Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To explore the occurrence pattern of work-related musculoskeletal disorders( WMSDs) in electronic parts processing workers. METHODS: A total of 498 workers from an electronic parts processing factory were selected as study subjects by judgement sampling method. The prevalence of WMSDs in the past 1 year was investigated by using the China Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. The potential category model was used to classify the categories of WMSDs. RESULTS: The incidence of WMSDs in the past 1 year was 46. 8%( 233/498). Among them,the incidence of WMSDs involving only one site was 13. 1%( 65/498),and those involving at least 2 sites were 33. 7%( 168/498). The multi-site WMSDs were about 6-58 times of the single-site WMSDs. According to potential category analysis,the occurrence patterns of WMSDs were divided into three categories: i) cervical and shoulder occurrence group( 135 persons,27. 1%); ii) all parts group( 31 persons,6. 2%); iii) few or no site group( 332 persons,66. 7%). CONCLUSION: The occurrence of multi-site WMSDs in electronic parts processing workers were more common than the single-site. Analysis of potential category can be used to explore the occurrence pattern of WMSDs.
