Occupational Hazards And Health: A Comparative Study Among Medical Laboratory Technicians
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
This descriptive research has been undertaken to examine and differentiate impact of occupational hazards on health of medical laboratory technicians and also to understand and differentiate their extent of perception toward impact of occupational hazards on health. The study has sampled 120 medical laboratory technicians (60 from private multi speciality hospitals and 60 from private diagnostic centres) in Tirunelveli city, Tamilnadu by simple random sampling after stratified the subject into medical laboratory technicians working in private multi speciality hospitals and diagnostic centres using stratified random sampling. The study has examined and differentiated 24 factors to understand the effect of occupational hazards on health. The primary data have been collected using questionnaire method. The secondary data have been collected from books, journals, and websites. Both mean and standard deviation have been administered to analyse the data. The result of the study has shown that among 24 health related factors, 14 factors have equally been experienced by medical laboratory technicians working in both kinds of organizations and 10 factors have highly been perceived by medical laboratory technicians working in hospitals than diagnostic centres. The extent of perception of the respondents towards these factors has been at medium level.
