该分析描述了拉丁美洲移民农场工人的工作安全气候及其与肌肉骨骼不适，受伤或生病时工作和抑郁症状的关系。数据来自2009年在北卡罗来纳州对300名农场工人进行的横断面调查。广义估计方程模型被用来研究工作安全气氛与健康和安全结果的关联。农场工人认为他们的工作安全环境很差。约40%的人有肌肉骨骼不适，5.0%的人在受伤或生病时工作至少1天，27.9%的人有抑郁症状。工作安全环境每增加1个单位，肌肉骨骼不适的几率降低12%，受伤或生病时工作的几率降低15%。工作安全气氛与抑郁症状无相关性。安全生产环境对农业劳动者来说是非常重要的。不良的工作安全氛围与健康结果（肌肉骨骼不适）和安全（受伤或生病时工作）相关。需要采取干预措施，改善农业的工作安全环境，这些干预措施应针对雇主和工人。
This analysis described Latino migrant farmworkers' work safety climate and its association with musculoskeletal discomfort, working while injured or ill, and depressive symptoms. Data were from a cross-sectional survey of 300 farmworkers conducted in North Carolina in 2009. Generalized estimating equations models were used to investigate the association of work safety climate with health and safety outcomes. Farmworkers perceived their work safety climate to be poor. About 40% had elevated musculoskeletal discomfort, 5.0% had worked at least 1 day while injured or ill, and 27.9% had elevated depressive symptoms. The odds of elevated musculoskeletal discomfort were 12% lower and the odds of working while injured or ill were 15% lower with each 1-unit increase in the work safety climate. Work safety climate was not associated with depressive symptoms. Work safety climate was important for agricultural workers. Poor work safety climate was associated with health outcomes (musculoskeletal discomfort) and safety (working while injured or ill). Interventions to improve work safety climate in agriculture are needed, with these interventions being directed to employers and workers.
