tahun memiliki risiko mengalami stress 8 kali lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan yang masa kerjanya lebih singkat
(ORa=8,11; 95% CI=1,93-5,11; p=0,032). Hipertensi meningkatkan risiko mengalami stres 2,8 kali lipat (ORa
=2,79; 95% CI=1.33-23,02; p=0,040).

the risk factors of stress on the female flight attendants in Indonesia. The study used a cross sectional design and
consecutive sampling method with a total sample of 178 female flight attendants who underwent medical checkup
at the Aviation Medical Center, the Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia. The study was carried

female flight attendants experienced stress. Female flight attendants with working period of 6-10 years had a risk
of stress 8 times higher than those with shorter working period (adjusted odds ratio (ORa) = 8.11; 95% confidence
interval (CI) = 1.93 to 5.11; p=0.032).Having hypertension increased the risk of stress by 2.8-fold (ORa = 2.79;
95% CI=1.33 to 23.02; p=0.040).
