This special issue of the International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics (JOSE) reports the results from an extensive multinational and multidisciplinary collaborative investigation of the impacts on visual display terminal (VDT) work of musculoskeletal, visual, ergonomic, and psychosocial factors. For brevity, this effort has been referred to as the MEPS project (musculoskeletal--eyestrain--psychosocial--stress). This paper lays out the basic methodological structure of the study. The study was conducted in 4 countries utilizing VDT data entry workers as the primary subject population. A battery of objective and subject assessment measures, including muscle load, visual function, physical and visual strain, postural, ergonomic and psychosocial factors, were assessed at 3 different points in time. A pre-test was given prior to an ergonomic intervention. Two post-tests were given 1 month and 1 year after the ergonomic intervention.
《国际职业安全与人类工效学杂志》（JOSE）的这一特刊报道了一项广泛的跨国多学科合作调查的结果，该调查研究了肌肉骨骼、视觉、工效学和心理社会因素对视觉显示终端（VDT）工作的影响。为简洁起见，这项工作被称为MEPS项目（肌肉骨骼——眼疲劳——心理社会——压力）。本文阐述了该研究的基本方法结构。该研究在4个国家开展，以VDT数据录入员作为主要研究对象群体。在3个不同时间点评估了一系列客观和主观评估指标，包括肌肉负荷、视觉功能、身体和视觉疲劳、姿势、工效学和心理社会因素。在进行工效学干预之前进行了预测试。在工效学干预1个月和1年后分别进行了两次后测试。
