This systematic literature review (SLR) aims to determine the factors influencing the use of hearing protection devices (HPDs) among industrial workers. This study was guided by the PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) review method, and four databases comprising Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar were employed. A total of 196 articles were identified, and 28 studies on the factors associated with HPD use among industrial workers from 2006 to 2021 met the inclusion criteria. Resultantly, five main themes emerged from this review: sociodemographic (29%), interpersonal influences (18%), situational influences (18%), cognitive-perceptual (29%), and health-promoting behavior (6%) associated with HPD use among industrial workers. A total of 17 sub-themes were identified, including age, gender, educational level, noise level, working experience, social models, interpersonal support, social norms, safety climate, training, organizational support, perceived barrier, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, self-efficacy, and cues to action. The significant factors influencing workers to use HPDs are sociodemographic, interpersonal influences, situational influences, and health-promoting behavior. Future studies should focus on the cues to action toward human behavior influencing the use of HPDs, workers' health status, and comorbidities of hearing loss. Therefore, this systematic study gives valuable reference resources for up-and-coming researchers as well as new knowledge to expert professionals and academics in various industries.
本系统文献回顾（SLR）旨在确定影响工业工人使用听力保护装置（HPD）的因素。本研究遵循 PRISMA 声明（系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目）审查方法，使用了 Scopus、Science Direct、PubMed、Wiley Online Library 和 Google Scholar 四个数据库。共确定了 196 篇文章，其中有 28 项研究符合纳入标准，涉及 2006 年至 2021 年期间与工业工人使用 HPD 相关的因素。因此，从本次综述中出现了五个主要主题：社会人口统计学（29%）、人际关系影响（18%）、情境影响（18%）、认知感知（29%）和促进健康行为（6%）与工业工人使用 HPD 有关。共确定了 17 个子主题，包括年龄、性别、教育水平、噪声水平、工作经验、社会榜样、人际支持、社会规范、安全氛围、培训、组织支持、感知障碍、感知易感性、感知严重程度、感知益处、自我效能和行动提示。影响工人使用 HPD 的重要因素是社会人口统计学、人际关系影响、情境影响和促进健康的行为。未来的研究应关注影响 HPD 使用的人类行为的行动提示、工人的健康状况和听力损失的共病。因此，这项系统研究为未来的研究人员提供了有价值的参考资源，并为各行业的专家专业人士和学者提供了新知识。
