Abstract

In the present study, the general characteristics, job stress, working conditions, and aspects of pain of some industrial workers working in Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, were surveyed. In analyzing the relationship between job stress and the existence of pain, the variables "working speed" and "opportunities to develop abilities" were shown to have statistically significant relationships with the existence of pain ($p{\leq}.05$). Regarding the relationship between working conditions and the existence of pain, the variables" amount of work per hour," "amount of work per day," "number of parts handled during work," "work production per person," and" inconvenient postures or motions during work" were shown to have statistically significant relationships with the existence of pain($p{\leq}.05$). Regarding aspects of pain", within 1~3 years" was the most common answer to time of occurrence of symptoms, with a percentage of 27.6%; "appear almost always" was the most common answer to frequency of symptoms, with a percentage of 37.1%; "slight pain" was the most common answer to degree of pain, with a percentage of 50.5%; and "moderate" was the most common answer to encumbrance caused by pain to living and work, with a percentage of 41.2%. The aim of the present study was to determine the factors that affect pain due to musculoskeletal diseases in industrial workers and to define the aspects of pain in order to provide basic data for the preparation of measures to prevent musculoskeletal diseases. To control pain due to musculoskeletal diseases, factors that affect pain, as well as the aspects of pain, should be recognized early, and efforts should be made to supplement and improve systems for preventing recurrence.
