Abstract

Background: Occupational footwear is intended to provide protection against the risks associated with work activities. The choice of footwear is complex due to the welfare, health and safety conditions of workers.

Aims: To identify the injuries and problems caused by occupational footwear through a systematic review of the existing literature.

Methods: A literature search was carried out in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Dialnet Plus, Pubmed, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Medline, Scopus and Web of Science databases over the period 2000-23, following the PRISMA Declaration guidelines.

Results: A total of 27 studies were included in the review. The results indicated that there is a wide variety of injuries caused by occupational footwear: from dermal injuries (e.g. calluses) and injuries to the nail apparatus to inflammatory pathologies such as plantar fasciitis or bursitis. In addition, inappropriate footwear can cause pain in the ankle and foot, knees, hips and lower back. Other results include the discomfort derived from the footwear itself.

Conclusions: Inappropriate footwear can cause injuries to the foot and other related bone structures. Further studies are needed on the detection of foot injuries caused by occupational footwear and the levels of action at this level to improve the worker's health, the adaptability of the footwear to the wearer, and the worker's comfort and adherence to the footwear.

职业鞋袜造成的伤害回顾。

背景：职业鞋类旨在提供保护，防止与工作活动相关的风险。由于工人的福利、健康和安全条件不同，对鞋类的选择也很复杂。目的：通过对现有文献进行系统回顾，确定职业鞋类造成的伤害和问题：方法：按照 PRISMA 声明指南，在 2000-23 年期间，在《护理和相关健康文献累积索引》、Dialnet Plus、Pubmed、《科学电子图书馆在线》、Medline、Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库中进行文献检索：结果：共有 27 项研究被纳入审查范围。结果表明，职业鞋造成的伤害种类繁多：从皮肤损伤（如老茧）和指甲损伤到炎症性病变（如足底筋膜炎或滑囊炎）。此外，不合适的鞋会导致踝关节和足部、膝盖、臀部和腰部疼痛。其他结果还包括鞋类本身带来的不适：结论：不合适的鞋会对足部和其他相关骨骼结构造成伤害。需要进一步研究如何检测职业鞋袜造成的足部伤害，以及在这一层面采取何种行动来改善工人的健康状况、鞋袜对穿着者的适应性以及工人的舒适度和对鞋袜的依从性。
