Work-related injuries (WRIs) among construction workers have recently emerged as an important public health issue as the construction industry is booming in China. We investigated nonfatal unintentional work-related injuries and risk factors among male construction workers in central China.
A purposive sampling method was used in 2008 to select 1,260 male workers from 24 construction sites. WRIs that occurred in the past 12 months and possible risk factors were asked about in face-to-face interviews.
Among 1,260 male construction workers, 189 workers reported WRIs. The annual prevalence of nonfatal WRIs was 15.0 per 100 workers (95% confidence interval (CI): 13.0-17.0). The top three leading causes of injuries were collisions (27.3 per 100 workers), cuts/piercings (17.5 per 100 workers), and falls (15.5 per 100 workers). WRIs were significantly associated with high cigarette pack-year index (PYI > or = 20 vs. nonsmoker: adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.50, 95% CI: 1.31-4.76), serious alcohol consumption (> or =30ml/day vs. nondrinker: adjusted OR = 1.73, 95 %CI: 1.12-2.69), not having injury prevention and safety education (adjusted OR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.22-3.44), and had depressive symptoms (adjusted OR = 2.63, 95% CI: 1.22-5.67).
Our results suggest that annual prevalence of nonfatal construction injuries is high in central China and serious cigarette smoking, serious alcohol consumption, not having injury prevention and safety education, and depressive symptoms are considered important factors for those injuries.
随着中国建筑业的蓬勃发展,建筑工人的工作相关伤害(WRIs)最近成为一个重要的公共卫生问题。我们调查了中国中部男性建筑工人的非致命性非故意工作相关伤害和危险因素。
2008 年采用目的抽样方法从 24 个建筑工地中选择了 1260 名男性工人。通过面对面访谈询问了过去 12 个月内发生的工作相关伤害和可能的危险因素。
在 1260 名男性建筑工人中,有 189 名工人报告了工作相关伤害。非致命性工作相关伤害的年患病率为 15.0/100 名工人(95%置信区间[CI]:13.0-17.0)。受伤的前三大原因是碰撞(27.3/100 名工人)、切割/刺穿(17.5/100 名工人)和跌倒(15.5/100 名工人)。工作相关伤害与高香烟包年指数(PYI≥20 与不吸烟者相比:调整后的优势比[OR]为 2.50,95%CI:1.31-4.76)、大量饮酒(≥30ml/天与不饮酒者相比:调整后的 OR 为 1.73,95%CI:1.12-2.69)、未接受伤害预防和安全教育(调整后的 OR 为 2.05,95%CI:1.22-3.44)和存在抑郁症状(调整后的 OR 为 2.63,95%CI:1.22-5.67)显著相关。
我们的研究结果表明,中国中部地区非致命性建筑伤害的年患病率较高,严重吸烟、大量饮酒、未接受伤害预防和安全教育以及抑郁症状被认为是这些伤害的重要因素。
