Many health changes are related to how individuals respond to work events that are influenced by organizational, physical, and human factors.
We aim to evaluate the mental workload, the manifestation of musculoskeletal disorders, the associated factors, and their relationships among international transport truck drivers.
This is a descriptive, cross-sectional diagnostic study of 70 truck drivers who entered the intermodal terminal of the city of Uruguaiana, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in January 2021. Participants completed the NASA Task Load Index questionnaire and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Symptom Questionnaire, along with questions about work characteristics and health care.
The results showed that most truck drivers have a high mental workload (90.0%) and have experienced musculoskeletal symptoms in the past 12 months (72.9%). In addition, this occupational group has characteristics that are predictive of health problems, as most work over 10 hours a day (61.5%). The results also show a correlation between mental workload, hours worked, and lower back injuries (p < 0.05). There is also an association between hours worked and the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders in the neck, shoulders, and lower back in the past 12 months and in the shoulders and lower back in the past 7 days, especially for those who work over 12 hours a day.
The population studied had a high mental workload and a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders as well as occupational characteristics predictive of harm to both physical and mental health.
许多健康变化与个体对受组织、身体和人为因素影响的工作事件的反应方式有关。
我们旨在评估国际运输卡车司机的心理负荷、肌肉骨骼疾病的表现、相关因素及其相互关系。
这是一项描述性横断面诊断研究，研究对象为2021年1月进入巴西南里奥格兰德州乌拉圭亚纳市多式联运码头的70名卡车司机。参与者完成了美国国家航空航天局任务负荷指数问卷和北欧肌肉骨骼症状问卷，以及关于工作特征和医疗保健的问题。
结果显示，大多数卡车司机心理负荷较高（90.0%），并且在过去12个月中经历过肌肉骨骼症状（72.9%）。此外，这个职业群体具有预示健康问题的特征，因为大多数人每天工作超过10小时（61.5%）。结果还显示心理负荷、工作时长与下背部损伤之间存在相关性（p<0.05）。在过去12个月以及过去7天内，工作时长与颈部、肩部和下背部肌肉骨骼疾病的发生之间也存在关联，尤其是对于那些每天工作超过12小时的人。
所研究的人群心理负荷较高，肌肉骨骼疾病患病率较高，以及具有预示对身心健康有害的职业特征。
