[Study of social acceptance of periodic examinations by machine industry workers].

Abstract:

:Social acceptance of periodical examinations was evaluated via a survey conducted among a group of 530 machine industry workers. A questionnaire for prophylactic examinations was used which was worked out at the Department of Epidemiology and Statistics of the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine in Lódź, with additional questions concerning the level of acceptance of a new medical examination mode. In order to determine the letter the subject area was limited to elicit an answer to a question whether a new examination instrument at a periodical check-up meets the needs of the workers. The paper discusses the method of the study, characteristics of the population examined, including age, occupational exposure and work strenuousness. The findings revealed that 96.8% of subjects had accepted the new mode of periodical examinations which allows a conclusion that the method satisfies the workers' expectations as they find it suitable for managing their health problems. It is suggested that the form of periodical examinations should be modified since those presently applied do not facilitate early diagnosis or comprehensive evaluation of workers' health conditions.
