| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 衛生教育學系 === 94 === The main purpose of this study is to exam the effect of workers’ hearing protection behavior and the related factors by using the different intervention strategies on textile industry. Moreover, we further investigate workers’ assessment toward the brochure and CD-ROM which are designed in this study. This study was designed with the standard experimental method, ‘experiment group & control group with pre-test & post-test’. The study chose three textile mills with high-noise exposed workers. The experimental group one (80 people) took intervention program of hearing protection health education for four times and gave the assessment after each activity, the experimental group two (81 people) read health promotion brochures by themselves, and the control group (78 people) did not receive any treatment. All the participants were administered pre-test and post-test questionnaires at the same time. The main findings were as follow:
Before the intervention, workers’ whole responding rate of the related knowledge of hearing protection is only 45.7%. To adopt the protection of hearing behavior in the benefit factor is high, in the barrier one is moderate, and self- potency is permissible. The attitude with the present situation tends to positive, but they lack the immediate crisis of losing the hearing. Workers do not satisfy with the implementation of hearing protection plan in the factory at present situation. The support from the society is not high. Each protection of hearing behavior achieves "occasionally".
After the intervention, it can increase workers’ related knowledge of hearing protection, self efficiency, social support, working environmental support, benefits of hearing protection, and reduce the obstacles in implementing. Besides, it increases workers’ behavior of hearing protection.
By using the health promotion brochures by themselves, it can increase workers’ related knowledge of hearing protection, social support, and also can raise to select and adopt hearing protection behavior. However, it fails to increase their attitude of the hearing which is influenced by the noise, self efficiency, working environmental support, and also fails to raise to select and adopt the benefits of hearing protection; moreover, it also fails to reduce the obstacles.
More than 95% of workers from the experimental groups show the great satisfaction with the four activity themes. They give high praise for the way to show the activities and learn a lot from the activities. They also give high praise toward the health promotion brochures and the movie of hearing protection, and claim that they will conduct the hearing protection behavior according to the brochures.
As what has been shown above, in order to arouse the workers’ motivation and to gain the positive effects, it is important to plan a set of appropriate hearing protection plans, multiple intervention strategies, and fulfill the workers’ need and qualities. In order to gain the workers’ recognition and acceptance, we need to view them as subjects, reflect their opinions and thoughts in the development of the brochures. We suggest that the high-noise factories will use these health promotion brochures in the future, and carry hearing protection health education on the workers by this involvement pattern to increase the workers’ behavior of hearing protection.
