在美国，大量被雇佣的农场工人来自墨西哥。了解工人对安全和健康的关注对于改善预防计划至关重要。目的：这项试点研究的目的是获得有关科罗拉多州和墨西哥境内受雇农场工人的安全和健康问题的详细信息。方法采用半结构化访谈方法，对来自科罗拉多州北部的10名移民农场工人和来自墨西哥瓜纳华托的5名季节性农场工人进行访谈。社会认知理论（SCT）是了解工人安全和健康的一个框架。研究发现，人们关注的问题包括农场、家庭和机动车伤害的原因，以及对伤害和疾病的治疗偏好。出现了四个主要主题：安全和健康问题、个人控制和预防战略、影响控制和预防战略的因素以及家庭的重要性。结论：采用修订后的半结构化访谈对主题进行进一步研究，将在雇佣农场工人中进行更大规模的研究。这些结果为目前了解这些工人的具体健康和安全问题的工作提供了补充。
ContextA large number of hired farmworkers in the United States come from México. Understanding safety and health concerns among the workers is essential to improving prevention programs.PurposeThe purpose of this pilot study was to obtain detailed information about safety and health concerns of hired farmworkers in Colorado and in México.MethodsA total of 10 migrant farmworkers from northern Colorado and 5 seasonal farmworkers from Guanajuato, México, were interviewed using a semi‐structured interview process. The social cognitive theory (SCT) served as a framework to gain understanding of safety and health among workers.FindingsTopics of concern identified included causes of farm, home and motor vehicle injuries, and treatment preferences for injuries and illnesses. Four main themes emerged: safety and health concerns, personal control and prevention strategies, factors affecting control and prevention strategies, and the importance of family.ConclusionsFurther study of the themes using a revised semi‐structured interview will be done in a larger study among hired farmworkers. The results add to the current work to understand specific health and safety concerns among these workers.
