摘要

背景这项研究是西班牙的首次调查,目的是严格评估在工作场所接触生物制剂的公司中使用安全护目镜和面罩作为必要的个人防护设备 (PPE) 的合规性。本研究旨在调查面罩和安全护目镜作为个人防护设备 (PPE) 的使用程度、影响其使用的因素以及西班牙卫生部门、农业部门、肉类行业、废物处理厂、食品行业和兽医中心等企业中接触职业生物制剂的工人的概况。我们编制了一份 34 个项目的调查问卷,以评估工人对其工作场所接触生物制剂的风险认知。在这些问题中,有三个问题是为了测量在暴露于生物制剂的部门中关键防护设备的使用程度:防护手套、安全护目镜或面罩。我们只分析了安全护目镜和面罩。我们进行了各种统计分析,包括 Cronbach's alpha、认可频率、使用 Lawshe 方法的内容效度比、方差旋转、Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin 检验和 Bartlett 球形度检验,以评估问卷的内部一致性和可靠性。此外,我们还采用了卡方自动交互检测(CHAID)细分分析法,将工人对使用安全护目镜和面罩作为个人防护设备以防范生物风险的态度的回答作为独立因素,并将人口统计学变量作为独立因素。结果在本研究中,CHAID 分析显示,与接触其他组生物制剂的工人相比,接触第 2 组生物制剂的工人使用更多的安全护目镜和面罩。结论本次研究的 CHAID 分析表明,接触第 2 组和第 3 组生物制剂的工人在遵守和使用防护口罩方面表现出令人满意的水平,在使用率方面超过了他们的同行。食品和实验室行业的工人对预防措施的依从性较差,而在设有内部健康和安全部门的公司工作的员工则对工作场所口罩的使用表现出明显的依从性,从而保护了自身免受生物风险的影响。

Chi-square automatic interaction detection (CHAID) analysis of the use of safety goggles and face masks as personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect against occupational biohazards

Background

This study represents the first Spanish investigation to rigorously evaluate compliance with the use of safety goggles and face masks as essential personal protective equipment (PPE) in companies with workplaces involving exposure to biological agents.

Objectives

This study aimed to examine the degree of use of face masks and safety goggles as personal protective equipment (PPE), the factors that influence their use, and the profile of workers exposed to occupational biological agents in Spanish companies in the health sector, farming sector, meat industry, waste treatment plants, food industry, and veterinary centers.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study involving 590 Spanish workers from 51 companies. We developed a 34-item questionnaire to assess workers’ perception of risk related to exposure to biological agents in their workplaces. Among the questions, three were designed to measure the degree of use of key protective equipment in sectors with biological agent exposure: protective gloves, safety goggles or face masks. We only analyzed safety goggles and face masks. We performed various statistical analyses, including Cronbach’s alpha, frequency of endorsement, content validity ratio using Lawshe’s method, varimax rotation, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test, and Bartlett’s sphericity test, to assess the internal consistency and reliability of the questionnaire. Additionally, we employed a chi-square automatic interaction detection (CHAID) segmentation analysis, using workers’ responses regarding their attitudes toward safety goggles and face mask usage as PPE for protection against biological risks, with demographic variables as independent factors.

Results

In the current study, CHAID analysis revealed that workers exposed to group 2 biological agents used more safety goggles and face shields compared with workers exposed to other groups of biological agents. Moreover, workers in laboratories and the food industry used face masks more than workers of other sectors.

Conclusion

The CHAID analysis in the current study indicated that workers exposed to biological agents from both group 2 and group 3 demonstrated satisfactory levels of compliance and utilization of protective masks, surpassing their counterparts in terms of usage. Workers in the food and laboratory industries had subpar compliance with preventive measures, and employees from companies with internal health and safety departments exhibited significant adherence to workplace mask usage, safeguarding themselves against biological risks.
