Identify and assess interventions designed to prevent or alleviate dehydration and heat stress among outdoor agricultural workers.
Conducted a systematic review adhering to PRISMA and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines across six scientific databases.
Identified and evaluated nine relevant studies using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and the GRADE framework.
Ensuring adequate access to drinking water alongside scheduled rest periods in shaded spaces significantly mitigated dehydration and physical heat stress.
Implementation of cooling devices, specifically cooling bandanas and wearable hydration backpacks, effectively reduced heat strain during high-temperature outdoor work.
