Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: The present study aimed to analyze several aspects of the working conditions and health status of platform workers in the Republic of Korea, such as ergonomic and emotional hazards. We also compared the health status of the platform workers with that of the general population.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 1,000 platform workers participated in this survey from August 7 to August 17, 2022. The participants included 400 designated drivers, 400 food-delivery drivers, and 200 housekeeping managers. A face-to-face survey with a structured questionnaire was conducted by researchers who had received specific instructions. The focus of the survey extended to the work environment, encompassing factors such as workplace violence, as well as physical, chemical, and ergonomic hazards. Health-related data for the previous year were also collected, covering a range of issues such as hearing problems, skin problems, musculoskeletal symptoms, headaches, injuries, mental health issues, and digestive problems. Subsequently, we compared the health symptom data of the responders with those of the general population in the Republic of Korea.
UNASSIGNED: Platform workers, including designated drivers, food-delivery drivers, and housekeeping managers, existed in the blind spot of social insurance, facing frequent exposure to physical and chemical hazards, ergonomic risk factors, and direct or indirect violence. The prevalence of health problems, including musculoskeletal symptoms, general fatigue, and depressive symptoms, in each occupational group was statistically higher than that in the general population after standardization for age and gender.
UNASSIGNED: The results revealed unfavorable working environment and inferior occupational health of platform workers compared with those of the general population.
摘要:
本研究旨在分析大韩民国平台工人的工作条件和健康状况的几个方面,如人体工程学和情感危害。我们还将平台工作人员的健康状况与普通人群的健康状况进行了比较。
从2022年8月7日至8月17日,共有1000名平台工人参加了这项调查。参加者包括400名指定的司机,400个送餐司机,和200个管家。由收到具体说明的研究人员进行了带有结构化问卷的面对面调查。调查的重点延伸到工作环境,包括工作场所暴力等因素,除了身体,化学,和人体工程学的危害。还收集了上一年与健康有关的数据,涵盖了一系列问题,如听力问题,皮肤问题,肌肉骨骼症状,头痛,受伤,心理健康问题,和消化问题。随后,我们将应答者的健康症状数据与大韩民国普通人群的健康症状数据进行了比较.
平台工作人员,包括指定的司机,送餐司机,和家政经理,存在于社会保险的盲点,面对频繁的物理和化学危害,人体工程学危险因素,直接或间接暴力。健康问题的普遍性,包括肌肉骨骼症状,一般疲劳,和抑郁症状,标准化后各职业组的年龄和性别在统计学上高于一般人群。
结果表明,与普通人群相比,平台工人的工作环境不利,职业健康状况较差。
