This study explored whether musculoskeletal complaints can be reduced by the provision of ergonomics education. A cluster randomized controlled trial study was conducted in which 3 units were randomized to intervention and received training and 3 units were given a leaflet. The effect of intervention on knowledge, workstation practices, musculoskeletal complaints, sickness absence, and psychological well-being were assessed at 6 and 12 months. Although there was no increment of knowledge among workers, significant improvements in workstation practices in the use of monitor, keyboard, and chair were observed. There were significant reductions in neck and upper and lower back complaints among workers but these did not translate into fewer days lost from work. Workers' stress was found to be significantly reduced across the studies. In conclusion, office ergonomics training can be beneficial in reducing musculoskeletal risks and stress among workers.
本研究探讨了提供人体工程学教育是否可以减少肌肉骨骼方面的不适。开展了一项整群随机对照试验研究，其中3个单位被随机分配到干预组并接受培训，另外3个单位收到了一份传单。在6个月和12个月时评估了干预对知识、工作站操作、肌肉骨骼不适、病假和心理健康的影响。虽然工人的知识水平没有提高，但在使用显示器、键盘和椅子的工作站操作方面有显著改善。工人的颈部以及上背部和下背部不适明显减少，但这并没有转化为更少的误工天数。在整个研究中发现工人的压力显著降低。总之，办公室人体工程学培训有助于降低工人的肌肉骨骼风险和压力。
