Knowledge, attitudes, practices of occupational accident prevention and related factors among rice farmers in Northern Vietnam.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to assess rice farmers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding the prevention of occupational accidents, along with identifying related factors.
methodsAn analytic cross-sectional study was conducted in six rural communes in Thai Binh province, targeting rice farmers aged 18 and older. A structured KAP questionnaire on occupational accident prevention was developed and pilot-tested with 168 participants. Knowledge scores ranged from 0-20 (1 point per correct answer), attitudes from 9-45 (5-point Likert scale), and practices from 17-85 (5-point frequency scale). Higher scores indicated better outcomes. Tobit regression was used to examine factors influencing KAP, accounting for the bounded nature of these scores.
resultsAmong the 1,171 rice farmers surveyed, 17.5% had experienced an occupational accident in the six months prior to the study, most commonly involving cuts from sharp tools, falls during fieldwork, or injuries from handling machinery. The average knowledge score on accident prevention was 13.82 ± 4.58 points. The average attitude score regarding accident prevention was 34.47 ± 4.73 points, with the highest scores reflecting a strong emphasis on personal safety in rice farming. Conversely, the lowest scores were related to the perceived importance of seeking immediate medical aid after an accident. The average score for practices related to accident prevention was 63.63 ± 2.22 points. The study found that better KAPwere associated with a lower incidence of occupational accidents.
conclusionThis study highlights the need for comprehensive health education programs to enhance rice farmers' KAP in preventing occupational accidents, thereby reducing the risk and impact of such incidents in this population.
