Abstract

This study was performed to determine the musculoskeletal symptoms and its association with sociodemographic and health related characteristics, job-related characteristics and occupational stress among manufacturing workers. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 856 male workers in randomly selected 62 work places with 50 or less employees in manufacturing industries during the period from October 1st, 2011 to November 30th, 2011. Complaint rates of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms was 82%. In logistic regression analysis, significant factors related with musculoskeletal symptoms were marital status, BMI, subjective health status, alcohol drinking, job position, job tenure, experience of sick absence and visiting out-patient department. In conclusion, the study results suggested that the complain rates of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms of workers in work places of manufacturing industries with 50 or less employees were higher than workers in a large enterprise or the small and medium enterprises and it was related with sociodemographic and health related characteristics, job-related characteristics and occupational stress.

본 연구는 소규모 제조업 사업장 근로자들의 근골격계질환 자각증상 호소율을 알아보고, 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성, 직업관련 특성 및 직무스트레스 요인과의 관련성을 검토하고자 시도하였다. 연구대상은 50인 미만의 소규모 제조업 사업장 62개소를 임의로 선정하여, 이들 사업장에 근무하고 있는 생산직 남성 근로자 856명으로 하였다. 조사는 2011년 10월 1일부터 11월 30일까지의 기간 동안에 조사대상 사업장에서 건강검진업무를 수행하는 의사와 간호사에 의해 자기기입식 설문조사(self-administered questionnaire)를 통해 이루어졌다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 근골격계질환 자각증상 호소율은 82.0%이었으며, 로지스틱회귀분석 결과 근골격계질환 자각증상의 관련요인으로는 결혼상태, 비만도(BMI), 주관적인 건강상태, 음주여부, 직급, 근무경력, 질병으로 인한 결근여부, 외래진료여부가 유의한 관련성이 있는 요인으로 나타났다. 이상과 같은 결과를 볼 때, 50인 미만 제조업 근로자들의 근골격계질환 자각증상 호소율은 일반 대기업이나 중소기업보다 훨씬 높은 호소율을 보였으며, 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성, 직업관련 특성 및 직무스트레스 등의 여러 요인과 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
