Abstract

Climate change increases heat stress exposure and occupational heat strain in tropical and subtropical regions with generally hot-humid climate conditions. The present systematic review was conducted to assess the effect of climate change on occupational heat strain among women workers. In this study, three main databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched to find relevant literature on climate change and its effects using subject headings and appropriate MeSh terms. This article has been written according to the PRISMA checklist. A total of 6,176 studies were identified for screening and 13 studies were eligible for data extraction. Scientific evidence reveals that there is an imprecise but positive relationship between climate change and occupational heat strain regarding women workers. Some complications associated with occupational heat strain among women workers include fatigue, discomfort, dehydration, reduced brain function, and loss of concentration. Climate change can lead to an increase in the occurrence of heat-related illnesses and the levels of injury risk. In addition, its adverse health effects on women workers are mentioned. This systematic study identifies key priorities for action to better characterize and understand how occupational heat strain among women workers may be associated with climate change events. Strong evidence indicates that climate change will continue to cause occupational heat strain among women workers. It is essential to implement preventive measures considering multidisciplinary strategies to reduce the adverse effects of climate change on women workers health in hot weather settings. This can limit the health risks and negative effects of climate change.

气候变化与女工的职业热应激:系统回顾。
气候变化增加了热带和亚热带地区的热应激暴露和职业热负荷,这些地区的气候条件普遍炎热潮湿。本系统综述旨在评估气候变化对女工职业热负荷的影响。本研究使用主题词和适当的 MeSh 词搜索了三个主要数据库(PubMed、Scopus 和 Web of Science),以查找有关气候变化及其影响的相关文献。本文根据 PRISMA 清单撰写。共筛选出 6176 项研究,其中 13 项研究符合数据提取条件。科学证据表明,气候变化与女工的职业热应激之间存在着不精确但积极的关系。与女工职业热应激相关的一些并发症包括疲劳、不适、脱水、大脑功能减退和注意力不集中。气候变化会导致与高温有关的疾病发生率和受伤风险水平上升。此外,还提到了气候变化对女工健康的不利影响。这项系统性研究确定了行动的关键优先事项,以更好地描述和了解女工的职业热应激如何可能与气候变化事件相关联。大量证据表明,气候变化将继续造成女工的职业性高温疲劳。必须采取预防措施,考虑多学科战略,减少气候变化对高温环境下女工健康的不利影响。这可以限制气候变化带来的健康风险和负面影响。
