Health and safety education for farmers has the potential to increase the level of health, safety literacy, and thereby improve farmers' health and quality of life. The aim of this paper is to provide a systematic review of the published literature documenting different educational interventions for agricultural workers that have the improvement of health and/or safety literacy as an outcome. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Scopus and PsycINFO databases for articles focusing on educational interventions for farmers' health and safety. From the 3357 initial hits, 36 unduplicated records met the inclusion criteria. The articles included in the review used educational interventions for farmers with the purpose of preventing farm-induced diseases and injuries, increasing the health and well-being of farmers, and promoting good manufacturing practices. The educational approaches considered varied from lectures, videos, newsletters, games, and community fairs, to involving the community in designing the intervention and training farmers to deliver the intervention to the community. Interventions that used evidence-based theories, which took into account cultural aspects and individual factors, used biomarkers as a behavior change measurement, and involved the community in the development of the intervention had the best results in terms of behavior change. The strategies of educational interventions identified in this review that produced good results have the potential to inform future researchers and policy makers in the design and implementation of public health interventions, programs and policies to improve the health of farmers and their families.
农民的健康与安全教育培训可能会提高健康、安全素养水平，从而改善农民的健康和生活质量。本文旨在对已发表的文献进行系统回顾，这些文献记录了不同的农业工人教育干预措施，其结果是提高健康和/或安全素养。在 PubMed、Embase、Scopus 和 PsycINFO 数据库中，我们对关注农民健康和安全的教育干预措施的文章进行了系统性检索。从最初的 3357 个命中记录中，有 36 个重复记录符合纳入标准。本综述中包含的文章使用了针对农民的教育干预措施，目的是预防由农场引起的疾病和伤害，提高农民的健康和福祉，并促进良好生产规范。所考虑的教育方法从讲座、视频、通讯、游戏和社区集市，到让社区参与设计干预措施以及培训农民向社区提供干预措施，不一而足。在行为改变方面，使用基于证据的理论、考虑到文化方面和个体因素、使用生物标志物作为行为改变测量指标、以及让社区参与干预措施开发的干预措施效果最佳。本综述中确定的、产生良好效果的教育干预策略有可能为未来的研究人员和政策制定者在设计和实施公共卫生干预措施、方案和政策以改善农民及其家庭健康方面提供信息。
