Because health-related quality of life among blue-collar workers has not been well studied, the purpose of this study was to determine factors associated with health-related quality of life among Operating Engineers.
With cross-sectional data from a convenience sample of 498 Operating Engineers, personal and health behavioral factors associated with health-related quality of life were examined.
Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that personal factors (older age, being married, more medical comorbidities, and depression) and behavioral factors (smoking, low fruit and vegetable intake, low physical activity, high body mass index, and low sleep quality) were associated with poor health-related quality of life.
Operating Engineers are at risk for poor health-related quality of life. Underlying medical comorbidities and depression should be well managed. Worksite wellness programs addressing poor health behaviors may be beneficial.
由于蓝领工人的健康相关生活质量尚未得到充分研究,因此本研究旨在确定与操作工程师健康相关生活质量相关的因素。
通过对 498 名操作工程师的便利样本进行横断面数据分析,研究了与健康相关的生活质量相关的个人和健康行为因素。
多变量线性回归分析显示,个人因素(年龄较大、已婚、更多的合并症和抑郁)和行为因素(吸烟、低水果和蔬菜摄入、低体力活动、高身体质量指数和低睡眠质量)与较差的健康相关生活质量有关。
操作工程师面临着较差的健康相关生活质量的风险。应妥善管理潜在的合并症和抑郁。针对不良健康行为的工作场所健康计划可能会有所帮助。
