The prevalence and influencing factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders of oilfield workover workers / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) of workover workers in an oilfield and explore the influencing factors.@*Methods@#In June 2016, 685 workover workers were selected as working group, and 191 other workers exposed to toxic and harmful operations were selected as control group. Cross sectional investigation was conducted by self-made questionnaire, and the influencing factors of musculoskeletal disorders were analyzed by unconditional multivariate Logistic regression.@*Results@#The total annual prevalence of WMSDs for workover workers was 90.5%, with the highest prevalence of low back pain of 71.5%. The prevalence of WMSDs increased with the increase of service age, and the difference between the drinkers was higher than that of the non drinkers (P<0.05) . Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that working age, drinking and the posture of lifting heavy objects were risk factors for WMSDs in workover workers.@*Conclusion@#The WMSDs appears to be a serious problem in oilfield workover workers. Corresponding measures should be taken to prevent the risk factors and control the occurrence of diseases effectively.
