Abstract

Introduction: The
objective of the present study was to determine educational level of the
workers of a tea factory on occupational health and safety and to reveal the
factors affecting a healthy lifestyle.

Methods: The present
descriptive research was carried out in a tea factory where 352 workers are
employed between December 2016 and January 2017. 303 volunteer workers were
enrolled into the study and a questionnaire form including topics of
sociodemographic characteristics, occupational health and safety (OHS)
implementations, health state and working conditions that was developed through
literature information as well as Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale (HLBS) were
used for data analysis.

Results: Age
average of the workers who were all male was 39.88±5.53. Among the workers,
70.29% were elementary school graduate and more than half of the participants
(62.70%) have a middle income (500-1,000 USD). Mean score of HLBS scale was
118.00±20.28 points. Average score of the sub-topics was the highest in health
responsibility item with 22.06 points whereas the lowest score was detected in
physical activity sub-topic. It was
detected that 64.69% of the workers had an occupational health and safety
training at least once during their lifetime and 21.78% use a protective
equipment. Rate of exposure to work-related accidents was detected as 10.57%.

Abstract

Giriş: Bu
çalışmanın amacı çay fabrikasında çalışan işçilerin iş sağlığı ve güvenliği
eğitim durumlarını belirleyip sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarına etkileyen
faktörleri ortaya çıkarmaktır.

Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı
tipteki bu araştırma Aralık 2016 ile Ocak 2017 tarihleri arasında 352 işçinin
çalıştığı bir çay fabrikasında yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya 303 gönüllü işçi katılmış
ve verilerin toplanmasında, literatür bilgileri doğrultusunda geliştirilen
sosyodemografik özellikler iş sağlığı ve güvenliği bilgileri, sağlık durumu ve
çalışma koşullarını içeren anket formu ile birlikte Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi
Davranışları Ölçeği (SYBDÖ) kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Tamamı erkek
olan işçilerin yaş ortalaması 39,88±5,53’dir.İşçilerin 213 (%70,29)ü ilkokul
mezunu olup yarıdan daha fazlası 190(%62,70) orta düzey ekonomik gelire
(500-1000 dolar) sahipti. Ortalama SYBDÖ skoru 118,00±20,28 di. Madde puan
ortalaması en yüksek olan alt grubun 22,06 puan ile sağlık sorumluluğu iken en
düşük alt grup 15,34 puan ile fiziksel aktivite başlığıdır. işçilerin %64,69 u
çalışma hayatları boyunca en az bir kez iş sağlığı ve güvenliği eğitimi
aldığı,%21,78 in koruyucu ekipman kullandığı saptanmıştır. İş kazasına maruz
kalma oranı %10,57 olarak bulunmuştur.

Sonuç: İş sağlığı
ve güvenliği eğitimi almak, iş deneyimi ve geçirilmiş iş kazaları sağlıklı
yaşam biçimi davranışına olumlu yönde etki etmekteydi.
