Medan is the capital of North Sumatera Province and the most industrialised area of North Sumatera. One of the largest industries in Medan is the wooden industry. Ocular trauma is often happened in Medan and causes a serious problem.
This study aimed to analyse the correlation between ocular trauma among the carpenters and the using of eye protection during work and educational level.
This study is conducted among the carpenters that work in the wooden industry. There were 30 carpenters that being observed about age, educational level and working hours and the using of eye protection during work that might be related to ocular trauma. All carpenters completed a comprehensive examination and interview.
The most common age range of ocular trauma was between 26-45 years (56.7%), and all were male. Most of the traumatised carpenters educational level had a higher educational level (50%), and workers that had traumatised works more than 8 hours a day (66.7%). From this study, there was a significant correlation between ocular trauma among the carpenters and age (p = 0.047), and working hours (p = 0.039).
No significant correlation between ocular trauma among the carpenters and the using of eye protection during work (p = 0.464), and educational level (0.925) was found. Furthermore to anticipate the high rate of worked-related ocular trauma required labour regulations that cover the age of recruitment workers and working hours a day. Work safety regulation protects the workers from work-related ocular trauma.
棉兰是北苏门答腊省的首府，也是北苏门答腊工业化程度最高的地区。棉兰最大的产业之一是木材工业。眼部创伤在棉兰经常发生，并引发严重问题。
本研究旨在分析木匠眼部创伤与工作期间使用眼部防护用品及教育水平之间的相关性。
本研究在木材工业领域工作的木匠中进行。观察了30名木匠的年龄、教育水平、工作时长以及工作期间可能与眼部创伤相关的眼部防护用品使用情况。所有木匠均完成了全面检查和访谈。
眼部创伤最常见的年龄范围在26 - 45岁之间（56.7%），且均为男性。大多数受创伤木匠的教育水平较高（50%），每天工作超过8小时的受创伤工人占比（66.7%）。从本研究来看，木匠眼部创伤与年龄（p = 0.047）和工作时长（p = 0.039）之间存在显著相关性。
未发现木匠眼部创伤与工作期间使用眼部防护用品（p = 0.464）及教育水平（0.925）之间存在显著相关性。此外，为了预测与工作相关的高眼部创伤发生率，需要有涵盖工人招聘年龄和每日工作时长的劳动法规。工作安全法规可保护工人免受与工作相关的眼部创伤。
