摘要

背景:在全球范围内,工作严重影响着工人的健康,噪声引起的听力损失(NIHL)日益成为一个主要的公共卫生问题。目的:本研究调查了尼日利亚西北部索科托州当地碾米厂工人中噪声诱发听力损伤的患病率和预测因素。材料和方法:这项横断面研究于 2019 年 6 月至 2019 年 7 月期间在碾米厂工人中进行。采用多阶段抽样技术选取参与者,并使用预先测试的访谈者管理问卷进行数据收集。数据使用 IBM® 社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)22 版进行分析,结果以表格和数字形式呈现。使用卡方检验(Chi-square test)和二元逻辑回归(binary logistic regression)对相关性进行统计检验,显著性水平设定为 P <0.05。结果碾米厂的噪音水平在 81.8 dBA 至 91.7 dBA 之间,平均值为 86.7 ± 2.3 dBA。在 398 名受访者中,有 185 名受访者(46.5%)至少有一种听力损失症状,其中以耳鸣(145 人,占 36.4%)最为普遍。约三分之一的 125 名受访者(32.5%)至少有一只耳朵在测听时出现听力损伤。预测听力受损的因素包括吸烟、教育程度和听力损失症状。结论尼日利亚西北部索科托州的碾米厂工人因噪音导致听力受损的比例很高;因此,政府和碾米厂主都需要启动戒烟计划,推广使用个人防护设备,并紧急实施听力保护计划,以解决这一问题。

Burden of noise-induced hearing loss among rice mill workers in Sokoto State, Northwest Nigeria
Context: Work heavily impacts workers' health globally, with noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) increasingly becoming a major public health concern. Aim: This study accessed the prevalence and predictors of noise-induced hearing impairment among local rice mill workers in Sokoto State, Northwest Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among rice mill workers between June 2019 and July 2019. Participants were selected using a multistage sampling technique, and a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using IBM® Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22, and the results were presented in tables and figures. Statistical tests of associations were conducted using the Chi-square test and binary logistic regression with a significance level set at P < 0.05. Results: The noise level in the rice mills ranged from 81.8 dBA to 91.7 dBA, with a mean of 86.7 ± 2.3 dBA. A hundred and eighty-five respondents (46.5%) of the 398 respondents had at least a symptom of hearing loss, with tinnitus (145 (36.4%)) being the most prevalent. About a third of 125 (32.5%) had hearing impairment in at least one of the ears on audiometry. The predictors of hearing impairment on audiometry were cigarette smoking, education, and having symptoms of hearing loss. Conclusion: The burden of noise-induced hearing impairment is high among rice mill workers in Sokoto State, Northwest Nigeria; hence, both the government and rice mill owners need to initiate smoking cessation programs, promote the use of personal protective equipment, and urgently implement hearing conservation programs to address the problem.
