Abstract:
Objective To analyze the current occupational health literacy (OHL) level and its influencing factors among manufacturing workers in Bao'an District, Shenzhen City. Methods The front-line workers of manufacturing enterprises from seven key industries in two streets of Bao'an District were selected as the research subjects using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Populations was used to online investigate their OHL level. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to screen the influencing factors of OHL. Results A total of 633 front-line workers of manufacturing enterprises were surveyed, and 283 had OHL, with an overall OHL level of 44.7%. The levels of literacy across different dimensions, from high to low, were basic knowledge of occupational health protection (84.5%), legal knowledge of occupational health (41.5%), health behaviors and practices (41.2%), and basic skills for occupational health protection (22.0%). The results of the multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that younger age, higher educational level, and higher personal monthly income, were related to higher OHL level among the workers (all P<0.05). Conclusion The OHL level of manufacturing workers in Bao'an District, Shenzhen City still has room for improvement. Efforts should focus on workers with low education levels, low incomes, and older ages, with targeted training in theoretical knowledge to improve the practical application of basic skills for occupational health protection, to improve their OHL.
