- Abstract
Indonesia is an agricultural country. Most of the population works in agriculture. Farmers use pesticides when farming activities. Pesticides are needed for plants attacked by pests and diseases. Pesticides poison when they are to be used and when they are prepared or finished using. Pesticides have the effect of inhibiting the distribution of nerve impulses by binding them to the cholinesterase enzyme. This study aims to determine the relationship between age, education, knowledge, and action. The research design used observational analytics with a cross-sectional approach. The research population is a group of farmers in Bumiaji District. The research sample totaling 379 people was taken based on inclusion and exclusion criteria using the total sampling technique. Univariate analysis using characteristic frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using chi-square. The results of the bivariate analysis test using the chi-square statistical test, the age variable (p = 0.669), the education variable (p = 0.034), the knowledge variable (p = 0.309), and the action variable (p = 0.938). The value below (p = 0.05) indicates a relationship with cholinesterase levels. In conclusion, there is no relationship between age, knowledge, and action with cholinesterase levels, but for the education factor, there is a relationship with cholinesterase levels.
