ABSTRACT

The present study aimed to design a model to reduce agricultural work injury among orchardists in Ilam Province, Iran. This was a qualitative research study that used grounded theory to analyze data. The study included 25 specialists, managers, and experts of horticulture in Ilam Province who were selected through purposive sampling. Field observations and interviews in the form of focus groups were used for collecting data. The results were extracted from the research data through the coding process (open, axial, and selective) in the form of concepts, subcategories, and categories using MAXqda12. The paradigm model included causal, contextual and intervening conditions, strategy, and consequences. The results indicated that several causal conditions can affect work injury in agriculture. These were identified as vulnerability level, personal characteristics of orchardists, subsistence level, general health, climatic conditions, and academic qualifications. Contextual conditions also included categories like trends, occupational safety and health principles, infrastructure, government support, and government incentives. Meanwhile, intervening conditions were identified as structural, educational-research factors, economic criteria, regulation and development of marketing horticultural and greenhouse products, type of exploitation system, and orchardists’ motivation. Finally, reducing agricultural work injuries among orchardists involved the multi-faceted identification of various aspects of production and education, along with technical, operational, executive, and supervisory management strategies. Reducing the number of agricultural work injuries among orchardists would lead to regional, economic, individual, and social benefits. The results helped researchers to identify what areas to address and mitigate safety issues of horticultural activities in Ilam.

摘要

本研究旨在设计一个模型，以减少伊朗伊拉姆省果园主的农业工伤。这是一项使用扎根理论分析数据的定性研究。该研究包括通过有目的抽样选择的伊拉姆省的 25 名园艺专家、管理人员和专家。以焦点小组的形式进行实地观察和访谈来收集数据。使用 MAXqda12 通过编码过程（开放、轴向和选择性）以概念、子类别和类别的形式从研究数据中提取结果。范式模型包括因果、上下文和干预条件、策略和后果。结果表明，有几个因果条件会影响农业中的工伤。这些被确定为漏洞级别，果园主的个人特征、生活水平、一般健康状况、气候条件和学历。背景条件还包括趋势、职业安全和健康原则、基础设施、政府支持和政府激励措施等类别。同时，干预条件被确定为结构、教育研究因素、经济标准、营销园艺和温室产品的监管和发展、开发系统的类型和果园主的动机。最后，减少果园工人的农业工伤涉及对生产和教育各个方面的多方面识别，以及技术、运营、执行和监督管理策略。减少果园工人的农业工伤数量将带来区域、经济、个人和社会效益。结果帮助研究人员确定了哪些领域需要解决和减轻伊拉姆园艺活动的安全问题。
