Abstract

This study was performed to determine the complaint rates of musculoskeletal symptoms and its association with related factors among manufacturing workers. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 856 male with 50 or less employees in manufacturing industries. As a results, complaint rates of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms of the body sites was 61.2% for shoulders, 55.4% for low back, 55.3% for neck, 38.6%, for legs/feet, 32.2% for hands/wrists/fingers and 26.9% for arms/elbows. In logistic regression analysis of significant factors related with musculoskeletal symptoms of body sites, neck was related with marital status, subjective health status, smoking, drinking coffee and occupational stress, shoulders was related with job tenure, shift work, visiting out-patient department and occupational stress, arms/elbows was related with sleeping time, experience of sick absence and occupational stress, hands/wrists/fingers was related with age, smoking, drinking coffee, working hour, job position, job tenure, visiting out-patient department and occupational stress, low back was related with educational level, BMI, sleeping time, job position, job tenure, visiting out-patient department and occupational stress and legs/feet was related with marital status, job position, job tenure, history of hospitalization and occupational stress.

본 연구는 제조업 남성 근로자들의 신체부위별 근골격계질환 자각증상 호소율을 알아보고 그의 관련요인을 파악하고자 제조업에 종사하고 있는 생산직 남성 근로자 856명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 통해 이루어졌다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 신체부위별 근골격계질환 자각증상 호소율을 보면 어깨부위 61.2%, 허리부위 55.4%, 목 부위 55.3%, 다리/발 부위 38.6%, 손/손목/손가락부위 32.2%, 팔/팔꿈치부위 26.9%의 순위였다. 로지스틱회귀분석 결과 신체부위별 자각증상 관련요인을 보면, 목 부위는 결혼상태, 주관적인 건강상태, 흡연여부, 커피음용여부, 직무스트레스가 유의한 관련성이 있는 요인으로 나타났으며, 어깨부위는 근무경력, 교대근무여부, 업무상 질병으로 인한 외래진료여부, 직무스트레스가 유의한 관련성이 있는 요인으로 나타났다. 팔/팔꿈치부위는 수면시간, 업무상 질병으로 인한 결근여부, 직무스트레스가 유의한 관련성이 있는 요인으로 나타났으며, 손/손목/손가락 부위는 연령, 흡연여부, 커피음용여부, 주당근무시간, 직급, 근무경력, 업무상 질병으로 인한 외래진료여부, 직무스트레스가 유의한 관련성이 있는 요인으로 나타났다. 허리 부위는 학력, BMI, 수면시간, 직급, 근무경력, 업무상 질병으로 인한 외래진료여부, 직무스트레스가 유의한 관련성이 있는 요인으로 나타났으며, 다리/발 부위는 결혼상태, 직급, 근무경력, 업무상 질병으로 인한 입원경험여부, 직무스트레스가 유의한 관련성이 있는 요인으로 나타났다.
