Family Social Support Can Reduce Work Stress In Farmers
Abstract
Background: Farmers often work alone in remote environments with little time for rest or socialization, leading to mental health problems and poor psychological well-being. The imbalance between physical and psychological aspects leads to physical responses such as difficulty concentrating, and psychological responses such as anxiety. Social support, self-efficacy, and coping mechanisms play a role in addressing farmers' work-related stress. Objective: This study aims to analyze family social support can reduce work stress in farmers Methods: The method used in this research is a literature study using 3 databases, namely Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed with a range of publication years 2019-2024. Results: The results showed that farmers' work stress can be caused by various factors, including heavy workload, long working hours, as well as pressure from weather, pests, and changes in market prices. Furthermore, it has been found that high family social support can reduce farmers' work-related stress. However, it has also been found that family social support has a significant impact on farmers' stress but not on farmers' psychological well-being. Conclusion: It is important for nurses to provide education to farmers to address work-related stress by first observing the causes of farmers' work-related stress and their experiences in coping with it. Family social support is one alternative that can be provided as education to farmers to address their work-related stress. Therefore, it is necessary to further understand how family social support affects farmers' work stress and how effective coping strategies can reduce this pressure.
