Abstract

BackgroundOffice risk factors linked to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are frequently evaluated using ergonomic risk assessment tools.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the office risk factors linked to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) by developing an Office Ergonomic Risk Assessment (OFFERA) method.MethodsThe development and evaluation of OFFERA method, divided into two stages which include the development of OFFERA system components and psychometric properties of OFFERA method.ResultsIn the reliability testings, observers showed strong agreement both between different observers (K = 0.62-0.78) and when the same observer repeated their measurements (K = 0.81-0.96). In the validity testings, the relationship between the final score of OFFERA and the musculoskeletal symptoms is statistically significant for the wrists/hands, lower back, knees, and ankle/leg.ConclusionTests have demonstrated that the OFFERA approach can be easily used across many different types of office work.

一种评估工作相关肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSDs）办公室危险因素的方法。

与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSDs）相关的办公室风险因素经常使用人体工程学风险评估工具进行评估。目的通过建立办公室人体工效学风险评估（OFFERA）方法，探讨与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSDs）相关的办公室危险因素。方法将OFFERA方法的开发与评价分为OFFERA系统组件的开发和OFFERA方法的心理测量特性两个阶段。结果在信度检验中，不同观测者之间（K = 0.62-0.78）和同一观测者重复测量时（K = 0.81-0.96）均表现出较强的一致性。在效度检验中，手腕/手、下背部、膝盖、脚踝/腿的OFFERA最终得分与肌肉骨骼症状的关系有统计学意义。结论测试表明，OFFERA方法可以很容易地用于许多不同类型的办公室工作。

期刊介绍： WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment & Rehabilitation is an interdisciplinary, international journal which publishes high quality peer-reviewed manuscripts covering the entire scope of the occupation of work. The journal''s subtitle has been deliberately laid out: The first goal is the prevention of illness, injury, and disability. When this goal is not achievable, the attention focuses on assessment to design client-centered intervention, rehabilitation, treatment, or controls that use scientific evidence to support best practice.
