Abstract:

Objective To analyze the current situation and influencing factors of occupational health literacy of fire rescue personnel in Shenzhen City,and evaluate the effect after the implementation of intervention. Methods A questionnaire survey on occupational health literacy was conducted among front-line fire rescue personnel in Shenzhen City from June to August 2023. The possession rate of occupational health literacy was calculated. The χ2 test and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to analyze the influencing factors. Subsequently,497 people were stratified and selected in clusters from the population who participated in the first survey. The short-term intervention was implemented from September to November 2023,and the changes in their literacy possession rate before and after the intervention were compared. Results The possession rate of occupational health literacy among the survey subjects was 72.17%,and the possession rates of each dimension were 41.05% for knowledge,88.10% for attitude,82.78% for behavior,and 19.25% for skills. The higher age(25-<28,28-<33,≥33 years old),higher education level(high school and technical secondary school,junior college,undergraduate and above),never drinking alcohol and persisting in exercise were protective factors for the possession rate of occupational health literacy. After the intervention,the possession rates of occupational health literacy were 71.49% and 80.45% respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusions The possession rate of occupational health skills and knowledge literacy among the surveyed subjects is relatively low. The age groups,educational levels,and personal living habits(drinking conditions,exercise conditions) are the influencing factors of their occupational health literacy. The emphasis should be placed on occupational health education for people with lower age and educational level and poorer personal living habits(such as alcohol consumption and exercise). The short-term intervention can effectively increase the possession rate of occupational health literacy among fire rescue personnel.
