This project extends research on hazardous exposures and injuries among home care workers. Historical data from Oregon home care workers were analyzed to identify the most common lost time injuries and contributing factors, and 7 focus groups were conducted with workers (n = 53) to gather data on demographics, health, and perceptions of occupational hazards. Results indicate that workers are at particular risk for back, knee, and shoulder injuries during client and material moving tasks and that workers' self-reported task exposures and risk perceptions are highly aligned with injury data.
该项目拓展了针对家庭护理工作者有害暴露及伤害情况的研究。分析了俄勒冈州家庭护理工作者的历史数据，以确定最常见的误工伤害及促成因素，并与53名工作者进行了7次焦点小组访谈，收集有关人口统计学、健康状况以及职业危害认知的数据。结果表明，在搬运客户和物资任务期间，工作者背部、膝盖和肩部受伤风险尤为突出，且工作者自我报告的任务暴露情况和风险认知与伤害数据高度吻合。
