We assessed predictors of work-related repetitive strain injuries using data from 4 waves of the Canadian National Population Health Survey.
Participants were 2806 working adults who completed an abbreviated version of the Job Content Questionnaire in 1994-1995 and did not experience repetitive strain injuries prior to 2000-2001. Potential previous wave predictors of work-related repetitive strain injuries were modeled via multivariate logistic regression.
Female gender (odds ratio [OR] = 1.98; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.24, 3.18), some college or university education (OR=1.98; 95% CI=1.06, 3.70), job insecurity (OR=1.76; 95% CI=1.07, 2.91), high physical exertion levels (OR = 2.00; 95% CI = 1.29, 3.12), and high levels of psychological demands (OR = 1.61; 95% CI = 1.02, 2.52) were all positively associated with work-related repetitive strain injuries, whereas working less than 30 hours per week exhibited a negative association with such injuries (OR=0.2; 95% CI=0.1, 0.7).
Modifiable job characteristics are important predictors of work-related repetitive strain injuries.
我们利用来自加拿大全国人口健康调查4个阶段的数据,评估了与工作相关的重复性劳损损伤的预测因素。
参与者为2806名在职成年人,他们在1994 - 1995年完成了一份简化版的工作内容问卷,且在2000 - 2001年之前未经历过重复性劳损损伤。通过多变量逻辑回归对与工作相关的重复性劳损损伤的潜在前期预测因素进行建模。
女性(优势比[OR]=1.98;95%置信区间[CI]=1.24,3.18)、大专或本科学历(OR=1.98;95% CI=1.06,3.70)、工作不安全感(OR=1.76;95% CI=1.07,2.91)、高强度体力消耗(OR = 2.00;95% CI = 1.29,3.12)以及高心理需求水平(OR = 1.61;95% CI = 1.02,2.52)均与工作相关的重复性劳损损伤呈正相关,而每周工作少于30小时与这类损伤呈负相关(OR=0.2;95% CI=0.1,0.7)。
可改变的工作特征是与工作相关的重复性劳损损伤的重要预测因素。
