Assessing Lung Function Test Behaviours in Petrochemical Workers: Safety Performance and Influencing Factors via Anderson Model
Abstract: In this study, Anderson Behavioural Model is used to investigate factors influencing LFT and measure Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) in petrochemical workers. Factors affecting participation in PFT were assessed with a questionnaire based on Anderson's Behavioural Model. A multi-stage sampling approach was employed to account for geography and workforce distribution to ensure a comprehensive representation of the petrochemical plants. This paper aims to add to the understanding of workplace health issues. Schooling level (college/university and above, OR = 0.142, P = 0.0034), and affordability of medical care, (OR = 0.348, P = 0.003) significantly influenced participation among 300 workers. Other important variables were self-care (OR = 4.92, P = 0.0005) daily activity (OR = 7.68, P = 0.0002), pain/distress (OR = 0.487, P = 0.003), concern/depression (OR = 14.40, P
