This study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of participatory training for promoting farmer's health and reducing agricultural work-related injuries. Candidates for this study included 595 farmers in 8 rural villages of South Korea. The one-day course participatory training was administered to 217 (36.5%) farmers and included an action-checklist, a good example presentation, and group discussion. The follow-up visit to participants' houses and farms was performed after 1 to 3 months. A direct interview survey was administered pre- and post-trainings. The total number of proposed action plans for the improvement of working condition was 620. It was observed that 61.5% of action plans (72.2% of short term and 41.3% of long term plans) were completely implemented. In regards to health and safety indices, the proportion of current smokers was reduced from 29.8% to 25.3% in the group that underwent training. The pesticide intoxication was reduced from 16.1% to 4.8% in participants that underwent training. However, the agricultural injury rate was unchanged in both groups. This study reports significant beneficial effects of participatory training in the agriculture sector in Korea.
本研究旨在探讨参与式培训在促进农民健康和减少农业工作相关伤害方面的有效性。本研究的对象包括韩国8个乡村的595名农民。对217名（36.5%）农民进行了为期一天的参与式培训课程，内容包括行动清单、良好范例展示和小组讨论。在1至3个月后对参与者的住所和农场进行了随访。在培训前后进行了直接访谈调查。提出的改善工作条件的行动计划总数为620项。结果发现，61.5%的行动计划（短期计划的72.2%和长期计划的41.3%）得到了完全实施。在健康和安全指标方面，接受培训的组中当前吸烟者的比例从29.8%降至25.3%。接受培训的参与者中农药中毒率从16.1%降至4.8%。然而，两组的农业伤害率均未改变。本研究报告了参与式培训在韩国农业部门产生的显著有益效果。
