It has been suggested that inappropriate working conditions and unsafe environments at construction sites, longer working hours, and inadequate workplaces adversely affect the health behaviors of workers.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of occupational health and safety (OHS) practices on healthy lifestyle behaviors of workers employed at a construction site of a private company in Gaziantep, Turkey.
The sampling size of this descriptive study consisted of 400 employees working at the construction site between December 2014 and January 2015. In all, 341 employees still working or participating in the study during the period of this questionnaire study were included in the sampling. Data from the survey were derived from responses to questions regarding sociodemographic characteristics, OHS applications, health state, and working conditions, as well as to the questions in on the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale (HLBS), under direct surveillance.
Male workers with a mean age of 30.61 ± 8.68 years constituted the study population. Of the workers, 41.9% had a primary school education. The majority received professional and OHS training (65.7% and 79.2%, respectively). Although 83.9% reported using personal protective equipment (PPE), only 2.1% said they had experienced an occupational accident. Total mean score of HLBS scale was 116.91 ± 25.62 points. Workers who had positive thoughts about their jobs demonstrated healthy lifestyle behaviors (P = .0001). A positive direct correlation was detected between the training the workers received and the use of PPE (P = .0001). In all, 38.1% of the workers reported experiencing work stress at the time of the study. Mean HLBS scores of those experiencing work stress were lower than the scores for workers not experiencing stress (P < .05).
Receiving OHS and professional training and using of PPE favorably affect healthy lifestyle behaviors.
有人认为，建筑工地不适当的工作条件和不安全的环境、较长的工作时间以及工作场所不足会对工人的健康行为产生不利影响。
本研究旨在评估职业健康与安全（OHS）措施对土耳其加济安泰普一家私营公司建筑工地工人健康生活方式行为的影响。
这项描述性研究的样本量包括2014年12月至2015年1月期间在该建筑工地工作的400名员工。在本次问卷调查研究期间，仍在工作或参与研究的341名员工被纳入样本。调查数据来自于关于社会人口学特征、职业健康与安全应用、健康状况和工作条件的问题的回答，以及在直接监督下对健康生活方式行为量表（HLBS）中问题的回答。
研究人群为平均年龄30.61±8.68岁的男性工人。其中，41.9%的工人接受过小学教育。大多数人接受过专业和职业健康与安全培训（分别为65.7%和79.2%）。虽然83.9%的人报告使用了个人防护设备（PPE），但只有2.1%的人表示曾经历过职业事故。HLBS量表的总平均分是116.91±25.62分。对工作有积极想法的工人表现出健康的生活方式行为（P = .0001）。检测到工人接受的培训与PPE的使用之间存在正相关（P = .0001）。在研究期间，共有38.1%的工人报告经历过工作压力。经历工作压力的人的平均HLBS得分低于未经历压力的工人（P < .05）。
接受职业健康与安全培训和专业培训以及使用PPE对健康生活方式行为有积极影响。
