The first purpose of this study was to compare the mean Knowledge Attitude & Practice(KAP) scores concerning major occupational Health between two types,, of occupational health management in small & medium-scale textile factories. Sample number was 1,138 workers. In small & medium factories with 300 workers or less, they have two alternatives for occupational health management ; Individual Health Management or Vicarious Health Management.
The second purpose was to determine if there was a relationship between duration of Vicarious health management and mean KAP scores for 694 workers from the Vicarious Health Management group.
We used self-administered questionnaires for measuring KAP. The results of this study were;
1. There was significant difference concerning all socioeconomic occupational variables (gender, age, education level, marital status, Blue/White collar, working duration of present factory, working duration of total factories) except for shift.
2. There was no significant difference of mean scores of Knowledge ´apd Attitude between the Individual Health Management Group and the Vicarious Health Management. But, the mean score of Practice was significantly different.
3. According to multiple regression analysis: the mean score of Knowledge significantly increased with age, education level, working duration of all factories increased.The mean score of Attitude significantly increased with age, education eve] and married. The mean score of Practice significantly increased with age, education level, working duration of all factories, married and men.
