Cytotechnologists are laboratory professionals who analyze cytology slides under optical microscopes. Static postures, speed and repetitive movements are associated with occurrence of musculoskeletal complaints.
To establish the main musculoskeletal complaints among cytotechnologists at the National Cancer Institute, Brazil, test associations between absenteeism due to musculoskeletal complaints and individual and occupational variables, and characterize absenteeism related to diseases of the musculoskeletal system in 2016 and 2017.
Cross-sectional study in which we administered the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and tested associations between exposure variables and absenteeism. We also analyzed morbidity records kept at the Occupational Health Division (OHD) to establish the main disorders related to absenteeism. Associations were investigated by means of Fisher's test using SPSS version 20.0. The significance level was set to p<0.05.
34.4% of the sample required sick leave due to musculoskeletal complaints. The most affected body site was the neck (18%). As per the OHD records, sickness absenteeism was mainly due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (25%). We found statistically significant association of absenteeism with length in the job and body mass index.
Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue were the main reason for missing work days. Absenteeism was associated with length in the job and high body mass index.
细胞技术专家是在光学显微镜下分析细胞学载玻片的实验室专业人员。静态姿势、工作速度和重复性动作与肌肉骨骼疾病的发生有关。
确定巴西国家癌症研究所细胞技术专家中主要的肌肉骨骼疾病，测试因肌肉骨骼疾病导致的缺勤与个人及职业变量之间的关联，并描述2016年和2017年与肌肉骨骼系统疾病相关的缺勤情况。
采用横断面研究，我们发放了北欧肌肉骨骼问卷，并测试了暴露变量与缺勤之间的关联。我们还分析了职业健康部门保存的发病率记录，以确定与缺勤相关的主要疾病。使用SPSS 20.0软件通过Fisher检验研究关联。显著性水平设定为p<0.05。
34.4%的样本因肌肉骨骼疾病请病假。受影响最严重的身体部位是颈部（18%）。根据职业健康部门的记录，病假缺勤主要是由于肌肉骨骼系统和结缔组织疾病（25%）。我们发现缺勤与工作年限和体重指数之间存在统计学上的显著关联。
肌肉骨骼系统和结缔组织疾病是缺勤的主要原因。缺勤与工作年限和高体重指数有关。
