Abstract

A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 297 coal mine workers at Phan Mễ, Thai Nguyen from July 2024 to December 2024. This study aims to analyze factors related to respiratory function of coal mine workers at Phan Me, Thai Nguyen in 2024. The results of multivariate logistic regression showed the following associated factors: exposure to a working environment with silica dust concentrations exceeding the permissible limit (aOR = 2.66; p < 0.05) and poor respiratory disease prevention practices (aOR = 12.72; p < 0.001). Consequently, it is necessary to improve the knowledge and behaviors related to respiratory disease prevention, as well as improve the working environment, particularly by reducing the concentration of silica dust in the workplace of coal miners at Phan Me, Thai Nguyen.
