The purpose of the present study was to investigate occupational health problems relating to the hands of car mechanics. A descriptive study was performed among all car mechanics in 22 car repair shops using a self-administered questionnaire. In total, 172 car mechanics returned the questionnaire (92%). Fourteen per cent reported occurrence of white fingers, 24% reported occurrence of paresthesias in hands or arms, 41% reported that dry skin on their hands was often a problem, 46% reported occurrence of hand eczema, and 28% had experienced more than 20 cuts on the hands in the past year. A significant relationship was found between the occurrence of hand eczema and employment for less than 14 years as a car mechanic. This was also found for occurrence of white fingers and cuts on the hands. Further surveillance of the working environment among car mechanics seems to be required.
本研究的目的是调查与汽车修理工手部相关的职业健康问题。采用自填式问卷对22家汽车修理店的所有汽车修理工进行了描述性研究。共有172名汽车修理工返回了问卷（92%）。14%的人报告出现过白指，24%的人报告手部或手臂出现过感觉异常，41%的人报告手部皮肤干燥经常是个问题，46%的人报告出现过手部湿疹，28%的人在过去一年中手部有过20多处割伤。发现手部湿疹的发生与从事汽车修理工工作少于14年之间存在显著关系。白指和手部割伤的情况也如此。似乎需要对汽车修理工的工作环境进行进一步监测。
