This study aimed to assess noise levels in various units in hospitals and explore the correlation between healthcare employees' daily noise exposure level (Lex,8h) and their stress and symptoms. Methods. A healthcare facility was selected to study noise pollution. Personal noise dosimeters were used during 8-h working shifts. Data were collected from 126 employees using the 36-item 'A stress scale' and a socio-demographic information form. Results. The results of noise measurements exceeded World Health Organization and US Environmental Protection Agency recommended limits at all sites. The lowest Lex,8h (52 dB) was detected in the endocrinology clinic, while the highest (91 dB) was recorded in the podology unit. According to the stress scale scores, the lowest mean psychological symptom score (PsSS), physiological symptom score (PhSS) and total scale score (TSS) were observed in diagnostic units with 35 ± 14, 41 ± 14 and 76 ± 27, respectively, while the highest mean PsSS, PhSS and TSS were observed in the polyclinics with 44 ± 6, 64 ± 10 and 107 ± 10, respectively. The PsSS of employees exposed to noise (Lex,8h) above 75 dB was found to be higher than for other employees. Conclusion. Lex,8h above 75 dB can increase psychological symptoms in healthcare employees.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"977-984"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141731510","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}

Associations between shift-work, musculoskeletal symptoms and absenteeism are poorly investigated in the manufacturing industry. This study aimed to investigate associations between working schedule, musculoskeletal symptoms and days of absenteeism among pulp and paper industry workers. Methods. Musculoskeletal symptoms of 904 workers were assessed through the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. χ2 tests assessed associations between being a day-worker or shift-worker, the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and days of absenteeism. Results. A significant association was found between working schedule and symptoms in the lower back in the last 12 months, with shift-workers presenting higher prevalence than day-workers (p = 0.022). Significant associations were also found between days of absenteeism and symptoms in the shoulders (p = 0.002), which mostly led to absenteeism of 100-365 days; elbows (p < 0.001), wrists/hands (p = 0.045) and ankles/feet (p = 0.042), which produced absenteeism mostly of 25-99 days; and dorsal region (p = 0.001), which mainly led to absenteeism of 10-24 days. No associations were found between working schedule and days of absenteeism (p = 0.265). Conclusion. Shift-work is associated with increased prevalence of lower back symptoms, but seems not to influence days of absenteeism. Shoulders seem to be the region leading to higher days of absenteeism, followed by elbows, wrists/hands, ankles/feet and the dorsal region.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"867-871"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141318612","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 investigate the consistency between results of the American Conference for Governmental Occupational Hygienists (ACGIH) threshold limit value (TLV) for hand activity and proposed action levels of objective measurements in risk assessments of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Methods. Wrist velocities and forearm muscular load were measured for 11 assemblers during one working day. Simultaneously, each assembler's hand activity level (HAL) during three sub-cycles was rated twice on two separate occasions by two experts, using a HAL scale. Arm/hand exertion was also rated by the assemblers themselves using a Borg scale. In total, 66 sub-cycles were assessed and assigned to three exposure categories: A) below ACGIH action limit (AL) (green); B) between AL and TLV (yellow); and C) above TLV (red). The median wrist velocity and the 90th percentile of forearm muscular load obtained from the objective measurements corresponding to the sub-cycles were calculated and assigned to two exposure categories: A) below or C) above the proposed action level. Results. The agreement between ACGIH TLV for hand activity and the proposed action level for wrist velocity was 87%. Conclusions. The proposed action level for wrist velocity is highly consistent with the TLV. Additional studies are needed to confirm the results.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"927-935"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141499310","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 develop a predictive model for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) among radiographers. Methods. A survey was conducted in seven hospitals in two cities with radiographers using the ergonomic assessment for radiographers questionnaire. Logistic regression, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) were utilized to establish statistical relationships between independent factors and musculoskeletal complaints. Results. Of 165 respondents, 75.2% reported musculoskeletal pain in the past 12 months, with lower back pain the most prevalent (58.8%). Adjusting for covariates, musculoskeletal pain significantly correlated with body mass index < 23 (odds ratio [OR] 0.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.005, 0.914]), smoking status (OR 0.274, 95% CI [0.751, 6.195]), fixed work break schedule (OR 2.839, 95% CI [1.123, 7.176]), sustained posture (OR 4.854, 95% CI [1.203,19.594]) and prolonged standing or walking (OR 7.499, 95% CI [1.086, 51.753]). The fit measures indicate a moderately good fit of the proposed model to the observed data. However, latent variables did not exhibit significant associations with WRMSD in SEM. Conclusions. The model suggests that WRMSDs among radiographers moderately correlate with underweight, smoking status, fixed work breaks, sustained posture and extended periods of standing or walking. The absence of significant associations between latent variables and WRMSDs suggests the presence of unexplored factors influencing the outcome.Trial registration: Clinical Trials Registry India identifier: CTRI/2021/09/036992.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142056845","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}
