Abstract

Objectives: This study examined the reproductive health status and the work-related factors of female hairdressers. Methods: This study conducted by structured questionnaire from April 21th to May 20th. The study population of 316 were female hairdressers aged 15 to 60 years in Seoul. This study analysed the influencing factors, health related factors and work related factors on reproductive health using chi-square and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: 1. The 81.7% of the subjects aged under 29 years have unhealthy behaviors. The 47% of hairdressers experienced smoking. Among the total, 37% of them answered they are smoking at present. Those results reveal their working conditions were very stressful to cope as young females. 2. The use of hair dyes(OR=2.89, 95%CI:1.17-7.12), counteractive solutions(OR=3.20, 95%CI:1.04-9.83) and not wearing protective gloves(OR=2.81, 95%CI:1.11-7.12) are significantly associated with menstrual pains. 3. The hairdressers not using perm liquids were three times as likely to report regular menstruation compared with the hairdressers using perm liquids. Wearing protective gloves also was associated with regular menstruation. Conclusion: This study revealed various risky working conditions of hairdressers was associated with their reproductive health. This study suggests that we should pay more attention to the protective working conditions for reproductive health. More comprehensive health management program including reproductive health for female hairdressers is required as well.
