Musculoskeletal complaints in dental hygienists all employed by the National Dental Service in a Swedish county were evaluated with a standardized questionnaire.
During an ergonomics course, a questionnaire similar to standardized Nordic questionnaires was completed by all 28 participants. The questionnaire elicited demographic data and the presence and location of musculoskeletal complaints. Standard descriptive statistical methods were used to analyze the data.
Subjects were all women, with a mean age of 40 years and a mean time of employment of five years. Most respondents worked part-time (mean 80%). Neck and shoulder complaints showed a clear predominance over other locations. Sixty-two percent of the subjects reported complaints associated with the neck and 81% with one or both shoulders during the previous 12 months. The frequency of complaints was higher on the right side.
Most neck, shoulder, arm, and back complaints were considered work-related according to the dental hygienists themselves. The frequency of lower extremity complaints was low, and only a few of these complaints were considered work-related.
采用标准化问卷对瑞典一个县国家牙科服务机构雇佣的所有牙科保健员的肌肉骨骼问题进行评估。
在一次人体工程学课程期间，28名参与者均完成了一份与标准化北欧问卷类似的问卷。该问卷收集了人口统计学数据以及肌肉骨骼问题的存在情况和部位。使用标准描述性统计方法分析数据。
受试者均为女性，平均年龄40岁，平均工作年限5年。大多数受访者为兼职工作（平均80%）。颈部和肩部问题明显多于其他部位。在过去12个月中，62%的受试者报告有颈部相关问题，81%的受试者报告有一侧或双侧肩部相关问题。右侧问题的发生率更高。
根据牙科保健员自身的情况，大多数颈部、肩部、手臂和背部问题被认为与工作有关。下肢问题的发生率较低，其中只有少数问题被认为与工作有关。
