Workplaces are a common location for infectious disease transmission among adults. To provide recommendations regarding appropriate health promotion programs, we evaluated the impact of three different interventions on factory workers.
In a prospective intervention study carried out from October 2012 to June 2013, three factories were selected and each was assigned a different intervention method (i.e. self-study group, manager training group and interactional group discussion group). Participants were scored on their knowledge, behavior, and hygienic practices related to infectious disease prevention both before and after the intervention.
A total of 1154 participants completed the survey before the intervention and 1111 completed the survey after. The sum infectious disease knowledge score in the manager training group was higher after the intervention (9.09/12) than before (8.63/12, t=4.47, p<0.05). There was no significant difference in sum infectious disease knowledge score pre and post intervention for both the self-study group and the interactional group discussion.
Overall, change in health behaviors and hygiene practices were not as affected compared to changes in knowledge after interventions related to infectious disease health promotion. Training managers who then interact with workers may be an effective and efficient way of educating workers on health issues.
工作场所是成年人传染病传播的常见场所。为了提供有关适当健康促进计划的建议，我们评估了三种不同干预措施对工厂工人的影响。
在 2012 年 10 月至 2013 年 6 月进行的一项前瞻性干预研究中，选择了三家工厂，并为每家工厂分配了不同的干预方法（即自学组、经理培训组和互动小组讨论组）。在干预前后，根据参与者与传染病预防相关的知识、行为和卫生习惯对他们进行评分。
共有 1154 名参与者在干预前完成了调查，1111 名参与者在干预后完成了调查。经理培训组的传染病知识总分在干预后（9.09/12）高于干预前（8.63/12，t=4.47，p<0.05）。自学组和互动小组讨论组在干预前后的传染病知识总分均无显著差异。
总体而言，与传染病健康促进相关的干预措施对健康行为和卫生习惯的改变影响不如对知识的改变影响大。培训与工人互动的经理可能是教育工人关注健康问题的有效且高效的方法。
