Effectiveness of Finger Safety Intervention Module (FingSIM) in Increasing Finger Safety Knowledge Among Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Manufacturing Industries in Selangor
Main Article Content
Abstract
Occupational finger accidents and injuries (OFAI) are prevalent among Malaysian employees. An analysis of accident statistics from the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) Malaysia revealed that 26.25% of accidents between 2017 and 2019 involved finger injuries. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the self-developed Finger Safety Intervention Module (FingSIM) in enhancing finger safety knowledge among manufacturing workers in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Materials and methods: This quasi-experimental study, involving control and intervention groups from 14 manufacturing companies in Selangor, used G*Power v3.1 to determine sample sizes. Employing a pre-test, post-test, and second-post-test, data on finger safety knowledge were collected via the validated FingSTEv questionnaire. Mixed ANOVA compared mean differences within-subject (time and group) and between-subject (group) across three time intervals. Results: The results showed a significant increase in mean knowledge scores across all three time intervals (p<.05), with a very large effect size (partial eta squared = .549). The interaction between time and group on knowledge scores within subjects also demonstrated a very large effect (partial eta squared = .553, p<.05). Similarly, the interaction effect between time and group on knowledge scores between subjects was substantial (partial eta squared = .510, p<.05). Conclusion: The study found that implementing FingSIM significantly improved manufacturing workers' finger safety knowledge in SMEs, demonstrating its effectiveness and meeting the research objectives.
