Stres kerja dapat mengakibatkan adanya ketidakseimbangan kondisi psikis serta fisik seorang pekerja. Stres kerja pada petani dapat terjadi karena pekerjaan berat, lama waktu bekerja, terpaparnya petani dengan pestisida dan nikotin. Petani yang memiliki risiko mengalami stres kerja akan membutuhkan dukungan dari keluarga. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan antara dukungan sosial keluarga dengan stres kerja pada petani tembakau di Kecamatan Kalisat Kabupaten Jember. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain crosssectional dengan teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan cluster sampling dan proportional sampling dengan besar sampel 91 (CI=90%). Alat ukur yang digunakan yaitu kuesioner stres kerja dan dukungan keluarga (Cronbach’s Alpha 0,937; 0,793). Penelitian ini telah dinyatakan lulus uji kelaikan etik penelitian kesehatan.

“…Many of the factors causing mental and emotional stress are viewed as uncontrollable, and include weather, diseases or pests, commodity prices, input costs, equipment failure, media portrayal of the agricultural industry, government policies and lack of adequate, affordable and accessible child care. Ramesh and Madhavi (2009) demonstrate that poor working conditions and prevalent negative economic situations induce high stress among farmers. As a result, Ramesh and Madhavi (2009) conclude, a significant percentage attend health clinics due to stress-related illnesses.…”
