Construction Material Production Workers, Health Belief Model, Health Promotion Program, Work-Related AccidentsAbstract
This quasi-experimental study with a single group pre-test and post-test design aimed to examine the effectiveness of a health promotion program based on the Health Belief Model in enhancing prevention behavior of work-related accidents among construction material production workers. A purposive sample of 40 participants was selected for the study. The research instruments consisted of two parts: (1) the health promotion program based on the Health Belief Model for prevention of work-related accidents, and (2) a questionnaire for assessing prevention behavior of work-related accidents according to the Health Belief Model, which was validated for content validity by three experts. The questionnaire demonstrated a Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient ranging from 0.76 to 0.99. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, including paired t-tests and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.
The results indicated that after the program implementation, the scores of perceived susceptibility of work-related accidents, perceived benefits or barriers to prevention behavior of work-related accidents, and prevention behavior of work-related accidents were higher that before the program implementation with statistical significance at 0.05 (p < 0.05). This indicates that the health promotion program based on the Health Belief Model for prevention of work-related accidents is effective in fostering safer work behaviors, which contribute to the prevention of work-related accidents.
