Opis:
Czas pracy w Polsce należy do najdłuższych w Europie. Jakie mogą być tego skutki dla zdrowia pracowników. Odpowiedzi na to pytanie poszukiwano dokonując przeglądu istniejących w literaturze badań na ten temat. Wskazują one jednoznacznie na to, że długi czas pracy jest związany z istotnym pogorszeniem się wskaźników układów krążenia, mięśniowo-szkieletowego oraz odpornościowego.
Working time in Poland is one of the longest in Europe. What can be its effects on workers' health? An attempt has been made to answer this question by reviewing existing research on that problem. The relationship between long working hours and a significant deterioration in cardiovascular, immunological and musculoskeletal indices has thus been confirmed.

Opis:
This study used qualitative and quantitative methods, such as OWAS (Ovako working posture analysis system) and behavior observation, to analyze musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk factors of power line fixing work in China. Video-based sampling was used to record and analyze the frequency and posture of on-pole activities. Those key subtasks showed ergonomics characteristics of on-pole fixing tasks. Insulator-fixing was the longest subtask (33% of total working time). Bar-installing was the second longest (26% of total working time). It was evident that bar-installing and insulator-fixing were full of hazardous risks. The action categories of the 2 subtasks were higher than of the other ones. The 2 subtasks were also time-consuming, difficult and induced MSDs. Assistant linemen faced more hazardous factors than chief linemen.

Objectives This study investigated whether playing wind instruments has adverse effects on musculoskeletal functions among junior high school students who play in music clubs. Material and Methods The study included 210 junior high school students (35 boys, 175 girls) belonging to 1 of 4 different school clubs that practiced playing wind instruments more than 6 days/week. The mean age of the participants was 14 years. The study was performed using a questionnaire survey and an electromyographic examination of jaw and cervical muscle activities during playing wind instruments. Results The prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) among the children playing woodwind (WW) or brass wind (BW) instruments was higher than in those playing non-wind (NW) instruments. Long duration of playing WW with a reed mouthpiece or BW with a small mouthpiece was suggested to affect the incidence of TMD, which was more marked in girls than in boys, irrespective of height or weight. Muscle activity in the masseter muscle during playing an instrument was significantly higher in the BW with a small mouthpiece group than in the NW group (p < 0.05). In cervical muscles, muscle activity of both the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles was higher during playing BW than in the case of other instruments, and activity in the sternocleidomastoid muscle was significantly higher in the BW with a small mouthpiece group than in the case of other instrument groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions Playing wind instruments may have adverse effects on musculoskeletal functions among junior high school students playing in music clubs as compared with playing NW instruments. The prevalence of TMD among the students playing wind instruments was higher than in those playing other instruments. Long duration of playing those instruments affects musculoskeletal function, and this effect is more marked in girls than in boys, irrespective of height or weight.

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) in nurses, and to explore the association of work style and physical exercise with WMSD in this professional group. Material and Methods In this study, a cross-sectional survey design was applied. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 692 nurses in 5 municipal hospitals, in the period August–October 2015. The survey included personal information, lifestyle, physical exercise and symptoms of WMSD. Chi² test and logistic regression were used to identify the risk factors of WMSD. Results The prevalence of WMSD was 84% in all parts of the body in the previous year, with the highest prevalence in the neck (68.2%), followed by waist (67.6%) and shoulder (54.6%). Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that physical exercise, night shifts and staying up late were associated with WMSD in nurses. The lack of exercise, night shifts and a tendency to stay up significantly increased the risk of WMSD (p < 0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among the municipal hospital nursing staff is high. An elevated risk of WMSD is observed in nurses who do not do exercises, work shifts and stay up late. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2019;32(1):15–24

Opis:
Działalność zawodowa wiąże się z wieloma zagrożeniami dla pracowników. Jednym z głównych jest nadmierne obciążenie fizyczne skutkujące schorzeniami ścięgien, mięśni i więzadeł. Skutkiem niewłaściwego obciążenia fizycznego jest powstawanie dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych (Bujalska, Żołnierczyk-Zreda, 2011). Malarz pomieszczeń to jedna z grup zawodów należących do sekcji budownictwa, zajmująca się pracami wykończeniowymi związanymi z malowaniem ścian pomieszczeń. Ze względu na nienaturalne pozycje ciała przyjmowane przez malarza podczas wykonywania pracy, a także czas ich utrzymywania jest to grupa zawodów szczególnie narażona na schorzenia narządu ruchu. Ważnym zatem jest przeprowadzenie oceny ryzyka rozwoju dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych związanych z wykonywaną pracą. W poniższym artykule dokonano tego za pomocą metod: RULA oraz REBA.
Each of the above-described methods is used to evaluate diseases of musculoskeletal system. However, in conjunction with different purposes of methods, the above-described embodiment in this article it can be concluded that the findings carried out by any of the methods can be different. These differences are small. After testing, it can be seen that the findings carried out by various methods are classified in very similar terms – a high level of risk. Therefore it is assumed that, each of these methods are only providing guidance to actions measures to reduce the risks of formation of musculoskeletal disorders. Decisions related to making changes in construction jobs or the entire work process should be taken based on accurate ergonomic research.

The main objective of the article was to determine the commonness of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) and other disorders among boys and girls aged 7-18 who study in Lubuskie Province. The results of conducted research let determine the commonness of MSDs in the studied population, assess the frequency of increases and decreases of reporting pain during a school day as well as estimate the size of cross-gender differences. In both sexes headaches and soared eyes are predominant among the evaluated symptoms; whereas among the ailments of musculoskeletal system the following problems are most common: lumbar-sacral spine pain, pain in the neck, shoulder pain, pain in the arms and thoracic part of the spine. The frequency of ailments increases with age and in majority of cases it is higher in the afternoon than in the morning. Girls of all ages report headache and abdominal pain more often than boys. With age the number of body parts the girls report as symptoms associated with pain increases and the phenomenon occurs during the last lesson. Girls not only more often complain of discomfort, but also fell the pain of higher intensity.
Głównym celem pracy było określenie powszechności występowania dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych i innych wśród chłopców i dziewcząt w wieku 7-18 lat uczących się w szkołach województwa lubuskiego. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań pozwoliły określić powszechność MSDs w badanej populacji, ocenić przyrosty i spadki częstości zgłaszania bólu w ciągu dnia nauki szkolnej oraz oszacować wielkość różnic międzypłciowych.. Pośród ocenianych dolegliwości u obu płci dominują bóle głowy i oczu, natomiast pośród dolegliwości układu ruchu, bóle odcinka lędźwiowo-krzyżowego kręgosłupa, karku, barków, ramion oraz piersiowej części kręgosłupa. Częstość dolegliwości zwiększa się wraz z wiekiem i w zdecydowanej większości przypadków jest większa po południu niż rano. Dziewczęta w każdym wieku częściej niż chłopcy zgłaszają ból głowy i brzucha. Na ostatniej lekcji wraz z wiekiem zwiększa się liczba regionów ciała, na których dolegliwości częściej uskarża się płeć żeńska. Dziewczęta nie tylko częściej uskarżają się na dolegliwości, ale też odczuwają ból o większym natężeniu

Opis:
Street cleaning is an integral part of the solid waste management system. There are different ways to achieve clean streets depending on the availability of equipment, the type and magnitude of dirt, the surface conditions encountered or traffic conditions. In general, hand sweeping by an individual worker or a group, hose flushing, or machine sweeping or flushing are applied. In order to obtain information about the occurrence and relevance of occupational health hazards of street cleaners, the current international literature, as well as corresponding German regulations, were reviewed and evaluated. Street cleaning includes a variety of health hazards for employees. These can be subdivided into effects of occupational tasks and effects of working conditions such as weather or road traffic. The hazards result from physical, chemical and biological exposures, but may also be due to physiological and psychological burden or inadequate safety aspects. The most commonly reported work-related complaints are musculoskeletal and respiratory disorders, cuts, slips, and road traffic accidents. In developing countries, street cleaners seem to be still heavily exposed to dust and, in most cases, no suitable protective measures are available. Especially in industrialized countries there exist a number of standards and recommendations for waste workers that aim to reduce their occupational health impacts.

Objective. This study aimed to develop a system for predicting work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) among dental students. Materials and methods. The system comprised 2 accelerometer sensors to register neck and upper back postures and movements, and software developed to collect and process the data. Hidden Markov models (HMMs) were used to predict the likelihood of WMSD in dental students by comparing their neck and upper back movement patterns with WMSD and non-WMSD HMMs learned from previous data. To evaluate the performance of the system, 16 participants were randomly assigned into a 2 × 2 crossover trial scheduled for each sequence of working: receiving feedback or no-feedback from the system. The primary outcome measure was the extension of the neck and upper back, before (pre-test) and after (posttest) receiving feedback or no-feedback from the system. The secondary outcome measure was the log likelihood of classifying the movements as WMSD. Results and discussion. The results showed that in the group that received feedback, the extension of the neck in the y axis and of the upper back in the y axis decreased significantly (t test, p < .05) on the post-test. Conclusion. The system for predicting and preventing WMSD aids the correction of the extension of the neck and upper back in the y axis.

Opis:
The discussion developed in this paper is based on the results of an ergonomic work analysis carried out with attendants at call centers. Some critical issues and difficulties, like working pace, inadequate tools and workstations, and software inadequacies were detected in working situations. Operator-customer interactions are presented, attempting to put in evidence working constraints, working conditions, and their connection with health problems. The main conclusion is that serving clients, especially when the job is to provide information, is not a simple task, as information is not always available in the computerized system and is completely fragmented. The scope of workers’ actions is very restricted and complicated and recurrent requests are redirected to others. Workers (individually or as groups) have limited possibilities to make adjustments to be able to give more adequate and personalized treatment to clients and, at the same time, to work in a less stressful environment. In periods of increased workload and work intensification, the situation is very much favorable to the incidence of health disorders, such as work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) and others. Some suggestions to improve the work situation are discussed.

Opis:
Neuropathic pain and chronic pain constitute an interdisciplinary problem on the border of medicine, psychology, sociology and economics. While it seems to be underestimated, the scale of this problem will continue to increase due to the population aging and the growing incidence of lifestyle disorders. People employed in various occupational sectors may also wrestle with these disease units, which affect the quality of their life, mental health and work productivity. A narrative review provided an overview of neuropathic pain and chronic pain, and their relationship to such factors as job type, work absenteeism and productivity decline, as well mental well-being. A systematic literature search was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines to identify appropriate literature by searching the electronic databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Pain Journal and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Studies were published in Polish, English and French. Research shows an increasing number of musculoskeletal diseases in professionally active people, which lead to disability or provoke work absences. However, sickness presenteeism and/or absenteeism caused by pain not only leads to economic burdens, but also to burnout, fatigue and depression syndromes in employees. These disorders may require specialized effective interventions to support the return to work or maintaining employment despite experiencing pain. Every patient with chronic or neuropathic pain should be correctly assessed to determine the best method of treatment and its effectiveness.

The study was carried out to identify the prevalence and pattern of work related musculoskeletal disorders among blacksmiths in Kurmi market, Kano state. A total of 138 blacksmiths were recruited out of which only 133 were able to fill the questionnaire properly. Data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency, percentages, tables, and charts, using SPSS version 15. Result obtained showed that there is high prevalence of work related musculoskeletal disorders among the studied population (43.3%), in which shoulder region is the most frequent area of affectation in 39.6% of the total symptoms reported. The predominant risk factors were high repetitive motion (85.7%), prolonged sitting (95.5%), and greater number of working hours i.e 5-8 hours for most days in 34.6% of the total population. Among the entire study population (n=133); only 30 ever attended hospital to seek for medical attention against their symptoms/complaints, out of which only 15 were seen by a physiotherapist. Also 7 out of the total study population ever absent themselves from work secondary to their symptoms. It was concluded that there is a high prevalence of WMSDs among blacksmiths. The upper extremity region of the body is more affected than lower extremities. Increasing age, weight and working for long hours or days were major risk factors to developing WMSDs.

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential association between occupational stress and musculoskeletal symptoms in firefighters. Material and Methods Data were collected among Cypriot firefighters through a battery of adapted questionnaires completed anonymously. Results A total of 430 firefighters (a response rate of 68%) completed the survey (the age range: 21–60 years). A total of 11% of firefighters reported moderate to extremely severe stress through the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale. A total of 40% of firefighters reported musculoskeletal symptoms, the most frequent being back pain. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models showed that occupational stress was associated with a 50% higher risk of musculoskeletal symptoms in firefighters after adjusting for age, smoking and obesity (OR = 1.52, p = 0.04). In addition, a positive dose-response relationship was found between occupational stress and musculoskeletal symptoms. Conclusions Occupational stress constitutes a significant risk for firefighters and is associated with higher prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms at work.

Musculoskeletal disorders lead to pain and suffering and result in high costs to industry. There is evidence to suggest that whereas conventional ergonomics training programs result in knowledge gains, they may not necessarily translate to changes in behavior. There were 11 participants in an ergonomics training program, and a subsample of participants received a motivational intervention in the form of incentives for correct workstation setup. Training did not yield any changes in ergonomics measures for any participant. Incentives resulted in marked and durable changes in targeted workstation measures. The data suggest that improving worker knowledge about ergonomically correct workstation setup does not necessarily lead to correct workstation setup, and that motivational interventions may be needed to achieve lasting behavior change.

Opis:
Physical therapists engage in work tasks that expose them to occupational risk factors related to musculoskeletal disorders. Due to the gap in the literature on instruments focused on those workers, this study adapted a job factors questionnaire to physical therapists, and assessed its psychometric properties. The questionnaire was adapted and its content validity was established. The psychometric properties were evaluated among 142 physical therapists. Reliability was verified using the temporal-stability design and internal consistency. Construct validity was assessed with the known-groups technique. Test–retest results demonstrated intraclass correlation coefficients between .82 and .90 (p < .001). Cronbach’s α of .91 verified the reliability of the questionnaire. The known-groups technique demonstrated a statistically significant difference on the scores of the items when physical therapists were compared to office workers. The results indicated that the adapted questionnaire had acceptable psychometric properties for assessing problematic job factors among physical therapists working in hospitals.

Potters and sculptors perform their work in very awkward postures. The purpose of this study was to analyse these postures. The modified Nordic questionnaire was used to analyse musculoskeletal discomfort. Rapid entire body assessment (REBA) and rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) were used to evaluate the subjects' postures. There were no significant differences between times of discomfort and the group of subjects. However, there were significant differences in discomfort in different body parts. The analysis indicated that various body postures were harmful to the subjects and that there were profound deviations from natural curvature of various body parts due to awkward body postures. Ergonomics intervention was required to improve the quality of life.
