  1. Work ability among male bus drivers in Bangkok, Thailand Orawan KAEWBOONCHOO, Sumlee SALEEKUL, Mattana TOMPUDSA

  2. Study Area

  3. Heavy Traffic

  4. Passenger High Demand

  5. Air condition Bus

  6. Old type of Air Condition Bus

  7. Non-Air Condition Bus

  8. Objective The aim of this study was to explore the factors related to work ability among bus drivers.

  9. Research Methodology Research design: Cross sectional study Subjects: 523 male Bus drivers : aged 25 to 60 yrs, M=44.9± 7.5 : work experience 1 to 30 yrs, M= 13.1 ± 7.8

  10. DataCollection

  11. Interview: Personal factors, working conditions, health behaviors, Psychosocial factors, mental health andWAI

  12. Blood Pressure , Body Weight and Body Height Measurement

  13. Statistical analysis • Descriptive statistic; means, standard deviation and percentages • Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to examine the association among study variables. • A multiple regression analyses (forward stepwise) was used to determine the significant and independent correlates of WAI. • The statistically significant criterion was set at p < 0.05.

  17. Mean of work ability index in each age group among bus drivers

  18. Pearson’s correlation coefficients among study variables 1. Age 2.BMI 3.SBP 4.DBP 5.Depression 6.Anxiety 7.Somatic symptoms 8.Social dysfunction 9.Work demand 10. Job control 11.Social Support 12.Smoking 13.Alcohol drinking 14.Exercise 15.WAI *P<0.05, **P<0.01

  19. Factors associated with WAI for bus drivers in stepwise multiple regression analysis.

  20. Conclusion These results strongly suggest that - WAI is a good instrument for stress and mental health surveillance in bus drivers. - Health promotion in bus drivers should address working conditions and individual lifestyle to reduce stress at work and improve work ability.
