While the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders has recently increased among Korean workers employed in highly physically and psychologically demanding jobs, the relation among these domains remains relatively unexplored. We examined 2,037 subway workers in Seoul, that collected data via questionnaire survey on musculoskeletal symptoms and the work environment, administered in 2009, 2012, and 2015. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) analysis was used for statistical analysis. After conducting GEE analysis by adjusting for the sociodemographic and occupational characteristics, we found the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms significantly increased in cases with high Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS) scores compared with low DASS scores, especially on shift workers. An integrated management method that considers ergonomic and mental health factors, should be used to better manage musculoskeletal symptoms in subway workers.
尽管最近在从事高度身心要求工作的韩国工人中，肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率有所增加，但这些领域之间的关系仍相对未知。我们调查了首尔的 2037 名地铁工人，这些工人于 2009 年、2012 年和 2015 年通过问卷调查收集了肌肉骨骼症状和工作环境的数据。使用广义估计方程（GEE）分析进行统计分析。在调整了社会人口学和职业特征后，我们发现与低 DASS 评分相比，具有高抑郁、焦虑和压力量表（DASS）评分的患者肌肉骨骼症状的患病率显著增加，尤其是轮班工人。应该采用一种综合管理方法，考虑人体工程学和心理健康因素，以更好地管理地铁工人的肌肉骨骼症状。
