Hubungan Gerakan Berulang terhadap Gejala Nyeri Tangan pada Pekerja Bagian Tenun di Industri Lurik Indah Klasik Klaten

Abstract

Weaving workers at the Lurik Indah Klasik Industry in Klaten are at risk of experiencing health
problems caused by repetitive movements performed over long periods. One of the most common
complaints is hand pain, which can result from continuous muscle and joint strain without sufficient
movement variation or adequate rest. The weaving activity requires constant use of the hands and wrists,
which increases the risk of muscle fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders. This study aims to determine
the relationship between repetitive movements and hand pain symptoms among weaving workers at
Lurik Indah Klasik Industry, Klaten. The research design employed an observational analytic approach
with a cross-sectional method. The study population consisted of 28 workers, and all were included as
research subjects using the total sampling technique. The instrument used to assess pain levels was the
Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), while the relationship analysis was conducted using the Somers’d test.
The results showed a significant relationship between repetitive movements and hand pain symptoms,
with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.583, indicating a moderate relationship. These findings suggest
that the higher the frequency and duration of repetitive movements, the more likely workers are to
experience hand pain. Therefore, ergonomic interventions such as implementing rest breaks,
introducing movement variation, and improving working posture are recommended to reduce the risk
of hand pain among weaving workers.
