ABSTRACT

To understand the epidemiological characteristics of agricultural injuries among rural residents in Hainan Province and to providing a solid and scientific foundation for the prevention and control of agricultural injuries in Hainan Province and further in-depth research. Among the 5 counties selected for the baseline survey, 2 counties were randomly chosen for a one-year follow-up survey utilizing a self-designed injury questionnaire administered to the personnel included in the baseline survey, with follow-ups conducted monthly. EpiData 3.1 was used for double entry of the data, and the data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0 after cleaning. Descriptive analysis methods were used for the follow-up data on agricultural injuries. The combined valid follow-up cases in this study were 587, with 238 people experiencing agricultural injuries. The most agricultural injuries occurred in July, with 35 people, accounting for 22.7%. The most common type of injury was lacerations (42.4%), with the vast majority (92.6%) of agricultural injuries occurring in the fields or greenhouses. 193 people (81.1%) were injured while working in the fields, and the most common injured body part was the upper limb (42.0%). Among the 154 people who were injured, 150 (63.0%) had fully recovered, and the majority (62.1%) chose outpatient treatment after being injured. Agricultural injuries have become an important factor affecting the quality of life of rural residents in Hainan Province and have also caused certain economic losses to families, requiring further effective intervention measures for control.
