The research shows that rice field farmers are more susceptible for having contact irrtitant dermatitis (61,2%) then compared to salt farmers (50,7%). Bivariate analysis in salt farmer shows a relationship between the history of skin disease (p<0,0001) POR 9,2 (2,6-31,9) and the use of self-protecting device (p=0,042) POR 6 (1,2-30,3) with contact irritant dermatitis. There is no correlation between working period, knowledge, personal hygiene and work history. The analysis in rice field farmer shows a relationship between working period (p=0,019) POR 3,9 (1,3-11,1), the history of skin disease (p<0,0001) POR 13 (3,9-43,6) and the use of self-protecting device (p=0,028) POR 4,9 (1,3-18,2) with contact irritant dermatitis.
