Abstract
Purpose: A systematic review is a reliable strategy for integrating empirical evidence that guides practice. This systematic review aims to identify and synthesize studies on risk factors for accidents among motorcycle workers. To effectively reduce accidents in this population, interventions should be based on evidence regarding relevant risk factors.
Methods: We followed the Systematic Reviews of Effectiveness in JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis. Six electronic databases were searched: PubMed, Medline, Cochrane, Web of Science, Embase, and CINAHL. The inclusion criteria comprised observational studies (cross-sectional, case-control, retrospective, cohort, and case studies) that reported on accidents involving motorcycle workers. Only articles published in peer-reviewed journals were considered, with no restriction on publication date. A librarian from the presenter’s institution guided the comprehensive search strategy. Two reviewers will independently assess the quality of the included studies using the Joanna Briggs Institute’s standardized critical appraisal instrument.
Findings: The initial search yielded 2,446 studies. After removing duplicates, 1,053 articles remained. Screening the titles and abstracts reduced this to 119 articles. During this process, two researchers resolved any disagreements through discussion to establish consistent criteria. A full-text screening led to a final selection of 23 articles. Of these, 14 (60.9%) were published after 2020. In terms of study design, the selected articles included 17 cross-sectional studies (74.0%), 2 case-control studies (8.7%), 1 retrospective study (4.3%), and 3 case studies (13.0%).
Conclusions: Accidents among commercial motorcycle workers have some of the most devastating health consequences. This systematic review seeks to identify factors contributing to these accidents, with the goal of supporting accident prevention efforts to maintain and improve the health of individuals in this population. The most significant risk factors identified will inform policy enhancements and the development of accident prevention programs for commercial motorcycle workers.
