Analysis of factors influencing fatigue in minibus drivers at PT Executive Tiomaz Trans Kota Medan

Abstract

Fatigue among drivers remains a significant cause of accidents in the transportation sector, often resulting in fatalities. This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with driver fatigue among mini-bus drivers at PT Executive Tsiomaz Trans in Medan City. Employing a cross-sectional design, the research encompasses the entire population of bus drivers working at PT Executive Tiomaz Trans Kota Medan, with a sample size of 54 mini-bus drivers selected using total sampling techniques. Data analysis involved univariate and bivariate analyses utilizing chi-square and Fisher exact tests. Based on the bivariate analysis, variables found to be correlated include age (p value: 0.016), nutritional status (p value: 0.034), driving duration (p value: 0.01), and sleep quantity (p value: 0.01). Conversely, variables such as physical health condition, tenure, workload, and rest time showed no significant correlation with driver fatigue.
