Keywords:
Work Stress, Psychoeducation, Pamphlet Media, Mining EmployeesAbstract
Work stress is a common psychological issue among mining employees due to demanding workloads, long shifts, remote work locations, and high-risk environments. If not managed properly, stress can reduce concentration, decrease productivity, and increase the likelihood of workplace accidents. Therefore, effective and practical interventions are needed to help employees recognize and manage work-related stress. This study discusses the implementation of psychoeducation using pamphlet media as a preventive strategy to improve employees’ knowledge and coping abilities in managing work stress. Psychoeducation aims to provide individuals with an understanding of stress, its causes, symptoms, and appropriate coping techniques. Pamphlets were selected as the main educational medium because they deliver information in a concise, accessible, and visually engaging format, making them suitable for employees with limited time and varied educational backgrounds. The psychoeducational content included definitions of work stress, common stress triggers in mining settings, signs and symptoms of stress, and practical coping strategies such as relaxation techniques, time management, and healthy lifestyle habits. The results indicate that pamphlet-based psychoeducation can enhance employees’ awareness of work stress and encourage healthier coping responses. In addition, this approach is cost-effective, easy to distribute, and can be read repeatedly, supporting long-term learning
