| description | BACKGROUND: Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world with diverse marine and fisheries potential. Indonesia has a 16% role in supplying the world’s tuna fish needs. However, the life of a tuna fisherman is far from healthy. This is caused by a lack of awareness about maintaining health. This research aimed to determine the characteristics of disease patterns in tuna fishermen in Pelita Jaya Hamlet, West Seram Regency in 2024. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The number of samples in this study consisted of 68 people. The sampling technique in this study was accidental sampling. The subjects in this study were tuna fishermen ≥ 18 years old who were willing to become respondents. The research was conducted at Pelita Jaya Hamlet Fish Port, West Seram Regency in May 2024. The method used in this research is mixed quantitative using questionnaires and qualitative with Focus Group Discussion (FGD). RESULTS: The results of this research are the characteristics of tuna fishermen in Pelita Jaya Hamlet, West Seram Regency are dominated by tuna fishermen aged 36–45 years, education level is dominated by high school/MA graduates, work period is dominated by 16–20 years, smoking status is dominated by moderate smokers, and Alcohol consumption is dominated by the moderate category. The most common disease patterns among tuna fishermen in Pelita Jaya Hamlet are based on noninfective diseases dominated by gastritis, infective diseases dominated by Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI), and occupational diseases dominated by lower back pain (LBP).
