| Abstract |
A conceptual Health Promotion Model was used to identify predictors of hearing protection use among 504 manufacturing workers. In general, the workers reported using hearing protection more than two-thirds of the time they were required to do so; about 40% reported using it all the time and about 10% reported never using it. The strongest predictors of use were self-efficacy, perceived benefits, perceived value and barriers to use. Items in the barriers scale were most strongly correlated with use and had the greatest potential for change. These factors may therefore be used as the basis of a training intervention programme. |
