Little is known about how psychosocial work factors such as work stress, supervisor fairness, and language barriers affect risk of occupational injury among Latino farmworkers. This study attempts to address these questions. Surveys were administered via interviews to 225 Latino thoroughbred farmworkers. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of occupational injury in the past year in relation to occupational characteristics. Work stress (OR 6.70, 95% CI 1.84-24.31), supervisor unfairness (OR 3.34, 95% CI 1.14-9.73), longer tenure at farm (OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.13-6.34), and supervisor inability to speak Spanish (OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.05-5.00) were significantly associated with increased odds of occupational injury. Due to the associations between work stress, supervisor unfairness, supervisor inability to speak Spanish and injury, supervisor training to improve Spanish language ability and equitable management practices is merited. Future research is needed to understand the antecedents of work stress for Latino farmworkers.
对于诸如工作压力、主管公平性和语言障碍等社会心理工作因素如何影响拉丁裔农场工人的职业伤害风险，人们了解甚少。本研究试图解决这些问题。通过访谈对225名拉丁裔纯种马农场工人进行了调查。进行了多变量逻辑回归分析，以计算过去一年中职业伤害与职业特征相关的优势比（OR）和95%置信区间（CI）。工作压力（OR 6.70，95%CI 1.84 - 24.31）、主管不公平（OR 3.34，95%CI 1.14 - 9.73）、在农场工作年限较长（OR 2.67，95%CI 1.13 - 6.34）以及主管不会说西班牙语（OR 2.29，95%CI 1.05 - 5.00）与职业伤害几率增加显著相关。由于工作压力、主管不公平、主管不会说西班牙语与伤害之间存在关联，因此值得对主管进行培训，以提高其西班牙语能力并改进管理实践。未来需要开展研究以了解拉丁裔农场工人工作压力的成因。
