Abstract

Bu
çalışmanın amacı, çiftçilerin bitki
koruyucu ürünleri (BKÜ) ve kişisel koruyucu ekipman (KKE) kullanımı hakkındaki
bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını incelemektir. Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma,
Türkiye’nin Güney Marmara Bölgesi’nde yer alan Çanakkale’nin Ezine İlçesi’nde
bir köyde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anket yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile
uygulanmıştır. Araştırmaya dahil olabilme kriterleri; gönüllü olma, 18 yaş ve üzerinde
olma, aktif olarak çiftçilikle uğraşma veya daha önce çiftçilikle aktif olarak uğraşmış
olma olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada 194 kişi ile görüşme yapılmıştır. 184
kişinin verileri istatistiksel analize dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmada, çiftçilerin
BKÜ’lerin zararlı etkilerini bildiği, ancak yeterli düzeyde KKE kullanmadığı
belirlenmiştir. On bir soru ile BKÜ kullanımı davranış toplam puanı elde
edilmiştir. İleri analizlerde,BKÜ kullanımı davranış toplam puanının,
hayvancılık yapmamak, BKÜ’lerin zararlı etkilerini bilmek ve son bir yıl
içindeBKÜ’leri kullandıktan sonra bir rahatsızlık yaşamamak ile arttığı
belirlenmiştir. İnsan ve çevre sağlığını korumak için, çiftçilere güvenli kişisel
koruyucu kullanımı ve BKÜ uygulamaları konusunda multidisipliner eğitimler
verilmeli ve çiftçilerin bilgi düzeyleri, tutum ve davranışları
geliştirilmelidir. Çiftçi sağlığı ve güvenliğini düzenli olarak izlemek yararlı
olabilir.

Plant Protection Products and Personal Protective Use Information, Attitude, Behavior of Turkish Farmers

Abstract

The aim of this work is to examine the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of farmers about the use of plant protective products (PPPs) and personal protective equipment (PPE). This descriptive study was conducted in a village located in Çanakkale Ezine town, Marmara region of southern Turkey. The questionnaire was applied by face to face interview method. Criteria for inclusion in the research were determined as voluntary participation, being 18 years old or older and actively farming or previous active farming experience. 194 people were interviewed in the study. The data of 184 subjects were included in statistical analysis. By the study it was concluded that farmers knew the harmful effects of PPPs, but did not use adequate PPE. Total score data of PPPs behaviour were obtained from 11 questions. In further analysis, it was determined that total score data of PPPs behaviour increased with not doing livestock, knowing the harmful effects of PPPs and not experiencing discomfort after using PPPs in the last year. In order to protect human and environmental health should be undertaken multidisciplinary training on farmer-safe personal protective use and PPPs applications and the level of knowledge, attitude and behavior of farmers should be improved. Periodic monitoring of farmer health and safety may be useful.
