Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Cosmetic products may contain ingredients whose safety is not certain with several instances of death and anaphylaxis due to service/cosmetic usage in beauty salons. With the mushrooming of beauty salons and with a large consumer base, there is a dearth in the literature to assess the awareness of the health hazards among the employees. This study aims to measure the awareness levels on health hazards and their emergency management among employees working in beauty salons in Coimbatore.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study using a semi-structured questionnaire, after Institutional Human Ethics Committee (IHEC) approval, was conducted*** to assess the awareness of the health hazards including emergency management among employees of beauty salons. The sample size was estimated to be 160. All the workers working in unisex beauty salons, selected by convenience sampling within 5 km radius of PSG IMS and R, were assessed based on their awareness toward cosmetics and the data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24 (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 24.0. Armonk, NY).
UNASSIGNED: Around 160 service providers of beauty salons participated in the study, among which 84% use several cosmetic products. Only 40% are aware of the health impacts and 21.3% are aware about the side effects which included rashes and itching associated with the products used for bleaching. Only 36.9% knew about the regulations for usage of cosmetic products and 30% knew that there is a governing body for the same.
UNASSIGNED: Awareness of health hazards and its emergency management is less among the workers; the literacy programs to improve the awareness on use of cosmetics is the need of the hour.
摘要:
化妆品可能含有安全性不确定的成分,因为美容院的服务/化妆品使用导致死亡和过敏反应。随着美容院的蓬勃发展和庞大的消费者基础,文献中缺乏评估员工对健康危害的认识。这项研究旨在衡量在哥印拜陀美容院工作的员工对健康危害及其应急管理的认识水平。
一项使用半结构化问卷的横断面研究,在机构人类伦理委员会(IHEC)批准后,进行***评估美容院员工对健康危害的认识,包括应急管理。样本量估计为160。所有在男女通用美容院工作的工人,通过PSGIMS和R半径5公里范围内的方便采样选择,根据他们对化妆品的认识进行评估,并使用SPSS软件版本24(IBMSPSSStatisticsforWindows,版本24.0。Armonk,NY).
约160家美容院服务商参与了这项研究,其中84%的人使用几种化妆品。只有40%的人知道健康影响,21.3%的人知道副作用,包括与用于漂白的产品相关的皮疹和瘙痒。只有36.9%的人知道化妆品的使用规定,30%的人知道有一个管理机构。
工人对健康危害及其应急管理的认识较少;提高对化妆品使用意识的扫盲计划是小时的需要。
