Tobacco is one of the crops using a lot of pesticides, especially organophosphate and carbamate pesticides. A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate knowledge, attitudes, and Practices (KAP) related to blood cholinesterase levels related to pesticide use among tobacco farmers. A questionnaire and a reactive-paper finger blood test were completed by 44 tobacco farmers. The results showed that most of the participants were females (75.0%) between 51 and 60 years old (54.5%). Almost 95.5% of respondents acknowledged that they should wear a mask while spraying and most of them read pesticide labels before use (93.2%). Most of the tobacco farmers had moderate level of knowledge and attitudes, 63.6% and 70.5%, respectively and good practice (84.1%). The prevalence of risky levels of blood cholinesterase among tobacco farmers in the study area was high. The study found a strongly significant association between level of knowledge and blood cholinesterase level (P < 0.001). Policy implementation and risk communication will be introduced to the community in order to develop a safety program. Government authorities should be provided with the appropriate recommendations regarding pesticide exposure of tobacco farmers in this area.

与泰国北部烟农血胆碱酯酶水平相关的知识,态度和实践(KAP)

烟草是使用大量农药的作物之一,尤其是有机磷酸盐和氨基甲酸酯农药。进行了一项横断面研究,以调查与烟农中与使用农药有关的血胆碱酯酶水平相关的知识,态度和实践(KAP)。44位烟农完成了调查问卷和活性纸手指血液测试。结果显示,大多数参与者为51岁至60岁(54.5%)之间的女性(75.0%)。几乎95.5%的受访者承认,他们在喷涂时应该戴口罩,并且大多数人在使用前都阅读过农药标签(93.2%)。大多数烟农的知识和态度水平中等,分别为63.6%和70.5%,并且良好习惯(84.1%)。在研究区域内,烟农中血液胆碱酯酶的风险水平较高。该研究发现知识水平与血胆碱酯酶水平之间存在极显着的相关性(P <0.001)。将向社区介绍政策实施和风险通报,以制定安全计划。应向政府当局提供有关该地区烟农接触农药的适当建议。
