农业工伤被认为是农村地区青少年面临的一个重要问题。然而,在包括中国在内的发展中国家,这方面的研究却很少。本研究评估了中国中学生的农业工伤,重点是农业工作时间,睡眠模式,学校相关的压力和农业工伤之间的潜在联系。这项横断面研究调查了湖南省1,551名在农场工作的中学生。这些调查评估了他们在三个月的回忆期内参与农场工作,睡眠模式,学校活动和与农场工作有关的伤害。在1,187名报告在农场工作的学生中,农场工伤的累积发生率为15.6%。每月平均耕作天数、每月农药使用次数、睡眠障碍和学校相关压力与农场工伤显著相关(p < 0.05)。多变量logistic回归分析显示,在调整了年龄、性别和每月农活天数等可能的混杂效应后,(睡眠少于7小时:OR = 2.36,95%CI = 1.07-5.22;夜间醒来,难以入睡:OR = 2.70,95%CI = 1.36-5.37;做噩梦:OR = 2.24,95%CI = 1.18-4.24)和学校相关应激(作业难:OR = 2.45,95%CI = 1.21-4.99;家长经常布置额外作业:OR = 3.62,95%CI = 1.88-6.97;因学习成绩差被家长责骂:OR = 2.45,95%CI = 1.21 - 4.99)OR = 2.53,95% CI = 1.75-3.65)为农场工伤的危险因素(P < 0.05)。
Farm work-related injuries are considered an important issue facing rural area adolescents. However, little research has been done in developing countries, including China. This study evaluated agricultural work-related injuries among Chinese middle school adolescents, focusing on the potential association between farm work hours, sleep patterns, school-related stress, and farm work-related injuries. This cross-sectional study surveyed 1,551 middle school students in Hunan Province who reported working on farms. The surveys assessed their involvement in farm work, sleep patterns, school activities, and farm work-related injuries during a three-month recall period. The cumulative incidence of farm work-related injury was 15.6% among the 1,187 students who reported working on a farm. Average days per month farming, number of pesticide applications per month, sleep disturbances, and school-related stress were significantly associated with farm work-related injuries (p < 0.05). Multi-variable logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for possible confounding effects of age, gender, and farm work days per month, sleep disturbance (less than 7 hours of sleep: OR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.07-5.22; awakening at night and having trouble falling back to sleep: OR = 2.70, 95% CI = 1.36-5.37; having nightmares: OR = 2.24, 95% CI = 1.18-4.24) and school-related stress (difficult homework: OR = 2.45, 95% CI = 1.21-4.99; extra homework assigned often by parents: OR = 3.62, 95% CI = 1.88-6.97; and scolded/chastised by parents for poor school performance: OR = 2.53, 95% CI = 1.75-3.65) were statistically significant risk factors for farm work-related injuries (p < 0.05).
