摘要

目的:作物工人面临日益炎热的工作条件。穿浅色的单层透气衣服,戴宽边帽,喝水,休息,遮荫,可以减少农作物工人患中暑的风险。服装偏好和有限的接触可能会阻止作物工人穿着最佳的工作服。然而,关于作物工人的工作场所服装偏好或他们的服装购买障碍(例如,进入零售商,成本)知之甚少。本定性研究旨在记录说西班牙语的作物工人的理想工作服,并了解阻止他们穿着减少热相关疾病风险的衣服的主要障碍。方法:于2023年8月至9月在科罗拉多州的蔬菜农场用西班牙语进行了四个焦点小组的调查。两位研究人员对定性焦点小组数据进行了专题分析。结果:2023年8月至9月,共有54名西班牙语种植业工人参加了焦点小组。调查结果显示,参与者知道哪些工作服可以预防与热有关的疾病。参与者主要在二手商店购买工作服。他们更喜欢轻便但耐用的衣服,以及覆盖头部、颈部和躯干的完整的衣服,长袖和裤子便于活动。要穿着工人定义的理想服装所描述的障碍包括成本和在他们喜欢的零售店找到特定风格的服装的困难。参与者表示,他们有兴趣与雇主合作,购买理想的服装,以预防与热有关的疾病。结论:西班牙语种植业工人对理想的工作服以及服装与预防热病的联系有明确的认识。然而,根据对科罗拉多州作物工人焦点小组的专题分析,成本和获得理想服装是最大的障碍。促进在炎热环境中工作时获得适当服装的战略和雇主参与服装选择是促进工人安全和减少农业农场工人中与热有关的疾病风险的潜在方法。

The Most Important Thing is to Know What to Wear When Working in the Sun.

Objective: Crop workers face increasingly hot working conditions. Wearing light-colored, single-layer breathable clothing and wide-brimmed hats, on top of having water, rest, and shade, can reduce the risk of heat illness among crop workers. Clothing preferences and limited access may prevent crop workers from wearing optimal work apparel. However, little is known about crop workers' workplace clothing preferences or their clothing acquisition barriers (e.g., access to retailers, cost). This qualitative study aimed to document Spanish-speaking crop workers' ideal work clothing and understand the primary barriers that prevent them from wearing clothing that reduces heat-related illness risk.

Methods: Four focus groups were conducted in Spanish on vegetable farms in Colorado during August and September 2023. Two researchers thematically analyzed qualitative focus group data.

Results: There were 54 Spanish-speaking crop workers who participated in focus groups during August and September 2023. Findings show participants know which work clothing options protect from heat-related illnesses. Participants purchased their work clothes primarily at second-hand stores. They preferred clothes made of light but durable materials and complete pieces that cover the head, neck, and trunk with long sleeves and pants that facilitate movement. Barriers to wearing worker-defined ideal clothing described include costs and the difficulty in finding the specific style of clothing at their preferred retail outlets. Participants described an interest in partnering with employers to purchase ideal clothing to prevent heat-related illness.

Conclusion: Spanish-speaking crop workers have a clear understanding of ideal work clothing and the link between clothing and heat illnesses prevention. However, based on thematic analysis of focus groups with crop workers in Colorado, cost and access to ideal clothing are the biggest barriers. Strategies that facilitate access to appropriate clothing for working in hot environments and involvement of employers in apparel choice are potential methods to promote worker safety and reduce the risk of heat-related illnesses among agricultural farmworkers.
