The effects of safety behaviours associated with pesticide use on the occurrence of acute organ symptoms in 395 male and 101 female tobacco-growing farmers in Malaysia were studied. We used a 15-questionnaire checklist on safe pesticide-use behaviours and a 25-questionnaire checklist on acute organ symptoms reported shortly after spraying pesticides. Results of stepwise multiple linear regression analysis indicated that no smoking while spraying, good sprayer-condition, and changing clothes immediately after spraying significantly prevented occurrence of acute symptoms just after pesticide spray in male farmers; in female farmers, only wearing a hat while spraying significantly prevented the symptoms. Safety behaviours in pesticide use in male and female tobacco-growing farmers are discussed in the light of these findings.
研究了马来西亚395名男性和101名女性烟农使用农药时的安全行为对急性器官症状发生情况的影响。我们使用了一份关于安全使用农药行为的15项问卷清单和一份关于喷洒农药后不久报告的急性器官症状的25项问卷清单。逐步多元线性回归分析结果表明，男性烟农在喷洒农药时不吸烟、喷雾器状况良好以及喷洒后立即换衣服可显著预防喷洒农药后急性症状的发生；在女性烟农中，只有喷洒农药时戴帽子可显著预防这些症状。根据这些研究结果，对男性和女性烟农使用农药时的安全行为进行了讨论。
