To determine if ergonomic improvements in a radiology department can decrease repetitive stress injuries (RSIs), advance ergonomics knowledge, and improve well-being.
Radiologists in an academic institution were surveyed regarding physician wellness, workstations, RSIs, and ergonomics knowledge before and after interventions over 1 year. Interventions included committee formation, education, wrist pads and wireless mice, broken table and chair replacement, and cord organization. Mann-Whitney U test was used for analysis.
Survey response was 40% preinterventions (59/147), and 42% (66/157) postinterventions. Preinterventions, of radiologists with RSI history, 17/40 (42%) reported the RSI caused symptoms which can lead to burnout, and 15/40 (37%) responded their RSI made them think about leaving their job. Twenty-three of 59 (39%) radiologists had an active RSI preinterventions. Postinterventions, 9/25 (36%) RSI resolved, 13/25 (52%) RSI improved, and 3/25 (12%) RSI did not improve. RSI improvements were attributed to ergonomic interventions in 19/25 (76%) and therapy in 2/25 (8%). Radiologists who thought their workstation was designed with well-being in mind increased from 9/59 (15%) to 52/64 (81%). The percentage of radiologists knowing little or nothing about ergonomics decreased from 15/59 (25%) to 5/64 (8%). After ergonomics interventions, more radiologists thought the administration cared about safety and ergonomics, equipment was distributed fairly, and radiologists had the ability to ask for equipment (p < .01). Fifty-three of 64 (83%) of radiologists after interventions said improving workstation ergonomic design contributed to well-being.
Ergonomic improvements in radiology can decrease RSIs, advance ergonomics knowledge, and improve well-being.
确定放射科的人体工程学改进是否可以减少重复性压力损伤（RSI），提高人体工程学知识水平，并改善健康状况。
对一家学术机构的放射科医生进行了一项调查，内容涉及医生的健康状况、工作站、RSI 和人体工程学知识，调查在 1 年期间进行了干预措施前后。干预措施包括成立委员会、教育、腕垫和无线鼠标、更换损坏的桌椅、整理电线。采用 Mann-Whitney U 检验进行分析。
调查的反馈率为干预前的 40%（59/147）和干预后的 42%（66/157）。干预前，有 RSI 病史的放射科医生中，有 17/40（42%）报告称 RSI 引起的症状可能导致倦怠，15/40（37%）表示 RSI 使他们考虑离职。59 名放射科医生中有 23 名（39%）在干预前患有活动性 RSI。干预后，9/25（36%）的 RSI 得到解决，13/25（52%）的 RSI 有所改善，3/25（12%）的 RSI 没有改善。25 名 RSI 得到改善的放射科医生中，19 名（76%）归因于人体工程学干预，2 名（8%）归因于治疗。认为工作站的设计考虑到了健康的放射科医生从 9/59（15%）增加到 52/64（81%）。对人体工程学知识了解甚少或一无所知的放射科医生比例从 15/59（25%）下降到 5/64（8%）。进行人体工程学干预后，更多的放射科医生认为管理层关心安全和人体工程学，设备分配公平，放射科医生有能力要求设备（p<.01）。64 名放射科医生中有 53 名（83%）在干预后表示，改善工作站的人体工程学设计有助于提高健康水平。
放射科的人体工程学改进可以减少 RSI，提高人体工程学知识水平，并改善健康状况。
