Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of working from home on musculoskeletal pain.

Methods: An e-survey of computer workers was conducted. Multinomial logistic regression modeling examined relationships between work location (work or home office desk, dining table, other), sitting posture (diagrams with descriptors), depressive symptoms (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Short Depression Scale), sleep quality (good/average vs poor) and pain (low back pain [LBP]), and other pain without LBP (asymptomatic).

Results: Of 634 respondents, most (91%, n = 578) worked partially at home and had pain (91%, n = 576; 342 LBP, 234 other pain, 58 asymptomatic). Sitting posture ("trunk a little bent forward" vs "straight up, back against back rest": odds ratio = 2.9; 95% confidence interval = 1.3-6.5, P = 0.008), being female (2.2; 1.2-4.1, P = 0.008), and depressive symptoms (3.4; 1.7-6.6; P < 0.001) were associated with LBP. Poor sleep quality related to LBP but correlated with depressive symptoms. Working from home and location were not associated with pain.

Conclusions: Sitting postures, but not working from home, are associated with LBP.

COVID-19 期间在家工作、坐姿与腰痛之间的关系：一项针对电脑频繁使用者的调查。

目的：研究在家工作对肌肉骨骼疼痛的影响：调查在家工作对肌肉骨骼疼痛的影响：方法：对电脑工作者进行电子调查。多项式逻辑回归模型检验了工作地点（工作或家庭办公桌、餐桌、其他）、坐姿（带描述符的图表）、抑郁症状（CESD -10）、睡眠质量（良好/一般 vs 差）和疼痛（腰背痛[LBP]）、无腰背痛的其他疼痛、无症状）之间的关系：在 634 名受访者中，大多数人（91%，n = 578）部分时间在家工作并伴有疼痛（91%，n = 576；342 人有腰背痛，234 人有其他疼痛，58 人无症状）。坐姿（"躯干稍稍前屈 "与 "直立，背靠靠背"：OR = 2.9; 95% CI 1.3-6.5, p = .008）、女性（2.2; 1.2-4.1, p = .008）和抑郁症状（3.4; 1.7-6.6; p < .001）与枸杞痛有关。睡眠质量差与腰背痛有关，但与抑郁症状相关。在家工作和工作地点与疼痛无关：结论：坐姿与腰背痛有关，但在家工作与腰背痛无关。
