Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the complaint rate of musculo-skeletal disorder and its related factors from male manufacturing workers at a nonferrous manufacturing industry. As for the research subjects, 302 workers selected from a nonferrous manufacturer located in Daejeon City, and as for the collection of data, a standardized anonymous questionnaire survey were conducted from May 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011. As a results, the complaint rate of musculo-skeletal disorders by each body part, the symptom of shoulders was 42.7%, the highest rate, followed by the waist, 36.8%, the neck and the hand/wrist/finger, 30.5% respectively, the leg and foot, 30.1% and arm/elbow, 20.9%. The complaint rate of musculo-skeletal disorder for the sociodemographic characteristics was significantly high as survey participants' age and BMI were low and in the group having low subjective health condition. The complaint rate of musculo-skeletal disorder for the health-related behavior characteristics was significantly high in the group having been absent from work due for diseases, in the group having received outpatient services, in the group having been hospitalized for treatment, in the group not having a regular exercise and in the group having insufficient sleeping hours. Finally, the complaint rate of musculo-skeletal disorder for the job-related characteristics was significantly high in the group suffering from the physical burden of their work, in the group working while bending at the waist and in the group carrying out repetitive tasks.

본 연구는 한 비철금속 제조업 생산직 남성 근로자들의 인구사회학적특성, 건강관련행위 특성 및 직업관련 특성별 근골격계 자각증상호소율을 파악하고 그의 관련요인을 알아보고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 대전광역시 소재한 비철금속 제조업체 근로자 302명을 대상으로 하였으며, 2011년 5월 1일부터 6월 30일까지의 기간 동안에 표준화된 무기명식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 연구대상자의 근골격계 질환 발생부위별 증상 호소율은 어깨부위의 증상이 42.7%로 가장 높았고, 다음은 허리부위 36.8%, 목 부위와 손/손목/손가락 부위가 각각 30.5%, 다리/발 부위 30.1%, 팔/팔꿈치 부위 20.9%의 순위였다. 인구사회학적 특성별 근골격계 자각증상 호소율은 연령, BMI가 낮을수록, 주관적인 건강상태가 좋지 않다는 군에서 유의하게 높았다. 건강관련 행위 특성별 자각증상 호소율은 질병으로 인한 결근한 적이 있다는 군, 외래 진료를 받은 적이 있다는 군, 입원진료를 받은적이 있다군, 규칙적인 운동이 비운동군, 수면시간이 부적당한 군에서 유의하게 높았다. 직업관련 특성별 자각증상 호소율은 업무의 신체적 부담정도가 힘들다는 군, 허리를 구부리는 작업을 하는군, 직장생활에 만족하지 않는다는 군, 근속기간이 10년 이상인 군, 허리를 구부리는 작업을 한다는 군, 반복 작업을 한다는 군에서 유의하게 높았다. 결론적으로, 생산직 남성근로자들의 근골격계 자각증상은 여러 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련 행위특성 및 직업관련 특성과 유의한 관련성이 있었다.
