To determine ergonomic problems when working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic with regard to musculoskeletal pain, sleep conditions, physical activity, resting, equipment, and productivity.
In this cross-sectional study, office workers who switched to working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic participated in an online survey (n = 194). The data were interpreted using descriptive and multivariate regression analysis.
A significant increase in back pain was revealed (P < 0.001). Significant weight gain was observed (P < 0.001) connected to a decrease in physical activity and an increase in the consumption of junk food. Despite the negative health impact, participants self-reported an increase in productivity.
The self-reported productivity was higher during the working from home, but a declining trend in employee health can be observed including low back pain and weight gain.
确定 COVID-19 大流行期间在家工作时与肌肉骨骼疼痛、睡眠状况、身体活动、休息、设备和生产力相关的工效学问题。
在这项横断面研究中,参与在线调查的(n=194)在 COVID-19 大流行期间转为在家工作的办公室工作人员。使用描述性和多变量回归分析来解释数据。
显示出背痛显著增加(P<0.001)。观察到显著的体重增加(P<0.001)与身体活动减少和垃圾食品消费增加有关。尽管对健康有负面影响,但参与者自我报告的生产力有所提高。
在家工作时自我报告的生产力更高,但可以观察到员工健康呈下降趋势,包括下背痛和体重增加。
