This study aimed to examine the association between two types of heavy work investment, workaholism and work engagement, and low back pain prevalence.
We conducted a paper-based survey of Japanese hospital workers. The Dutch Workaholism Scale (DUWAS) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) were used to classify the participants into four groups and perform multiple logistic regression analyses.
Among 699 participants, the group with low DUWAS and high UWES at 37.1% had the lowest low back pain prevalence. In order, the groups with low DUWAS and UWES were at 51.7%; those with high DUWAS and UWES, 58.5%; and those with high DUWAS and low UWES, 62.4%, with multivariate-adjusted odds ratios of 1.77, 2.01, and 2.33, respectively.
Low back pain prevalence among Japanese hospital workers was reduced by high levels of work engagement, even at high levels of workaholism.
本研究旨在探讨两种高强度工作投入类型,工作狂和工作投入,与腰痛患病率之间的关系。
我们对日本医院工作人员进行了基于纸张的调查。使用荷兰工作狂量表(DUWAS)和乌得勒支工作投入量表(UWES)将参与者分为四组,并进行多项逻辑回归分析。
在 699 名参与者中,低 DUWAS 和高 UWES 的比例为 37.1%的组腰痛患病率最低。其次是低 DUWAS 和 UWES 的组,占 51.7%;高 DUWAS 和 UWES 的组,占 58.5%;高 DUWAS 和低 UWES 的组,占 62.4%,多变量调整后的优势比分别为 1.77、2.01 和 2.33。
即使在高度工作狂的情况下,日本医院工作人员的腰痛患病率也会因高水平的工作投入而降低。
