The purpose of this study was to determine which type of commercially available PFD resulted in the highest satisfaction among workers in the fishing industry. Fishing industry workers on four types of vessels wore and evaluated six different PFDs during their fishing seasons. Linear regression was used to test the differences in mean satisfaction scores, adjusting for clustered observations on vessels. The data were stratified by vessel type to determine the differences in PFD satisfaction within each vessel type. PFD D had the highest mean satisfaction score, but satisfaction with particular PFDs varied depending on the vessel type. Although the common objections by workers to wearing PFDs are that they are bulky and uncomfortable, some of the PFDs that were evaluated in this study received high scores for comfort and satisfaction. Given the availability of PFDs that are comfortable to wear while working, fishing vessel owners and operators should consider implementing policies mandating the use of PFDs on deck.
本研究旨在确定哪种商业上可用的救生衣在渔业工人中满意度最高。在捕鱼季节，四种类型船只上的渔业工人穿戴并评估了六种不同的救生衣。采用线性回归来检验平均满意度评分的差异，同时调整了船只上的聚类观测值。数据按船只类型分层，以确定每种船只类型内救生衣满意度的差异。救生衣 D 的平均满意度评分最高，但不同船只类型对特定救生衣的满意度也有所不同。尽管工人普遍反对穿救生衣，认为救生衣体积大且不舒服，但在这项研究中评估的一些救生衣在舒适性和满意度方面得分很高。鉴于有一些穿着舒适的救生衣可供选择，渔船所有者和经营者应该考虑实施在甲板上强制使用救生衣的政策。
