To examine the relationships among low back pain (LBP), inadequate physical activity, and sleep deficiency among patient care workers, and of these outcomes to work context.
A cross-sectional survey of patient care workers (N = 1572, response rate = 79%).
A total of 53% reported LBP, 46%, inadequate physical activity, and 59%, sleep deficiency. Inadequate physical activity and sleep deficiency were associated (P = 0.02), but LBP was not significantly related to either. Increased risk of LBP was significantly related to job demands, harassment at work, decreased supervisor support, and job title. Inadequate physical activity was significantly associated with low decision latitude. Sleep deficiency was significantly related to low supervisor support, harassment at work, low ergonomic practices, people-oriented culture, and job title.
These findings point to shared pathways in the work environment that jointly influence multiple health and well-being outcomes.
探讨患者护理人员腰痛(LBP)、身体活动不足和睡眠不足之间的关系,以及这些结果与工作环境的关系。
对患者护理人员进行横断面调查(N=1572,应答率=79%)。
共有 53%的人报告腰痛,46%的人身体活动不足,59%的人睡眠不足。身体活动不足和睡眠不足之间存在关联(P=0.02),但腰痛与两者均无显著关联。腰痛的风险增加与工作需求、工作中的骚扰、主管支持减少和职称有关。身体活动不足与低决策自由度显著相关。睡眠不足与主管支持不足、工作中的骚扰、低人体工程学实践、以人为本的文化和职称显著相关。
这些发现表明,工作环境中的共同途径共同影响多种健康和福祉结果。
