OBJECTIVE
To examine occupational injuries among career women firefighters (FFs).
METHODS
A national cross-sectional survey assessed injury prevalence, types, frequencies, and predictors.
RESULTS
A total of 3012 women career FFs were enrolled in the study. Almost a third (31.7%) reported at least one occupational injury in the past 12 months. The most common injuries were dislocations, sprains, or strains (59.3%). Racial minority status, self-rated health, body composition, exercise habits, substance use, mental health, and job dissatisfaction were all significant injury correlates. Nearly 43% of injuries resulted in missed workdays. Additionally, 25% reported incurring chronic injuries.
CONCLUSIONS
Women FFs reported a high prevalence of occupational injury and a significant percentage reported chronic injuries. These data can inform initiatives to curtail injuries in the fire service and better protect women FFs.
目的
研究职业女性消防员的职业伤害情况。
方法
一项全国性横断面调查评估了伤害发生率、类型、频率及预测因素。
结果
共有3012名职业女性消防员参与了该研究。近三分之一（31.7%）的人报告在过去12个月中至少发生过一次职业伤害。最常见的伤害是脱位、扭伤或拉伤（59.3%）。少数族裔身份、自评健康状况、身体组成、运动习惯、物质使用、心理健康及工作不满均与伤害显著相关。近43%的伤害导致误工。此外，25%的人报告有慢性损伤。
结论
女性消防员职业伤害发生率较高，且有相当比例的人报告有慢性损伤。这些数据可为减少消防行业伤害及更好地保护女性消防员的举措提供参考。
