- Abstract
Continuous noise exposure can cause many detrimental non-auditory effects on workers, one of which is increased job stress. This study aims to examine and analyze the relationship between continuous noise exposure and job stress on the workers at the Utility Unit of PT X, a factory in Gresik, East Java, Indonesia. This research uses the quantitative method with an observational analysis research design and a cross-sectional approach. The samples were drawn using a total sampling method. The research instruments employed in this study were a sound level meter (type 3M SE-402 VP 185057) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 42 (DASS-42) questionnaire. The results revealed that four areas in the Utility Unit had a continuous noise intensity value of more than 85 dBA. Those areas are the Coalmil, BFW Pump, ID Fan/FD Fan, and 8 Line Elevation areas. Most respondents were exposed to continuous noise on average for 18–20 h per week. The job stress measurement showed that 18 (45%) out of 40 respondents suffer from job stress. The data analysis using Spearman’s rho test showed a significant p-value of 0.029 (p < 0.05) and rho coefficient of 0.345, suggesting that there is a correlation between continuous noise and job stress of the workers at the Utility Unit of PT X in Gresik.
