Abstract

How working hours are organized can have a substantial effect on workers' health. Using a questionnaire and cross-sectional study design, we evaluated the relationship between working time characteristics, job demands, and health behaviors on musculoskeletal symptoms among 316 Department of Transportation (N = 174) and Department of Corrections (N = 142) workers. Low schedule control was associated with neck/shoulder musculoskeletal symptoms (prevalence ratio: 1.20, 95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.34, p < 0.01), and working long (>48 hours per week) hours more frequently was associated with leg/foot musculoskeletal symptoms (prevalence ratio: 1.26 95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.50, p = 0.02). Some working time characteristics were associated with musculoskeletal symptoms, and should be taken into consideration as part of interventions to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and promote health of workers.

调查工作时间特征与肌肉骨骼症状之间的关系:一项横断面研究。

如何安排工作时间会对工人的健康产生重大影响。采用问卷调查和横断面研究设计，我们评估了316名交通运输部(N = 174)和惩教部(N = 142)员工的工作时间特征、工作需求和健康行为对肌肉骨骼症状的关系。低时间控制与颈/肩肌肉骨骼症状相关(患病率:1.20,95%可信区间:1.06-1.34,p =每周48小时)，更频繁地与腿/足肌肉骨骼症状相关(患病率:1.26,95%可信区间:1.06-1.50,p = 0.02)。一些工作时间特征与肌肉骨骼症状有关，应作为预防肌肉骨骼疾病和促进工人健康的干预措施的一部分加以考虑。

期刊介绍： Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health , originally founded in 1919 as the Journal of Industrial Hygiene, and perhaps most well-known as the Archives of Environmental Health, reports, integrates, and consolidates the latest research, both nationally and internationally, from fields germane to environmental health, including epidemiology, toxicology, exposure assessment, modeling and biostatistics, risk science and biochemistry. Publishing new research based on the most rigorous methods and discussion to put this work in perspective for public health, public policy, and sustainability, the Archives addresses such topics of current concern as health significance of chemical exposure, toxic waste, new and old energy technologies, industrial processes, and the environmental causation of disease such as neurotoxicity, birth defects, cancer, and chronic degenerative diseases. For more than 90 years, this noted journal has provided objective documentation of the effects of environmental agents on human and, in some cases, animal populations and information of practical importance on which decisions are based.
