DataSheet1_Occupational Factors Affecting Women Workers’ Sexual and Reproductive Health Outcomes in Oil, Gas, and Mining Industry: A Scoping Review.docx

Objectives: Globally, female workers workforce in Oil, Gas, and Mining (OGM) industry have increased significantly. The complexities of the OGM operations and the extensive exposure to workplace hazards potentially affect the health status of workers, including sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes of female workers. Yet, the current state of knowledge on SRH issues in OGM contexts seems to be limited and fragmented. This scoping review aims to identify the occupational factors that influence women’s SRH outcomes in OGM industry.
Methods: This scoping review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute’s guidelines (PRISMA) and was conducted in five databases, including the citation chaining via Google Scholar and manual search through relevant organisations and Government websites. Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria and were analysed.
Results: Despite the scarcity of evidence, chemical and physical are found to be the predominant factors greatly influencing women workers’ SRH outcomes in OGM. Most studies showed menstrual and cycle disorders, and risky pregnancy as key SRH issues. However, menstruation disorder was considerably linked with psychological and organisational factors.
Conclusion: This review suggests further empirical research on the relationship between OGM occupational hazards and women workers’ SRH. This will contribute to improvements in workplace safety legislations, measures, policies, and management systems taking into account women’s needs.

研究目标：全球范围内，石油、天然气与采矿（Oil, Gas, and Mining，以下简称OGM）行业的女性从业人数已显著增长。该行业作业流程复杂，且从业者需广泛接触工作场所危害因素，可能对劳动者健康状况产生负面影响，其中包括女性工人的性与生殖健康（Sexual and Reproductive Health，以下简称SRH）结局。然而，目前针对OGM行业场景下SRH相关问题的认知仍较为有限且零散。本范围综述旨在明确OGM行业中影响女性工人SRH结局的职业相关因素。

研究方法：本范围综述遵循乔安娜·布里格斯研究所的指南，并结合PRISMA报告规范，共检索了5个数据库，同时通过谷歌学术（Google Scholar）进行引文追踪，以及手动检索相关机构与政府网站。最终有16篇符合纳入标准的文献被纳入分析。

研究结果：尽管相关研究证据较为匮乏，但现有研究表明，化学与物理性职业危害因素是影响OGM行业女性工人SRH结局的主要因素。多数研究显示，月经及周期紊乱、高危妊娠是主要的SRH相关问题。但月经紊乱与心理及组织管理因素存在显著关联。

研究结论：本综述建议未来应开展更多针对OGM行业职业危害与女性工人SRH之间关联的实证研究，从而助力在兼顾女性需求的前提下，完善工作场所安全相关的法律法规、防护措施、政策及管理体系。
