Knowledge, attitudes, practices of occupational accident prevention and related factors among rice farmers in Northern Vietnam.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to assess rice farmers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding the prevention of occupational accidents, along with identifying related factors.

Methods

An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted in six rural communes in Thai Binh province, targeting rice farmers aged 18 and older. A structured KAP questionnaire on occupational accident prevention was developed and pilot-tested with 168 participants. Knowledge scores ranged from 0-20 (1 point per correct answer), attitudes from 9-45 (5-point Likert scale), and practices from 17-85 (5-point frequency scale). Higher scores indicated better outcomes. Tobit regression was used to examine factors influencing KAP, accounting for the bounded nature of these scores.
