The Effect on Workers' Knowledge, Attitudes and Behavior of a Group Health Care Program for Small‐Sized Plants in Pusan, Korea

The Effect on Workers' Knowledge, Attitudes and Behavior of a Group Health Care Program for Small Sized Plants in Pusan, Korea: Hae‐Sook Sohn, et al. Department of Preventive Medicine, Medical College, Inje University—To investigate the effect of a group health care program by observing differences in knowledge, attitudes and behavior (K, A and B) regarding occupational health services, a cross sectional survey of 201 workers served under a Group Health Care Program (GHCP) was carried out from November, 1995 to January, 1996. The K, A and B of workers were assessed by questionnaires about occupational health services. Subjects were divided to two groups according to the duration they had been served with group health care (Group I: <1 year, Group II: > = 3 years). K, A and B were compared in the two groups. All measures of K, A and B related to occupational health services, except satisfaction with the GHCP, were higher in Group II than in Group I. Group II was significantly higher in K, A and B (P<0.01) about personal protective equipment. This study confirmed that workers' K, A and B were positively influenced by the GHCP. The fact that the percentages of workers wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) and of proper use of PPE in Group II were significantly higher indicates that GHCP may be effective in the prevention of some aspects of occupation‐related diseases.
