Abstract
orkers spend up to 50% of their working lives at work;
there for the workplace provide a captive audience for
the promotion of health and wellness. Despite improvement s in
occupational safety and health over the last several decades,
workers continue to suffer work-related deaths, injuries and
illnesses (Guzik, 2013).
Training is one of the most important tasks to be carried
out by employers, Workers need to know not only how to do
their jobs, but also how to protect their lives and health and
those of their co-workers while working. Prevention of
workplace accidents and injuries is the aim of an effective
occupational health and safety (OH&S) program. Having a safe
work environment where prevention is the key to an
organization’s success is important to all workplace parties—
employers, workers including supervisors and managers
(OSHA, 2015).
Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine
the impact of occupational health nursing program directed to
petroleum workers about occupational health management in
petroleum sector in Suez governorate
Aim of the study:
Aim of This study was to provide an occupational health
nursing for workers in petroleum field, through:

Summary

1. Identifying workers’ knowledge about occupational health
management.
2. Analyzing workers’ performance towards occupational
health management.
3. Designing and implementing an occupational health nursing
management program.
4. Evaluating the effect of occupational health nursing program
Research hypothesis:
Occupational health nursing program will improve the
workers’ knowledge and performance about preventing,
protecting, and treating the occupational hazards.
Research design:
A Quasi-experimental study was carried out in Suez
Petroleum Company and Nasr Petroleum Company in Suez
governorate
Technical design:
Setting:
In Suez governorate in Suez petroleum company and
Nasr petroleum company
Sampling:
The sample included a convenience sample of 191
petroleum workers selected from technical workers in both
setting. Study conducted between October 2014 and May 2015.
Summary

Subject Criteria: technical workers in morning shift
only.
Technique: produce the program for each one, then after
finishing the program The level of workers knowledge and
practices related to occupational health and safety measures
were assessed before, after and 3 months after the training
program to ascertain its impact and acquisition of workers
knowledge and practices.
The actual time for implementation of the program took
a period of 8 months, including one month for pilot study, 5
months for program implementation (pre-test, theoretical and
skill session and immediate post-test) and 2 months for followup
test of the program to test retention of knowledge.
Tools of data collection:
Three tools were used for data collection:
Tools for Data Collection:
Data were collected by the researcher using three tools.
First; interviewing questionnaire sheet to assess the workers
knowledge regarding occupational health and safety
management. Second, the workplace assessment sheet to assess
occupational health and safety measures at workplace. The 3rd
tool is an observational checklist to assess practices related to
CPR, first aid of wound and bleeding, shock, fractures and

burn. All tools were used pre, immediate post and after 3
months of program implementation to assess the improvement
and acquisition of studied workers knowledge and practices.
The results of the present study could be summarized as
follows:
The study sample age ranged between 24-60 years, with
mean age (mean± SD= 32.2 ± 4.7). More than half of them
had a technical education and all of them had pre placement
medical
Revealed that 65% of study setting were unsafe and 35%
were safe there were statistical significance differences in
safety in both companies that Nasr 80.8% safer than Suez
company 18.2%.
There were satisfactory knowledge and practice in relation
to occupational health and its management among the
studied petroleum worker before intervention of the
program. However, there was significant improvement in
knowledge and practice of all studied petroleum workers
after implementation of the program.
The workers had satisfactory knowledge about role of
occupational nurse pre program implementation 37.2% at
Al-Nasr Company changed to 99.5% post program and
88.8% at follow up. Also the workers at Suez Company had
satisfactory knowledge reported 36.1% pre test changed to
97.2 post test and82.8% at follow up.
Summary
159
The difference of workers satisfactory knowledge between
pre, post-and follow-up tests program regarding first aid
were highly statistically significant (P<0.001) at Al-Nasr
company. Also it shows that, all the differences between
pre, post and follow-up tests of the program in the area of
total knowledge of first aid, were highly statistically
significant (P<0.001) at Suez company.
the difference between pre, post and follow-up of the
intervention program regarding workers knowledge of first
aid, and first aid measures and total of knowledge were
highly statistically significant (P<0.001).
there were statistically significances in relation between
total correct knowledge score level about safety measures
and socio-demographic characteristics with (P > 0.05) in
which statically significant difference were detected by age
and years of experience.
There was no statistically significant relations between
workers’ age and knowledge of first aid, first aid measures.
There were statistically significant relations between
petroleum worker practice of first aid of fracture in post-test,
in addition to CPR and first aid of bleeding in follow-uptest.
There were statistically significant relations between
workers education and CPR in all tests.. In addition; there
were statistically significant relations between workers

education and first aid of fractures in post-test and with
bleeding in follow-up-test.
That, there were no statistically significant relations between
workers experience and their knowledge in pre, post &
follow up program.
The findings of this study highlight the following
recommendations:
Participation of workers in planning for health and safety
program.
Effective health and safety training using simulation
methods to improve workers knowledge related to
occupational health and safety.
Further studies are needed based on Egyptian realties of
occupational health programs focusing on workers
knowledge improvement and active participation.
Work administrations should keep all accident reports and
make use of them in risk analysis and avoid causes of
accidents.
Health and safety recording filling system should be
comprehensive and updated.
Improve of work environment specially modernizing
machines in the setting to prevent accident and occupational
injuries.
Summary
161
Maximizing roles of recruited nurses in site for better health
and safety planning, monitoring and outcome of workers.
Activate application of occupational health nursing role in
the petroleum workplace
