How working hours are organized can have a substantial effect on workers' health. Using a questionnaire and cross-sectional study design, we evaluated the relationship between working time characteristics, job demands, and health behaviors on musculoskeletal symptoms among 316 Department of Transportation (N = 174) and Department of Corrections (N = 142) workers. Low schedule control was associated with neck/shoulder musculoskeletal symptoms (prevalence ratio: 1.20, 95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.34, p < 0.01), and working long (>48 hours per week) hours more frequently was associated with leg/foot musculoskeletal symptoms (prevalence ratio: 1.26 95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.50, p = 0.02). Some working time characteristics were associated with musculoskeletal symptoms, and should be taken into consideration as part of interventions to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and promote health of workers.
工作时间的安排方式对劳动者的健康有重大影响。我们采用问卷调查和横断面研究设计，评估了运输部（N=174）和惩教部（N=142）316 名员工的工作时间特征、工作要求与健康行为对肌肉骨骼症状的关系。低日程控制与颈/肩部肌肉骨骼症状相关（患病率比：1.20，95%置信区间：1.06-1.34，p<0.01），而更频繁地长时间工作（>48 小时/周）与腿部/脚部肌肉骨骼症状相关（患病率比：1.26，95%置信区间：1.06-1.50，p=0.02）。一些工作时间特征与肌肉骨骼症状相关，应将其作为预防肌肉骨骼疾病和促进工人健康干预措施的一部分加以考虑。
