北部地區都會原住民工作傷害之流行病學調查
本研究之目的在探討造成都會區原住民工作傷害型態的危險因子,而 所使用之方法係配合行政院衛生署巡迴醫療站的四個地區並結合行政 院原住民委員會所提供之台北縣及基隆市都會原住民名冊,以隨機抽 樣方法各抽出 200 位原住民實施調查,在 800 位隨機樣本中,探討 50 2 位收集到的都會原住民工作傷害之因素。
調查結果發現工作前無工作健檢、無接受職前訓練、無使用防護具、工作環境曝露物理性物質及濕度高等因素,在受到工作傷害中皆有達 到統計上顯著意義。多變項邏輯式迴歸分析中,男性比女性受傷勝算 比為 1.60 、離婚或鰥寡者比已婚者受傷勝算比為 2.53 、工作前無接 受職前訓練者比有接受職前訓練者受傷勝算比為 3.93 、沒有使用防護 具比有使用防護具受傷勝算比為 8.49 、環境曝露接觸物理性物質比接 觸化學物質受傷勝算比為 4.60 及濕度高比適宜的受傷勝算比為 2.43
,皆有達統計上顯著。
因此如何提供較好的防護具、提供完整的工作訓練、改善工作環境條 件等都是減少都會區原住民工作傷害的關鍵因素。Epidemiology in Occupational Injury among Northern Taiwan Urban Aborigines
The main purpose of the present thesis is to explore the critical factors causing injuries to urba n aborigines at work. The method applied to obtain the 502 questionaires used in this thesis, w as though a random selection of 800 samples in the aborigines directory provided by Council of Indigenous Peoples, Executive Yuan, derived from the 200 aborigines in each of the four re gions of Taipei Country and Keelung City who approached the Department of Health’s medic al assistance consultancies.

Multiple Logistic Regression Analysis showed: the odds ratio of male o ver female is 1.60, divorced/widow over married injured population is 2.53, non-provided wit h vocational training over taken vocational training is 3.93, unlikely use over proper use of pro tection devices is 8.49, exposed to environmental physical agents over chemical agents is 4.60 and injury resulting from high humidity environment over normal humidity is 2.43. The result s of the above-mentioned are of statistical significance.
