Abstract

Background: Sustainable development goals (SDGs) 3.9.1 and 11.6.2 call for a reduction in deaths and illnesses from air pollution, improving the air quality of cities. The above goals motivate us to organize workshops to improve the health of traffic police, who bear the brunt of air pollution. The paper examines the effect of workshops on the health-seeking behavior of the traffic police in Bhubaneswar city.

Methods: The study conducted two workshops as a quasi-experimental, single-group study at an academic institution in Bhubaneswar. It included 20 traffic police officers (11 male and 9 female). The Kirkpatrick 4-level model was used to assess the effectiveness of the workshops. A paired t-test was used to compare pre- and postworkshop scores.

Results: Thirteen traffic police officers rated the workshop sessions as excellent. The score before the workshop ranged from zero to three, with a mean (standard deviation [SD]) of 2.81 (1.0). The postworkshop score had a minimum to maximum score of three to five with a mean (SD) of 4.41 (0.7) (P < 0.005). The effect size dcohen (confidence interval [CI]) was 1.87 (3.27-4.71). The mean (SD) of absolute and relative gain was 1.6 (1.0) and 0.93 (1.02), respectively. All 20 traffic police officers showed improvement in health-seeking behavior. The significant lifestyle changes after the workshops ranged between 5% and 75%.

Conclusion: The test scores indicated statistically significant improvement as the P value recorded was smaller than 0.05. This concludes that the improvement in understanding of the session was statistically significant because of the training imparted.

医疗保健管理讲习班对布巴内斯瓦尔交通警察寻求健康行为的影响。
背景:可持续发展目标(SDGs)3.9.1 和 11.6.2 要求减少空气污染造成的死亡和疾病,改善城市空气质量。上述目标促使我们组织研讨会,以改善首当其冲受到空气污染影响的交通警察的健康状况。本文探讨了研讨会对布巴内斯瓦尔市交通警察寻求健康行为的影响:本研究在布巴内斯瓦尔的一家学术机构举办了两期讲习班,作为一项准实验性的单组研究。参加者包括 20 名交通警察(11 名男性和 9 名女性)。采用柯克帕特里克 4 级模型评估讲习班的效果。采用配对 t 检验比较研修班前后的得分:结果:13 名交警将研修班评为 "优秀"。工作坊前的得分从 0 到 3 分不等,平均分(标准差 [SD])为 2.81(1.0)。工作坊后的评分从最低到最高分为 3 到 5 分,平均值(标准差[SD])为 4.41(0.7)(P < 0.005)。效果大小 dcohen(置信区间 [CI])为 1.87(3.27-4.71)。绝对增益和相对增益的平均值(标度)分别为 1.6 (1.0) 和 0.93 (1.02)。所有 20 名交通警察在寻求健康的行为方面都有所改善。工作坊结束后,生活方式的明显改变在 5%到 75%之间:测试结果表明,由于所记录的 P 值小于 0.05,因此在统计上有明显改善。结论:测试结果表明,由于所记录的 P 值小于 0.05,因此在统计意义上,对培训课程的理解有了明显的提高。
