THE EFFECT OF SELF-EFFICACY PROMOTING PROGRAM ON CHANGING WORKPLACE SELF-PROTECTIVE BEHAVIORS AMONG BRICK WORKERS IN THATPHANOM DISTRICT, NAKHONPHANOM PROVINCE
Keywords:
self-efficacy perception, lung capacity, self-protectionAbstract
This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effect of self-efficacy promoting program on changing workplace self-protective behaviors among brick workers in Thatphanom district, Nakhonphanom province. 43 brick workers participated in this study through purposive sampling. The research tools consisted of the perceived self-efficacy promoting program, the handbook of health knowledge, the guidelines for personal protective equipment and breathing exercise, and the video providing and demonstrating breathing exercise and the handbook on personal protective equipment selection and use. The study periods were 12 weeks. Data were collected by interview questionnaire. Spirometry was used to evaluate the lung function capacity included forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). The data were analyzed in terms of percentage and paired sample t-test. The results found that the mean score on the post-test of the working knowledge, the perceived self-efficacy promoting program on workplace self-protective behaviors and self-protecting behavior while working, and the mean score on the post-test of FVC and FEV1 were statistically significant (p<0.01).
