碩士 / 高雄醫學大學 / 護理學研究所 / 101 / Dongshih, Chiayi is a rural township situated in a tropical climate. With sufficient rainfall, sea breeze and long daylight hours, Dongshih becomes the homeland of oyster farming industry (Dongshih Township Office website, 2006). The local production is primarily around the oyster farming. Most of the woman population “shucks oyster” as their daily job.
Due to the working nature of the oyster farming industry, these women have very distinctive growing experiences. In this environment, they must learn the life skills for coastal fishery and their employment option is limited to shuck oyster. Their working hours are long and the work has to be performed during early morning to evening. This leads to many sequelae from work related injuries. This study mentions the financial difficulties and physical illness of these women. They often give up further medical treatment because the fears of worsen financial situation.
This study uses in-depth interview technique to collect qualitative information about the lifestyle and health of women who work in oyster farming industry in Dongshih costal area. The interview was conducted with 11 women with open-ended questions. The interview transcripts were then analysed and synthesise into two aspects: their living situation and the health issues arise from their living situation. This is divided into three major themes: The first, I was Hai-khau-lang; The second, shucks oyster workers will not rich; The third, shucks oyster workers`s body position. Hope this study can provide a different thinking perspective for public health nurses and community workers on cases with extraordinary life style and profession.
We should understand the individual needs and health concerns before deciding medical treatment. Only by doing this, the most appropriate care can be given.
