The main research question is to determine the prevalence and distribution of MSDs among bus drivers and assess the impact of these disorders on their daily activities and functioning. Methods. A supervised cross-sectional study was conducted involving 390 qualified bus drivers. MSDs were assessed using a standardized Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire, and impairments resulting from MSDs were measured using various assessment techniques. Results. The study found that 65.8% of the drivers self-reported experiencing MSDs, with the highest prevalence in the lower back, followed by the neck and upper back regions. Prevalence was relatively low in the elbow and wrist regions. MSDs were most prevalent in the neck, shoulder, upper back and lower back regions for individuals aged 29-39 years and over 40 years. The study also revealed that MSDs significantly affect daily activities, particularly in the lower and upper back regions. Disability index scores indicated that many drivers experienced mild to moderate disabilities. Conclusion. The findings underscore the necessity for appropriate healthcare and rehabilitation programs to prevent and manage MSDs among bus drivers.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143657919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to identify occupational, personal and psychosocial risk factors associated with musculoskeletal and depressive symptoms in a cohort of Brazilian healthcare workers (HEROES). Methods. The prospective cohort study included 125 healthcare workers from the Brazilian Healthcare System (SUS).

The follow-up response was 64, 52, 50 and 49% at 3, 6, 9 and 12-month follow-up, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression identified the main risk factors for musculoskeletal and depressive symptoms. Results. At 3 months, sleep quality, burnout, age, stress, quantitative demands, skill development and emotional demands were associated with musculoskeletal symptoms and recognition was associated with depressive symptoms. At 6 months, justice, stress and age were associated with musculoskeletal symptoms and recognition was associated with musculoskeletal and depressive symptoms. At 9 months, burnout, stress, sleep quality and emotional demands were associated with musculoskeletal symptoms. At 12 months, sleep quality was associated with musculoskeletal symptoms and recognition was associated with depression symptoms. Conclusion.

While role stressors have been linked to work performance, their influence on safety performance has garnered relatively scant attention. This study utilized a theoretical model integrating the pressure-state-response model and role theory to examine the relationships between role stressors (i.e., role conflict, role ambiguity and role overload) and unsafe behaviours among miners. The mediating role of risk perception between role stressors and unsafe behaviours was also tested. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 893 copper miners in China, and structural equation modelling was employed to investigate the underlying mechanisms. The results revealed that role conflict and role overload were positively related to unsafe behaviours while negatively affecting risk perception. Conversely, role ambiguity was positively related to risk perception. Risk perception was negatively related to unsafe behaviours and partially mediated the relationships between role conflict, role overload and unsafe behaviours.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143651367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from a sample of commercial pilots in China within 8 months. Results show that all the identified factors contributing to the adoption of mindful safety practices are significantly and positively interrelated. The results also reveal that safety knowledge and motivation positively mediate the relationships between safety climate (group level and organization level) and pilots' mindful safety practice adoption in the aviation industry. It is of interest that group-level safety climate exerts more impact on pilots' safety knowledge and motivation gains. Furthermore, leader-member exchange (LMX) strengthens relationships between two dimensions of safety climate and pilots' safety knowledge and motivation acquisitions.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143606692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Occupational reaching tasks performed with faulty postures may contribute to inefficient movement patterns that could lead to injury. Understanding relationships between posture and muscle activation during reaching tasks may elucidate movement patterns that increase occupational injury risk in workers. This study assessed whether postural factors and muscle activation predict forward reaching movement performance and accuracy. Methods. Predictor variables of forward shoulder posture (FSP), pectoral length, upper (UT), middle (MT) and lower trapezius (LT) and pectoralis major (PM) muscle activation, and UT:PM, MT:PM, and LT:PM co-activation during forward reaching were analysed for 56 individuals. Sequential linear regression equations assessed reaching variance. Results. For females, FSP, UT activation, and UT:PM co-activation explained 36% of reaction time (RT) variance, and MT:PM co-activation explained 14% of endpoint accuracy variance. For males, MT:PM co-activation explained 17% of movement time (MvT) variance, and FSP, MT:PM co-activation and MT explained 23% of accuracy variance. Conclusion. Increased co-activation was a predictor of movement performance; however, performance outcome variables differed between males (MvT) and females (RT). Muscle co-activation coupled with FSP and posterior shoulder muscle activation resulted in differences in predicting reaching performance variance. Practitioners might consider evaluating these muscle activation and postural factors in occupational reaching tasks.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04944745.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143587696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative data on the maximum force, time to maximum force, time to maximum rate of force development, the rate of force development and the time of endurance in force, expressed as the force impulse, were measured. Results. The t test for paired samples showed significant differences between dominant and non-dominant hands in maximum force and rate of force development. The factorial analysis revealed three main components. Contractile force included maximum force and rate of force development, neural speed included time to maximum force and time to rate of force development, while neuro-muscular endurance included endurance of the non-dominant and dominant hands.
