This pilot study aims to analyze the factors influencing musculoskeletal discomfort in pregnant workers in Indonesia from occupational aspects, especially during the pandemic, to recommend further interventions and policies for a safer and healthier workplace.
This study was a cross-sectional study. It used an online questionnaire to collect data on individual, occupational, and work environmental factors and musculoskeletal discomfort. We used Chi-square and logistic regression analysis to determine associations between the risk factors and the musculoskeletal discomfort.
A total of 126 women from multiple employment sectors participated. About 59% of respondents reported discomfort, with the majority having pain in the lower back (62.2%). Chi-square analysis revealed that age, history of injury, subjective agility and speed, length of working days in a week, and subjective temperature conformity were associated with the prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort. Logistic regression revealed that age ( = 0.018 and OR = 2.218) and temperature conformity ( = 0.049 and OR = 2.157) were the most significant independent predictors of musculoskeletal discomfort.
This study shows that temperature conformity is a predictor of musculoskeletal discomfort. Employers should consider this when determining whether their workplace is suitable for pregnant women. The treatment of younger workers needs attention, especially during pregnancy, they may need extra accommodation during pregnancy.
本试点研究旨在从职业角度分析影响印度尼西亚孕期工作女性肌肉骨骼不适的因素，尤其是在疫情期间，为营造更安全、更健康的工作场所推荐进一步的干预措施和政策。
本研究为横断面研究。采用在线问卷收集有关个人、职业和工作环境因素以及肌肉骨骼不适的数据。我们使用卡方检验和逻辑回归分析来确定风险因素与肌肉骨骼不适之间的关联。
共有来自多个就业部门的126名女性参与。约59%的受访者报告有不适，其中大多数人下背部疼痛（62.2%）。卡方分析显示，年龄、受伤史、主观敏捷性和速度、每周工作日时长以及主观温度适应性与肌肉骨骼不适的患病率相关。逻辑回归显示，年龄（β = 0.018，OR = 2.218）和温度适应性（β = 0.049，OR = 2.157）是肌肉骨骼不适最显著的独立预测因素。
本研究表明，温度适应性是肌肉骨骼不适的一个预测因素。雇主在确定其工作场所是否适合孕妇时应考虑这一点。年轻员工的待遇需要关注，尤其是在孕期，她们在孕期可能需要额外的照顾。
