Construction workers undertake demanding physical work and face high risk of injuries in poor working environments. This case-control study investigated the extent of their musculoskeletal pain incidence at work. A total of 2021 construction workers in different trades were interviewed on-site in a survey from December 2017 to December 2018. The survey results revealed that the pain prevalence of the subjects in the last 24 h was 10.6 %. The worst and top most common pain spots caused by work were central lower back, left/right shoulders, and knees. Regarding pain management, their most common method was to ignore the pain (21.4%). The average percentage of pain relief after receiving treatment in the 24 h was 37.12%. Besides, significant differences were found between the pain and non-pain groups regarding their employment duration in current job or their average sleep duration in the 24 h. The study showed that those with multiple and bilateral pain sites had pain interference on their living activities.
建筑工人从事艰苦的体力劳动，工作环境恶劣，受伤风险高。本病例对照研究调查了他们在工作中肌肉骨骼疼痛的发生率。2017 年 12 月至 2018 年 12 月，对不同工种的 2021 名建筑工人进行了现场调查。调查结果显示，研究对象在过去 24 小时内的疼痛患病率为 10.6%。工作中最严重和最常见的疼痛部位是中下部背部、左右肩部和膝盖。关于疼痛管理，他们最常见的方法是忽略疼痛（21.4%）。接受治疗后 24 小时内疼痛缓解的平均百分比为 37.12%。此外，在目前工作的就业时间或 24 小时内的平均睡眠时间方面，疼痛组和非疼痛组之间存在显著差异。研究表明，那些有多处和双侧疼痛部位的人在生活活动中会受到疼痛的干扰。
