Abstract

Objective: This study examined the associations between different types of shift work and health symptoms, including musculoskeletal symptoms and sleep disturbances, among South Korean workers.

Methods: Data from 43,011 participants in the 7th Korean Working Conditions Survey were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each shift type.

Results: Rotating shift work was significantly associated with low back pain (aOR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.13-1.52), upper extremity pain (aOR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.14-1.51), and waking up exhausted (aOR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.20-1.64). Fixed shift workers had increased risks of anxiety (aOR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.33-2.34) and depression (aOR = 2.08, 95% CI: 1.50-2.86).

Conclusion: Rotating and fixed shift types are associated with adverse health outcomes. These findings support the need for shift type specific occupational health interventions and policy responses.

轮班工作类型与身体健康症状之间的关系，包括肌肉骨骼症状和睡眠障碍：来自第七次韩国工作条件调查的证据。

目的：本研究考察了韩国工人中不同类型的轮班工作与健康症状（包括肌肉骨骼症状和睡眠障碍）之间的关系。方法：对第七届韩国工作条件调查43011名参与者的数据进行分析。采用多变量logistic回归估计每种轮班类型的校正优势比（aORs）， 95%置信区间（CIs）。结果：轮班工作与腰痛（aOR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.13-1.52）、上肢疼痛（aOR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.14-1.51）和醒来时疲惫（aOR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.20-1.64）显著相关。固定轮班工人的焦虑（aOR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.33-2.34）和抑郁（aOR = 2.08, 95% CI: 1.50-2.86）风险增加。结论：轮班和固定轮班类型与不良健康结果相关。这些发现支持了轮班型特定职业健康干预和政策应对的必要性。
