This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of three characteristics of work break organization, namely skipping work breaks, interruptions of work breaks, and meal break duration, and their relationships with physical and mental health. We used data from the BAuA-Working Time Survey 2017, a representative workforce survey in Germany, and restricted the sample to 5979 full-time employees. Logistic regression analyses were conducted with in total five health complaints as dependent variables: back pain and low back pain, pain in the neck and shoulder region, general tiredness, faintness, or fatigue, physical exhaustion, and emotional exhaustion. Many employees often skipped their work breaks (29%) and experienced break interruptions (16%). Frequent skipping of work breaks was significantly positively, that is detrimentally, related to all five health complaints and frequent interruptions of work breaks also, except for neck and shoulder pain. Meal break duration was significantly negatively, that is beneficially, related to physical exhaustion.
本研究旨在调查三种工作休息组织特征（即跳过工作休息、工作休息中断和用餐休息时间）的流行程度及其与身心健康的关系。我们使用了德国代表性劳动力调查——BAuA 工作时间调查 2017 年的数据，并将样本限制在 5979 名全职员工中。使用总共五种健康抱怨作为因变量进行逻辑回归分析：背痛和下背痛、颈部和肩部疼痛、一般性疲劳、头晕或疲劳、身体疲惫和情绪疲惫。许多员工经常跳过工作休息时间（29%）并经历休息中断（16%）。频繁跳过工作休息时间与所有五种健康抱怨显著正相关，即不利相关，而频繁中断工作休息时间则与除颈部和肩部疼痛以外的所有五种健康抱怨显著正相关。用餐休息时间与身体疲惫显著负相关，即有益相关。
