Abstract
Women farmers are a vital pillar of global food security (up to 43% of the agricultural workforce in developing countries) but face an overlooked dual burden of household and occupational risks.The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between health status, fatigue level, and pesticide exposure to the work productivity of farm women. This cross-sectional study surveyed 70 women farmers in Loa Janan District, Kutai Kartanegara, using standardized instruments: the SF-12, SOFI, and a questionnaire on pesticide exposure (health problems and PPE use) The results showed that SF-12 correlated with 0.040, SOFI did not correlate with 0.065, and pesticide exposure was associated with health problems by 0.030 and did not correlate with PPE use by 0.578. The study recommends boosting women farmers' productivity by improving their health through regular check-ups and implementing health interventions, specifically managing pesticide exposure risks.
