The study design was a cross-sectional study; subjects were 348 spa therapists from Bangkok and its vicinity. The data were collected by questionnaires, adapted from Nordic Occupational Skin Questionnaire. Individual subjects were examined their hands by the investigator, and were photographed for their skin lesions of hand dermatitis, then verified by the dermatologist. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (Pearson Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test and multiple logistic regression). The results showed that prevalence of hand dermatitis was 14.4%. Statistically significant factors associated with hand dermatitis (p-value<0.05) were an individual who has history of atopic dermatitis (Adj. OR 10.01, p-value<0.001) or who uses aromatherapy products containing either lavender (Adj. OR 2.18, p-value=0.026) or eucalyptus (Adj. OR 2.05, p-value=0.038). Other factors, environmental and hobby or domestic work, were not associated with hand dermatitis. In conclusion, hand dermatitis should be observed and monitored in people at risk, including those who have history of atopic dermatitis. The knowledge about hand dermatitis should be provided including the awareness about aromatherapy products containing either lavender or eucalyptus and how to look after themselves after exposure to such products.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Preventive Medicine Association of Thailand}, author={ตั้งยศฐากิจกุล สายพิรุณต์ and สิทธิศรัณย์กุล พรชัย and สัจจเจริญพงษ์ ประณีต and กรัษนัยรวิวงค์ ธเรศ}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={1–12} }
