To investigate the relationship between the time working as a truck driver and the report of involvement in traffic accidents or near-miss accidents.
A cross-sectional study was performed with truck drivers transporting products from the Brazilian grain harvest to the Port of Paranaguá, Paraná, Brazil. The drivers were interviewed regarding sociodemographic characteristics, working conditions, behavior in traffic and involvement in accidents or near-miss accidents in the previous 12 months. Subsequently, the participants answered a self-applied questionnaire on substance use. The time of professional experience as drivers was categorized in tertiles. Statistical analyses were performed through the construction of models adjusted by multinomial regression to assess the relationship between the length of experience as a truck driver and the involvement in accidents or near-miss accidents.
This study included 665 male drivers with an average age of 42.2 (±11.1) years. Among them, 7.2% and 41.7% of the drivers reported involvement in accidents and near-miss accidents, respectively. In fully adjusted analysis, the 3rd tertile of professional experience (>22years) was shown to be inversely associated with involvement in accidents (odds ratio [OR] 0.29; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.16-0.52) and near-miss accidents (OR 0.17; 95% CI 0.05-0.53). The 2nd tertile of professional experience (11-22 years) was inversely associated with involvement in accidents (OR 0.63; 95% CI 0.40-0.98).
An evident relationship was observed between longer professional experience and a reduction in reporting involvement in accidents and near-miss accidents, regardless of age, substance use, working conditions and behavior in traffic.
探讨卡车司机工作时间与交通事故或险些发生事故报告之间的关系。
对从巴西谷物收获地运输产品至巴拉那州巴拉那瓜港的卡车司机进行了一项横断面研究。就社会人口学特征、工作条件、交通行为以及过去12个月内发生的事故或险些发生事故情况对司机进行了访谈。随后，参与者回答了一份关于物质使用的自填问卷。将司机的专业经验时间分为三分位数。通过构建经多项回归调整的模型进行统计分析，以评估卡车司机的经验时长与事故或险些发生事故之间的关系。
本研究纳入了665名男性司机，平均年龄为42.2（±11.1）岁。其中，分别有7.2%和41.7%的司机报告发生过事故和险些发生事故。在完全调整分析中，专业经验的第三个三分位数（>22年）与事故参与度（优势比[OR]0.29；95%置信区间[CI]0.16 - 0.52）和险些发生事故（OR 0.17；95% CI 0.05 - 0.53）呈负相关。专业经验的第二个三分位数（11 - 22年）与事故参与度呈负相关（OR 0.63；95% CI 0.40 - 0.98）。
观察到较长的专业经验与事故和险些发生事故报告减少之间存在明显关系，无论年龄、物质使用、工作条件和交通行为如何。
