abstract="This study aimed to investigate the poisoning symptoms occurring in pesticide-exposed farmers. This study was conducted in a red onion farming center area in Wanasari Subdistrict, Brebes, Indonesia, from May to June 2018. This study was designed as the descriptive study. The significance value of <i>p</i> < 0.005 showed that the variable was correlated with the health problems, including excessive fatigue (<i>p</i> value = 0.041), excessive saliva (<i>p</i> value = 0.006), hard breathing (<i>p</i> value = 0.021), frequent urination (<i>p</i> value = 0.047), blurred vision (<i>p</i> value = 0.059), dizziness (<i>p</i> value = 0.032), and finger pain (<i>p</i> value = 0.007). The significance value (<i>p</i> < 0.005) of 0.000 showed that the use of personal protective equipment was correlated with the health problems. Based on the odds ratio value of 1.137, 95% confidence interval = 0.042-0.444 meant that the personal protective equipment was a risk factor of health problems. The results showed that 89.2% of the farmers who used the personal protective equipment were categorized in the healthy group.<br><br>Copyright © 2020 Tri Joko et al.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
