摘要

目標：本研究針對嫘縈絲製造廠暴露到二硫化碳的勞工，以勞工自我認知的健康狀況與實際醫事檢查結果比較，探討其差距。方法：本研究於2000年間為嫘縈絲廠員工做健康檢查，並做問卷訪談自我認知健康狀況，再和勞工1998年度及2000年健康檢查結果比較。結果：這次健康檢查的員工中有103人(66.5%)有高血壓，但只有26人(25.2%)自知，心電圖檢查結果異常的34人(21.9%)中，但只有2人在訪視時表示知道，受訪者大多數不認為自己有高膽固醇及高三酸甘油酯的比率亦偏高。不過有86.3%的聽力損失者知道自己的聽力障礙。結論：勞工疾病預防，應該加強勞資雙方的職業安全衛生教育，強化檢查結果的追蹤機制。

Objective: This study examined the gap between health examination results and the selfreported health status among workers who were exposed to carbon disulfide in viscose rayon industry. Methods: Health status in the insurance records of 1998 and the year 2000 annual examinations were extracted and compared with the self-reported health status in questionnaires. Results: The year 2000 health examination results showed that among 103 workers (66.5%) with hypertension, only 26 persons (25.2%) were aware of their hypertensive status. Two workers (4. 8%) reported having had ECG abnormalities among 34 workers with ECG abnormalities found in the examination. Low proportions of workers were also aware that they had elevated cholesterol and/or triglyceride. However, 86.3% of those who had hearing loss were aware of their difficulties in hearing. Conclusion: This study suggests that a mechanism should be established to inform employees of their health examination results. Both employers and employees in industries need health education on worker’s occupational safety and disease prevention.
