Workers performing cleaning duties experience higher injury rates, especially in the form of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), than other industries. It is essential to understand the inherent risks associated with the nature of this occupation. Based on the Balance Theory (Smith & Carayon-Sainfort, 1989), this review surveys the current literature, especially those published since the previous review paper (Kumar & Kumar, 2008), and identifies which elements contributing to MSD risks were examined: task, technology, organization, environment, individual, and their interactions. Thirty-nine research papers published between 2005 and 2021 are identified and summarized. Among these papers, task and individual elements received the most attention, at 42 and 34 occurrences, respectively. The interaction elements of technology-organization, technology-environment, and organization-environment received less than three mentions. The goal of this literature review is to update the knowledge base and identify current trends for the cleaning occupation. Possible interventions for risk reduction and future research directions are suggested.
与其他行业相比,从事清洁工作的工人受伤率更高,尤其是以肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD)的形式。了解与该职业性质相关的固有风险至关重要。基于平衡理论(Smith & Carayon-Sainfort,1989),本综述调查了当前文献,特别是自上一篇综述论文(Kumar & Kumar,2008)发表以来的文献,并确定了哪些导致MSD风险的因素得到了研究:任务、技术、组织、环境、个体及其相互作用。对2005年至2021年间发表的39篇研究论文进行了识别和总结。在这些论文中,任务和个体因素受到的关注最多,分别出现了42次和34次。技术-组织、技术-环境和组织-环境的相互作用因素被提及的次数少于三次。本文献综述的目的是更新知识库,并确定清洁职业的当前趋势。提出了可能的风险降低干预措施和未来研究方向。
