Abstract

Background: The construction of buildings is risky for workers' musculoskeleton.

Objective: This study aims to calculate the significance of risk associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Method: 600 workers from 20 construction sites were surveyed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (modified) and their performance was assessed at seven construction-tasks using RULA and REBA sheets. SPSS v. 26 and R programming were used for statistical analysis.

Results: The mean value of workers' age was 28.4381 years, with 8.8205 working months/year and 65USDs monthly earnings. Maximum reporting of body discomfort was by workers of window/door framing. Workers' BMI (35-44 kg/m2) and break duration (< 15 minutes) prompted neck pain with OR 7.79 (95% CI 1.135-53.587) and OR 1.179 (95%CI 0.231-6.014) respectively. Bagging was dangerous for the ankle with OR 9.881 (95% CI 5.140-18.994), and window/door framing for feet with OR 2.057 (95% CI 1.196-3.539). The mean value of the RULA grand score ranged from 5.89 (lowest for 'leveling') to 9.25 (highest for 'demolishing'), and the REBA sheet between 8-11 for all seven studied work-stages.

Conclusion: Workers' upper and lower limbs are affected by the work-stages they perform and the social lifestyle they live in. These findings from 600 workers are sufficient to be generalized for intervention.

对建筑施工工人普遍存在的 WRMSDs 进行基于任务的评估：职业和社会经济视角。

背景建筑施工对工人的肌肉骨骼有风险：本研究旨在计算与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病风险的重要性：使用北欧肌肉骨骼问卷（修订版）对 20 个建筑工地的 600 名工人进行了调查，并使用 RULA 和 REBA 表对他们在七项建筑任务中的表现进行了评估。统计分析使用了 SPSS v. 26 和 R 程序：工人的平均年龄为 28.4381 岁，工作月数为 8.8205 个/年，月收入为 65 美元。报告身体不适最多的是窗框/门框工人。工人的体重指数（35-44 kg/m2）和休息时间（小于 15 分钟）会导致颈部疼痛，OR 值分别为 7.79（95%CI 1.135-53.587）和 1.179（95%CI 0.231-6.014）。套袋对踝关节有危险，OR 值为 9.881（95% CI 为 5.140-18.994），窗框/门框对脚部有危险，OR 值为 2.057（95% CI 为 1.196-3.539）。在所有七个研究的工作阶段中，RULA 总分的平均值从 5.89（"平整 "阶段最低）到 9.25（"拆除 "阶段最高）不等，REBA 分值在 8-11 之间：结论：工人的上肢和下肢受到他们所从事的工作阶段和所处的社会生活方式的影响。这些从 600 名工人中得出的结论足以推广到干预措施中。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present relevant information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints. It will provide readers with both 1) a general fund of knowledge on the assessment and management of specific problems and 2) new information considered to be state-of-the-art in the field. The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty. In each issue clinicians can find information which they can use in their patient setting the very next day.
