职业性眼外伤的危险因素在国内尚未发表。本研究采用病例对照研究方法,分析不同职业人群对职业事故预防知识、态度和行为(KAP)的差异。本研究还建立了一个预测职业问题的统计模型。受试者,包括31例与工作有关的眼损伤和62名对照,完成了一个结构式问卷调查的KAP,其中显示,80.6%的工人在病例组和对照组,分别为62.7%,没有戴眼睛保护在工作中。此外,我们发现临时工作(OR,10.7; 95%CI,3.03 - 36.16)和少于10年的教育(OR,4.44; 95%CI,1.73 - 11.44)是职业性眼损伤的主要危险因素。此外,我们开发了一个逻辑回归模型,四个预测因素(临时就业,教育年数小于10,管理不善的工业卫生和安全工作场所,对事故预防态度差)的发生职业性眼损伤。结论:在台湾,强制规定工作时配戴护目镜、良好的教育、工作安全与卫生的管理以及员工(尤其是临时工)对安全与健康的承诺是强烈推荐的预防策略。
The risk factors for occupational eye injuries have never been published in Taiwan. We conducted a case-control study to analyze the differences among workers on their knowledge, attitude to and practice (KAP) of occupational accident prevention. In the study, a statistical model was also set up for predicting the occupational problem. Subjects, including 31 cases of work-related eye injuries and 62 controls, completed a structured questionnaire on KAP, which revealed that 80.6% and 62.7% of workers in the case and control groups, respectively; did not wear eye protection during work. Furthermore, we found that temporary employment (OR, 10.7; 95% CI, 3.03-36.16) and fewer than 10 years of education (OR, 4.44; 95% CI, 1.73-11.44) were the major risk factors for occupational eye injuries. In addition, we developed a logistic regression model with four predictors (temporary employment, education years less than 10, poor management of industrial health and safety in the workplace, and poor attitude towards accident prevention) for the occurrence of occupational eye injuries. In conclusion, in Taiwan, compulsory regulation of wearing eye protection during work, good education, management of work safety and hygiene and employee (especially temporary worker) commitment to safety and health are strongly recommended prevention strategies.
