INTRODUCTION
Back problems are a common complaint among emergency medical technicians (EMTs). It is hypothesized that the likelihood of reporting back problems will be associated with the individual and work-related characteristics of a national sample of EMTs.
METHODS
A case-control analysis was performed on 579 EMTs wherein cases were the 104 subjects who reported new back problems in 2004. Controls were 475 subjects who reported no back problems in 2003 and 2004.
RESULTS
EMTs dissatisfied with their current assignment were significantly more likely to report back problems (OR = 9.33; 95% CI = 3.04-28.67), as were EMTs reporting good or fair fitness when compared to excellent fitness (OR = 3.39; 95% CI = 1.54-7.45, OR = 3.43; 95% CI = 1.37-8.56).
CONCLUSIONS
Results from this analysis suggest that there are two modifiable factors associated with self-reported back problems among EMTs, satisfaction with current assignment and self-reported physical fitness.
引言
背部问题是急诊医疗技术人员（EMT）中常见的抱怨。据推测，报告背部问题的可能性将与全国EMT样本的个人及工作相关特征相关。
方法
对579名EMT进行了病例对照分析，其中病例为2004年报告有新背部问题的104名受试者。对照为475名在2003年和2004年报告无背部问题的受试者。
结果
对当前任务不满意的EMT报告背部问题的可能性显著更高（比值比=9.33；95%置信区间=3.04-28.67），与身体状况极佳的EMT相比，报告身体状况良好或一般的EMT也是如此（比值比=3.39；95%置信区间=1.54-7.45，比值比=3.43；95%置信区间=1.37-8.56）。
结论
该分析结果表明，与EMT自我报告的背部问题相关的有两个可改变的因素，即对当前任务的满意度和自我报告的身体健康状况。
