Dermatitis kontak akibat kerja yang merupakan salah satu penyakit kelainan kulit yang sering timbul pada industri
dapat menurunkan produktifitas pekerja. Dermatitis kontak akibat kerja terjadi karena pekerja mengalami kontak
dengan bahan kimia, termasuk logam yang menimbulkan kelainan kulit. Tujuan utama penulisan ini adalah untuk
mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi dermatitis kontak akibat kerja pada pekerja yang terpajan bahan kimia
pada sebuah perusahaan otomotif di Indonesia, Cibitung Jawa Barat. Penelitian bersifat deskriptif. Subyek penelitian
berjumlah 54 responden diambil secara acak dengan stratified random sampling. Hasil dari penelitian yang semuanya
kontak dengan bahan kimia termasuk logam, 74% (40 pekerja) mengalami dermatitis kontak akibat kerja: akut 26% (14
pekerja), sub akut 39% (21 pekerja), dan kronik 9% (5 pekerja) adalah subyek penelitian yang mengalami dermatitis
kontak. Berdasarkan analisis statistik multivariat terdapat 3 faktor yang sangat mempengaruhi kejadian dermatitis
kontak ini, yaitu lama kontak, frekuensi kontak, dan yang paling dominan adalah penggunaan alat pelindung diri
(APD). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah tingkat insidensi laju 65% per seratus pekerja, dan prevalensi 74% per
seratus pekerja. Perlu ada upaya meminimalisasi dermatitis kontak dengan meningkatkan kesadaran pekerja untuk
menggunakan sarung tangan yang tepat dan meningkatkan pengetahuan pekerja.
Occupational contact dermatitis is one of skin disease in industrial settings which may reduce
worker productivities. The occupational contact dermatitis occurs when workers are come into contact with chemicals
at part of the worker?s body. This chemical contact could lead to an occupational contact dermatitis. The objective of
this research is to investigate factors related to the occupational contact dermatitis at the worker who come into contact
with chemicals used in industrial automotive company in Indonesia, Cibitung Jawa Barat. The study design is a
descriptive research. The research subjects were selected using a stratified random sampling, and the total subjects were
54 person. The data were collected based on physical examination by a medical doctor, and the research questionnaire.
Result from this study indicated that 74% (40 workers) experience dermatitis contact: acute dermatitis contact 26% (14
workers), sub acute 39% (21 workers), and chronic 9% (5 workers). Furthermore, data analysis using a multivariate
statistical analysis indicated that there are three major factors related to the occurence of contact dermatitis: duration of
contact, frequency of contact and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) particularly gloves. In conclusion,
incidence rate of occupational dermatitis contact at industrial setting is 65%/100 worker, and prevalence rate of
occupational dermatitis contact at industrial setting is 74%/100 worker. In order to minimize the occupational contact
dermatitis it is recommended to raise the workers awareness, the correct type of gloves used specifically to the type of
chemicals, as well as improving the workers knowledge.
