Analysis on occupational health literacy related to pneumoconiosis among medical staff in occupational health institutions in Nanning City
Objective To understand the level of occupational health literacy related to pneumoconiosis among medical staff in occupational health institutions in Nanning City,and to provide a basis for government departments to formulate health promotion policies.Methods In 2023,a combined method of stratified cluster sampling was used to select 364 medical personnel from occupational health institutions in Nanning City.The data of occupational health literacy related to pneumoconiosis were collected by one-to-one face-to-face interview,focus group discussion and online electronic questionnaire surveys and other methods,and the data were analyzed.Results The occupational health literacy related to pneumoconiosis among medical staff in occupational health institutions in Nanning City was 76.92％.The levels of occupational health literacy across four dimensions:legal knowledge of occupational health,basic knowledge about pneumoconiosis,basic skills of occupational health protection related to pneumoconiosis,and health work methods and behaviors related to pneumoconiosis were 82.97％,87.91％,81.04％,and 95.05％,respectively.The current place of residence and length of service engaged in pneumoconiosis work were both factors affecting the level of occupational health literacy related to pneumoconiosis(both P＜0.05).Compared to medical personnel currently residing in rural areas,the level of occupational health literacy related to pneumoconiosis among medical personnel in urban areas had increased to 3.51 times(OR=3.51).Compared to medical personnel who had not worked on pneumoconiosis,the occupational health literacy levels related to pneumoconiosis among medical personnel with less than 5 years of service and those with more than 5 years of service had increased to 1.91 and 5.46 times respectively(OR=1.91 and 5.46).Conclusion The occupational health literacy concerning pneumoconiosis among medical staff in occupational health institutions in Nanning City was higher than the national level for key populations in 2022.However,occupational health protection skills were still relatively weak,and there was an imbalance between urban and rural areas.In the future,medical staff and new recruits in rural areas should be listed as the key training targets,with a focus on strengthening basic skills training for occupational health protection,continuously improving the occupational health literacy of medical personnel related to pneumoconiosis,thereby enhancing the management level of occupational health institutions for pneumoconiosis patients,and ultimately improving the overall effectiveness of prevention,treatment,and management of pneumoconiosis patients in Nanning City.
