Abstract

Objective: This pilot study aims to analyze the factors influencing musculoskeletal discomfort in pregnant workers in Indonesia from occupational aspects, especially during the pandemic, to recommend further interventions and policies for a safer and healthier workplace.

Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study. It used an online questionnaire to collect data on individual, occupational, and work environmental factors and musculoskeletal discomfort. We used Chi-square and logistic regression analysis to determine associations between the risk factors and the musculoskeletal discomfort.

Results: A total of 126 women from multiple employment sectors participated. About 59% of respondents reported discomfort, with the majority having pain in the lower back (62.2%). Chi-square analysis revealed that age, history of injury, subjective agility and speed, length of working days in a week, and subjective temperature conformity were associated with the prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort. Logistic regression revealed that age (p = 0.018 and OR = 2.218) and temperature conformity (p = 0.049 and OR = 2.157) were the most significant independent predictors of musculoskeletal discomfort.

Conclusion: This study shows that temperature conformity is a predictor of musculoskeletal discomfort. Employers should consider this when determining whether their workplace is suitable for pregnant women. The treatment of younger workers needs attention, especially during pregnancy, they may need extra accommodation during pregnancy.

COVID-19 大流行期间印尼怀孕女工肌肉骨骼不适的试点研究。
研究目的本试验性研究旨在从职业方面分析影响印度尼西亚怀孕女工肌肉骨骼不适的因素,尤其是在大流行病期间,从而提出进一步的干预措施和政策建议,使工作场所更安全、更健康:本研究为横断面研究。方法:本研究为横断面研究,采用在线问卷调查的方式收集个人、职业和工作环境因素与肌肉骨骼不适的相关数据。我们使用了卡方和逻辑回归分析来确定风险因素与肌肉骨骼不适之间的关联:共有 126 名来自多个就业部门的妇女参加了调查。约 59% 的受访者表示身体不适,其中大多数人腰部疼痛(62.2%)。卡方分析表明,年龄、受伤史、主观敏捷度和速度、一周工作日长度和主观体温符合度与肌肉骨骼不适的发生率有关。逻辑回归显示,年龄(p = 0.018,OR = 2.218)和温度适宜性(p = 0.049,OR = 2.157)是肌肉骨骼不适最显著的独立预测因素:本研究表明,温度适宜性是肌肉骨骼不适的一个预测因素。雇主在确定工作场所是否适合孕妇时应考虑到这一点。年轻工人的待遇需要关注,尤其是在怀孕期间,她们可能需要额外的照顾。
