摘要

目的:虽然肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD)和体力已经在卫生保健专业人员中得到了广泛的研究,但很少关注卫生保健辅助人员,如患者护理助理和手术患者助理,他们的工作对体力要求很高。本研究旨在探讨新聘医护支援人员之肌肉骨骼症状及体力。方法:对某公立医院新入职医护人员111名进行方便抽样。进行了定制的安置前检查。使用描述性、相关性和回归分析对数据进行分析。结果:近三分之一(32%)的新招募的卫生保健支持人员在过去12个月内至少在一个身体部位经历过肌肉骨骼症状。三分之二(68%)的研究对象缺乏运动,60%的人超重或肥胖。握力比当地标准弱。被试的优势握力、双侧举力、推力、拉力显著相关。在新招募的卫生保健工作者中,只有双侧举升与MSD显著相关。结论:本研究报告了新招募的卫生保健支持人员中MSD症状的基线患病率。他们久坐不动的生活方式和不理想的体力可能使他们容易受到职业伤害和疾病。应考虑为高风险保健工作者制定有效的职业健康方案,定期进行健康监测,以便及时采取适当的干预措施。

Pre-placement examinations for newly recruited health care support staff.

Objective: While musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and physical strength have been extensively studied in health care professionals, little attention has been paid to health care support staff, such as patient care assistants and operation patient assistants, whose jobs are physically demanding. The purpose of this paper was to examine the musculoskeletal symptoms and physical strength of newly recruited health care support staff.

Method: Convenience sampling was conducted on 111 newly employed health care support staff in a public hospital. A custom-made pre-placement examination was performed. Data were analysed using descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses.

Results: Nearly one-third (32%) of the newly recruited health care support staff had experienced musculoskeletal symptoms in at least one body part during the preceding 12 months. Two-thirds (68%) of subjects were physically inactive, and sixty percent was overweight or obese. Handgrip strength was weaker than the local norm. The subjects' dominant handgrip strength, bilateral lifting, pushing, and pulling force were significantly correlated. Only bilateral lifting was significantly associated with MSD among the newly recruited health care workers.

Conclusions: This study reports the baseline prevalence of MSD symptoms in the newly recruited health care support staff. Their sedentary lifestyle and suboptimal physical strength may render them susceptible to occupational injuries and disease. An effective occupational health programme that provides periodic health surveillance should be considered for high-risk health care workers to allow proper interventions in a timely manner.
