摘要

目的:本研究评估了印度泰米尔纳德邦沿海地区非传统农村部落捕鱼社区的职业伤害和健康危害:本研究评估了印度泰米尔纳德邦沿海地区非传统农村部落捕鱼社区中与捕鱼这一职业相关的职业伤害和健康危害:这项横断面研究包括一个捕鱼社区的 170 人,其中男性(82 人)和女性(88 人)各占一半。通过问卷调查评估了包括职业史、生活方式特征、社会经济状况、个人习惯和健康状况在内的人口统计学细节:结果:渔业社区的社会经济地位较低,文化水平、生活方式和个人习惯较差。参与者的平均年龄为 38.8 岁(男性 34.8 岁;女性 39.9 岁)。只有 10%的受试者使用个人防护设备(PPE),每天工作时间从 8 小时到 24 小时不等。男性受试者有吸烟习惯(12%)和饮酒习惯(23%),而女性受试者则没有饮酒和吸烟习惯。发生的主要职业伤害是鲶鱼(72%)和牡蛎(48%)。大量女性受试者报告了肌肉骨骼疼痛。约 28% 的渔民的体重指数高于正常范围。血糖和血压异常以及呼吸系统和神经系统症状是其他主要的健康问题。报告的主要环境危害是盐度、太阳辐射、潮汐和大风:结论:处理鱼类和牡蛎时受伤是主要的职业负担。此外,在渔民中还发现肌肉骨骼疼痛和慢性疾病的发病率很高。为有效管理职业健康危害和促进健康,需要开展适当的培训和提高认识计划。

Occupational Injuries and Health Status Among Rural Tribal Non-Traditional Fishing Communities in the Coastal Region of Tamil Nadu, India.

Objectives: This study evaluated the occupational injuries and health hazards associated with fishing as an occupation among non-traditional rural tribal fishing communities in the coastal region of Tamil Nadu, India.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 170 individuals belonging to a fishing community, comprising both male (n = 82) and female (n = 88) participants. The demographic details including occupational history, lifestyle characteristics, socio-economic status, personal habits, and health status were assessed through the questionnaire survey.

Results: The fishing community has a low socioeconomic status and poor literacy, lifestyle, and personal habits. The mean age of the participants was 38.8 yrs (male 34.8; female 39.9 yrs). Only 10% reported usage of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the work duration varied from 8 to 24 hrs in a day. While male subjects reported smoking habits (12%) and alcohol consumption (23%), none of the females reported alcohol consumption and smoking habits. The major occupational injuries that occurred were due to catfish (72%) and oysters (48%). A large number of female subjects reported musculoskeletal pains. The body mass index of about 28% of fishermen was above the normal range. Abnormal blood sugar, blood pressure, and respiratory and neurological symptoms were the other major health complaints. The major environmental hazards reported were salinity, solar radiation, tides, and high wind.

Conclusion: Injuries from handling fish and oysters were observed to be the major occupational burden. Additonally, a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and chronic health illness was commonly observed among the fishers. Adequate training and awareness programs are required for effective management of occupational health hazards and health promotion.
