Abstract:
Objective To understand the level of occupational health literacy (OHL) and its influencing factors among occupational population in five key industries of tertiary industry in Putuo District of Shanghai City. Methods A total of 1 159 front-line workers, from five key industries of tertiary industry in Putuo District of Shanghai City in 2023, were selected as the research subjects using the stratified cluster random sampling method. Their OHL levels were surveyed using the Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Populations. Results A total of 1 159 front-line workers in key industries were surveyed, and 476 had OHL, with an overall OHL level of 41.1%. The OHL levels across four dimensions including basic knowledge of occupational health protection, healthy lifestyle and behavior, legal knowledge of occupational health, and basic skills of occupational health protection from high to low were 72.9%,44.5%,42.2%, and 31.3%, respectively. The results of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender, educational level, and industry category were independent influencing factors for OHL level of the research subjects (all P<0.05). Female workers had higher OHL levels than males (P<0.05). Higher education level was associated with higher OHL level in workers (all P<0.05). Workers in industries of medical health had higher OHL level than those in couriers/delivery transportation, education and environmental health(all P<0.01). Conclusion The OHL level of occupational population in the five key industries of tertiary industry in Putuo District of Shanghai City needs to be further improved. Efforts should focus on enhancing health education on legal knowledge and basic skills of occupational health protection, with special attention to workers OHL in the transportation and courier/delivery industries and those with lower education levels.
