Factors associated with the mining environment can contribute to work accidents and reduced caution at work, which may affect the quality of life and work capacity of miners.
To evaluate if fatigue influences quality of life and work capacity in miners with silicosis.
This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Northern Region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Sociodemographic data and data on fatigue, work capacity, and quality of life were collected during the second half of 2017 and first half of 2018.
All participants were men. Mean participant age was 52.6 (± 7.2) years, and most (70.4%) of them did not finish elementary school. The strongest correlations were found between the physical, overall, and total fatigue domains and the World Health Organization Quality of Life - BREF and between the total and mental fatigue domains and the Work Ability Index. Strong correlations were also found between overall and total fatigue and the total St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire score.
Silicosis and physical workload have a negative impact on respiratory quality of life and perception of fatigue among miners.
与采矿环境相关的因素可能导致工作事故并降低工作时的警觉性，这可能会影响矿工的生活质量和工作能力。
评估疲劳是否会影响矽肺病矿工的生活质量和工作能力。
这是一项在巴西南里奥格兰德州北部地区进行的横断面研究。在2017年下半年和2018年上半年收集了社会人口统计学数据以及关于疲劳、工作能力和生活质量的数据。
所有参与者均为男性。参与者的平均年龄为52.6（±7.2）岁，其中大多数（70.4%）未完成小学学业。在身体、总体和总疲劳领域与世界卫生组织生活质量简表之间以及在总疲劳和精神疲劳领域与工作能力指数之间发现了最强的相关性。在总体和总疲劳与圣乔治呼吸问卷总分之间也发现了强相关性。
矽肺病和体力劳动负荷对矿工的呼吸生活质量和疲劳感有负面影响。
