Brief Summary:
The study explores a multi-component heat strain prevention program for older agricultural workers in response to climate change It assesses hydration rest breaks reflective clothing and shade provision Utilizing a quasi-experimental design it targets 120 elderly workers evaluating core temperature heart rate and heat strain symptoms The goal is to establish the programs effectiveness in safeguarding worker health and safety amidst increasing temperatures offering evidence-based recommendations for this vulnerable group and potentially other occupations affected by climate change
Detailed Description:
This intervention study is designed to assess the efficacy of a sustainable heat strain prevention program tailored for elderly agricultural workers It targets a specific population of 120 workers aged 60 years and above from Manial Shiha village The study utilizes a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design dividing participants into intervention and control groups
The core of the study involves a 4-week Sustainable Prevention Program emphasizing practical and adoptable strategies like adequate hydration regular rest breaks the use of lightweight reflective clothing and the provision of portable shade covers This program is delivered through interactive methods including lectures demonstrations and group discussions supplemented with educational materials
Physiological responses to the program will be rigorously measured employing core temperature sensors and heart rate monitors to provide objective data on the physical impact of the interventions These measures along with self-reported symptoms and heat strain levels collected through structured questionnaires form the basis for a comprehensive evaluation of the programs effectiveness
The study aims to provide a quantifiable reduction in heat strain indicators offering insights into the programs potential for broader application in similar vulnerable populations
