OBJECTIVE
This study aims to examine the predisposing factors influencing occupational injuries among frontline construction workers in Ghana. A cross-sectional survey was carried out with 634 frontline construction workers in Kumasi metropolis of Ghana using a structured questionnaire. The study was conducted from December 2016 to June 2017 using a household-based approach. The respondents were selected through a two-stage sampling approach. A multivariate logistics regression model was employed to examine the association between risk factors and injury. Data was analyzed employing descriptive and inferential statistics with STATA version 14.
RESULTS
The study found an injury prevalence of 57.91% among the workers. Open Wounds (37.29%) and fractures (6.78%) were the common and least injuries recorded respectively. The proximal factors (age, sex of worker, income) and distal factors (e.g. work structure, trade specialization, working hours, job/task location, and monthly off days) were risk factors for occupational injuries among frontline construction workers. The study recommends that policymakers and occupational health experts should incorporate the proximal and distal factors in the design of injury prevention as well as management strategies.
目的
本研究旨在探讨影响加纳一线建筑工人职业伤害的诱发因素。采用结构化问卷对加纳库马西市的634名一线建筑工人进行了横断面调查。该研究于2016年12月至2017年6月采用基于家庭的方法进行。通过两阶段抽样方法选取受访者。采用多元逻辑回归模型来检验风险因素与伤害之间的关联。使用STATA 14版对数据进行描述性和推断性统计分析。
结果
研究发现工人中的伤害发生率为57.91%。开放性伤口（37.29%）和骨折（6.78%）分别是记录到的最常见和最少见的伤害。近端因素（年龄、工人性别、收入）和远端因素（如工作结构、行业专业化、工作时间、工作/任务地点和每月休息日）是一线建筑工人职业伤害的风险因素。该研究建议政策制定者和职业健康专家应将近端和远端因素纳入伤害预防及管理策略的设计中。
