摘要

本研究调查了韩国劳动妇女中与下尿路症状(LUTS)相关的工作场所厕所。进行了一项横断面调查,以确定韩国就业妇女的人口统计学特征、职业风险因素和尿路症状。职业风险因素包括两个关于在工作场所使用厕所的调查问题。使用膀胱过度活动症状评分(OABSS)和国际失禁问卷-尿失禁简短形式(ICIQ-SF)评估LUTS。使用尿路症状的工作效率和活动障碍问卷(WPAI-US)估计与健康相关的生产力损失(HRPL)。使用多元逻辑回归来确定工作场所厕所使用与LUTS之间的关系。此外,采用广义线性回归分析,根据工作场所厕所的便捷性评估HRPL。在1057名参与者中,分别有260名(24.6%)和294名(27.81%)患有膀胱过度活动和尿失禁。超过50%的人报告厕所设施不足。多元logistic回归分析显示,工作场所厕所可及性越低,LUTS发病率越高,HRPL越高。总之,在工作场所限制使用厕所与泌尿健康状况不佳和生产力下降有关。

Association of workplace toilet access with urinary tract symptoms and productivity loss among female workers.

This study investigated workplace toilet access related to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) among women in the Korean workforce. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to determine demographic characteristics, occupational risk factors, and urinary tract symptoms among employed Korean women. Occupational risk factors included two survey questions about access to toilets at work. LUTS were assessed using the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) and international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-urinary incontinence short form (ICIQ-SF). Health-related productivity losses (HRPL) were estimated using the work productivity and activity impairment questionnaire for urinary symptoms (WPAI-US). Multiple logistic regression was used to determine the association between workplace toilet access and LUTS. In addition, generalised linear regression analysis was performed to assess HRPL according to workplace toilet access. Of the 1057 participants, 260 (24.6%) and 294 (27.81%) had overactive bladder and urinary incontinence, respectively. More than 50% reported poor access to toilet. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the lower the access to toilets in the workplace, the higher the incidence of LUTS and the higher HRPL. In conclusion, restricted access to toilets at work are associated with poor urinary health and loss of productivity.
