Abstract

Nutritional status is a nutritional need that must be met by every workforce. Workers who have less or more nutritional status will result in a decrease in the degree of health of workers so that it can affect work performance and concentration. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between sleep quality, eating habits, physical activity with nutritional status in night shift workers at Niagara Microhydro Power Plant (PLTMH) PT. Nusantara Indah Energindo in the generation sector of South Oku Regency. This research is a quantitative study that uses cross sectional research design. The study sample was determined using the Total Sampling technique with a sample number of 35. Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted on this study using the chi-square test. The results of the univariate analysis showed that as many as 54.3% of night hift workers had overweight nutritional status and the results of bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant association between energy adequacy levels (p=0.000) and carbohydrate adequacy levels (p=0.002) with nutritional status. Meanwhile, there was no significant association between sleep quality (p=1,000), protein adequacy (p=0.146), fat adequacy (p=0.096) and physical activity (p=1,000) with nutritional status. Based on research, it is expected that workers can apply balanced nutrition to my plate as one of efforts to maintain weight.
