PREVENTION OF HEALTH PROBLEMS THROUGH TRAINING AND HEALTH SCREENING OF OIL PALM FARMERS AND FAMILIES IN THE AIR TERBIT VILLAGE, KAMPAR

Oil palm workers are a work group at high risk of experiencing health problems. Health problems experienced by oil palm farmers include being pricked by oil palm thorns, pain in the nape, shoulders, and hips, dizziness, headaches, and the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Oil palm farmers in Desa Air Terbit have never received training related to preventing health problems and rarely undergo health checks. The partners for this activity are the Tani Groups at Air Terbit Village. The solution to this problem is the provision of health education media using videos; Training in preventing health problems for oil palm farmers and their families; Health checks; and Involvement of stakeholders and partners in activities. Activities are carried out offline in Air Terbit Village. The results of the activity show an increase in understanding and skills of oil palm farmers in preventing health problems in oil palm farmers as well as data on health problems experienced. It is hoped that this activity can be useful in aspects of health, agriculture, economy and family welfare, as well as information system technology through health digitalization.
