The COVID-19 pandemic compelled changes to the structure and organization of many occupational sectors that may impact workers' well-being and work-related symptoms.
Evaluate the effects of working modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic on occupational health outcomes and work ability (WA) among a large group of Italian banking employees.
2,859 employees visited during health surveillance in 2021 were divided into two job groups: front-office (FO) and back-office workers (BO). Data on conditions associated with office work, psychological distress, WA, and fitness-to-work judgment were analyzed and compared with available data from the pre-pandemic period (2018-2019).
The prevalence of analyzed outcomes was lower than in pre- and post-COVID evaluation literature. After COVID-19, a 28% increase in asthenopin was found in BO, while musculoskeletal symptoms increased about 22% in BO and 9% in FO. Post-COVID showed a 28% rise in stress-related symptoms and a 17% increase in psychotropic drug consumption in both groups. After the lockdown, the prevalence of moderate/poor scores decreased by 13% in each group. Fitness-to-work judgment without limitations prevalence was unchanged.
The slight worsening in all examined outcomes at post-lockdown evaluation and the outcomes' prevalence consistently lower than the literature data could be linked to the measures the Institute took to support employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, a comprehensive integration between occupational safety and health promotion practices is recommended to ensure the highest level of safeguarding for workers' well-being.
新冠疫情迫使许多职业部门的结构和组织发生变化，这可能会影响工人的健康和与工作相关的症状。
评估与新冠疫情相关的工作变动对一大群意大利银行员工的职业健康结果和工作能力（WA）的影响。
将2021年健康监测期间走访的2859名员工分为两个工作组：前台（FO）和后台工作人员（BO）。分析与办公室工作、心理困扰、工作能力和工作适应性判断相关的条件数据，并与疫情前时期（2018 - 2019年）的可用数据进行比较。
分析结果的患病率低于新冠疫情前后评估文献中的患病率。新冠疫情后，后台工作人员的疲劳症患病率增加了28%，而后台工作人员的肌肉骨骼症状增加了约22%，前台工作人员增加了9%。新冠疫情后，两组与压力相关的症状增加了28%，精神药物消费量增加了17%。封锁结束后，每组中/差分数的患病率下降了13%。无限制的工作适应性判断患病率没有变化。
封锁后评估中所有检查结果的轻微恶化以及结果的患病率始终低于文献数据，这可能与该机构在新冠疫情期间为支持员工所采取的措施有关。在这种情况下，建议将职业安全与健康促进实践全面整合，以确保为员工的健康提供最高水平的保障。
