Many industrial workers lack awareness of preventive healthcare, particularly those with lower incomes and less education. Mass media is the primary source of health information, with trade unions playing no role in health education.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Public Health
  • Health Education

Background:

  • Preventive healthcare knowledge and practices are crucial for industrial workers' well-being.
  • Understanding these factors can inform targeted health interventions in industrial settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding preventive healthcare among industrial workers.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators to accessing and utilizing preventive health services.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving interviews with industrial workers and their family members at Durgapur Steel Plant.
  • Data collection focused on awareness, attitudes, and practices of preventive healthcare.

  • 7.98% of industrial workers demonstrated a lack of awareness regarding preventive healthcare aspects.
  • Illiteracy, rural origin, and low family income ( < Rs 1000/month) were associated with lower awareness.
  • Female children and later-born children were more neglected in healthcare.
  • Mass media was the primary source of health knowledge; trade unions were inactive in health education.
  • Immunization rates showed seasonal variations and dropouts, often due to parental negligence or absence.

Conclusions:

  • Significant gaps exist in preventive healthcare awareness among industrial workers.
  • Socioeconomic factors and child demographics influence healthcare neglect.
  • Health education strategies should leverage mass media and address parental factors to improve preventive healthcare uptake.
