To determine healthy lifestyle behavior and affecting risk factors in workers at small and medium-sized enterprises from four different sectors in Aydin, Turkey.
This cross-sectional study was conducted at four different small and medium-sized enterprises in Aydin, Turkey and 264 employees participated in the study. A questionnaire was used for data collection. It consisted of questions about socio-demographic features (age, gender, marital status, education, perceived income, occupation and having children), health status, and medical history, medication use, having occupational accidents and occupational health and safety. Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale, which was developed by Walker et al. in 1996, was used to evaluate healthy lifestyle behaviors of the workers.
The mean score for Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale was 135.46±22.49. Gender, marital status, perceived income, sector of workplace, title, presence of a chronic disease, finding oneself healthy in the previous year and having an occupational accident in the previous year did not significantly affect any subscales of Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale. The workers aged over 50 years had significantly higher scores for health responsibility than those aged 20-29 years (p<0.05). The workers living in a village got significantly higher scores for Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale and its subscales health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition and spiritual development than those living in a city (p<0.05).
Although workers have good spiritual development, they may not adopt physical activity as a healthy lifestyle and that workers benefiting from occupational health and safety services can display healthy lifestyle behavior.
确定土耳其艾登四个不同部门的中小企业员工的健康生活方式行为及其影响风险因素。
本横断面研究在土耳其艾登的四个不同中小企业开展,264名员工参与了研究。采用问卷调查收集数据。问卷包括有关社会人口学特征(年龄、性别、婚姻状况、教育程度、感知收入、职业和子女情况)、健康状况、病史、用药情况、职业事故以及职业健康与安全等问题。使用Walker等人于1996年编制的健康生活方式行为量表来评估员工的健康生活方式行为。
健康生活方式行为量表的平均得分为135.46±22.49。性别、婚姻状况、感知收入、工作场所部门、职位、慢性病的存在、前一年自我感觉健康以及前一年发生职业事故对健康生活方式行为量表的任何子量表均无显著影响。50岁以上的员工在健康责任方面的得分显著高于20 - 29岁的员工(p<0.05)。与居住在城市的员工相比,居住在农村的员工在健康生活方式行为量表及其子量表健康责任、身体活动、营养和精神发展方面的得分显著更高(p<0.05)。
尽管员工有良好的精神发展,但他们可能未将身体活动作为一种健康生活方式加以采用,且受益于职业健康与安全服务的员工能够展现出健康的生活方式行为。
