Abstract

Background: Health is an integral form of human capital that can positively influence agricultural worker productivity in the physical, mental, and social domains. Poor health usually represents a burden to farm workers because a failure to meet scheduled tasks on the farm can later affect the dependents who rely on it for food nourishment and sustained livelihood. This study aims to determine the association between health and the work capabilities of smallholder rice farm workers in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, Philippines. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 100 farm workers. The SF-36 (HRQoL) and Work Ability Index (WAI) questionnaires were used to determine health status and work abilities of the respondents. The association of every health domain was investigated using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The results show that work ability was more associated with physical functioning and vitality scales compared to physical role limitations, bodily pain, general health perceptions, social functioning, emotional role limitations, and mental health in the health dimensions. Conclusion: Given the influence of health-related quality of life, any intervention program for the safeguarding and promotion of work ability among farmers should be based on balancing and optimizing the physical and psychosocial work environments.

Abstract

Nutrition and child health programs were integrated into the extension programs from 2016-2018 of the Occidental Mindoro State College, in partnership with the local government unit at the municipal and barangay levels. This paper presents the health extension tools and techniques used in preventative care and the promotion of child health services in the indigenous community of Sitio Bato Singit, in the Occidental Mindoro Province, Philippines. Health education, small group techniques, demonstrations, storytelling, informal talks, and open forums were the methods and techniques employed to implement the program. The common tools used were seating arrangements, flip-charting, props, social hours, and recreation. In terms of the evaluation of the program, child health outcomes remain poor, despite the efforts of the different blocks working within the health system. These programs could enhance their health knowledge and practices in other extension modalities.
