Abstract
Background: Offshore platform employees in the Gulf of Thailand are considered a high-risk group for various health threats. Promoting healthy behaviors among these workers is crucial for maintaining optimal job performance, benefiting both employees and the organization.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine health-promoting behaviors and the factors that predict them among offshore platform employees in the Gulf of Thailand.
Methods: A predictive correlational research design was used. The sample consisted of 154 offshore platform employees selected through proportional stratified random sampling. The research instruments included questionnaires on personal information, working conditions, organizational support, job stress, perceived benefits of action, perceived barriers to action, self-efficacy, and health-promoting behaviors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.
Results: Overall, the participants demonstrated a very good level of health-promoting behaviors (M=2.42, SD=0.22). The job position was a statistically significant predictor of health-promoting behaviors (β=-0.202, p=.046), explaining 9.7% of the variance (R²=.097, F=1.151, p<.001).
Conclusion: Health-promoting behaviors among offshore platform employees in the Gulf of Thailand can be enhanced by using job position as a key criterion for targeting the appropriate group. This approach enables platform nurses and organizations to design appropriate health promotion activities that align with the limitations and needs of each job position.
