To evaluate the association of telework conditions with ergonomic and psychosocial risks and with the occurrence of musculoskeletal problems among employees of the Brazilian Labor Judiciary during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 934 workers from August to October 2021. The data were collected via Web using a self-administrated questionnaire survey. Nonparametric tests and generalized linear regression analysis were used.
Previous experience in telework was associated with a better evaluation of the home workstation, a lower increase in workload, a greater increase in productivity, and greater preference to continue teleworking after the pandemic. The lack of a place dedicated to telework was specially related to greater ergonomic and psychosocial risks and to the greater occurrence of musculoskeletal problems.
Companies should monitor telework conditions to reduce health risks among their employees.
评估在新冠疫情期间,巴西劳动司法部门员工的远程办公条件与人体工程学和心理社会风险以及肌肉骨骼问题发生之间的关联。
本研究于 2021 年 8 月至 10 月开展了一项横断面研究,共纳入了 934 名劳动者。通过网络收集数据,使用自我管理问卷调查。本研究采用了非参数检验和广义线性回归分析。
远程办公的既往经验与更好的家庭工作站评估、工作量增加较少、生产力增加更大以及在大流行后更愿意继续远程办公相关。缺乏专门用于远程办公的地方与更大的人体工程学和心理社会风险以及更大的肌肉骨骼问题发生相关。
企业应监测远程办公条件,以降低员工的健康风险。
