Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Tea harvesting is a common agricultural occupation, usually conducted in mountainous regions with steep slopes and high altitudes. Despite the utilization of modern technology and mechanized equipment in agriculture, a substantial portion of tea harvesting continues to be traditional and physically strenuous. This dependence on manual labor can lead to a higher likelihood of musculoskeletal disorders among tea harvesting farmers.
UNASSIGNED: The objective of this research was investigation of prevalence and risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders in tea harvesting farmers.
UNASSIGNED: In this review study, we analyzed all published articles on the prevalence and factors influencing musculoskeletal disorders in tea harvesting farmers from March 10, 2010, to November 10, 2023 (last search date). We systematically searched for articles using keywords (risk factor, risk assessment, lower limb, upper limb, musculoskeletal disorders, tea harvesting, posture, manual handling, discomfort, ergonomics, prevalence, farmers) in PubMed, Google Scholar, SID, Web of Science, Scopus, Magiran, Iran Medex, Cochrane Library, and Embase. The quality of the articles was evaluated using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), 2018 version. Unrelated articles were excluded following PRISMA statement guidelines, and only articles directly related to the study were reviewed. GraySource and BASE databases were also utilized to identify Gray sources..
UNASSIGNED: Initially, 128 articles were found across different databases, and a total of 17 articles were selected for the final assessment. The primary areas of the body that workers are commonly exposed to musculoskeletal issues are the back, hands, wrists, shoulders, neck, and knees. The research identified four main categories of factors: personal, occupational, environmental, and psychosocial that contribute to musculoskeletal problems. Among these factors are women working in physically demanding environments, lifting heavy bags of harvested tea, time pressures during tea collection, repetitive hand motions from using harvesting tools, the height of the tea plants in the field, working in wet and slippery conditions, uneven ground surfaces, extended working hours, low pay, and lack of support from employers.
UNASSIGNED: Ergonomic interventions such as redesigning tea harvesting tools, enhancing tea plants and workspaces, teaching ergonomic principles of body posture and manual movement, and organizing work with job rotation and adequate rest are recommended to alleviate musculoskeletal disorder symptoms.
摘要:
采茶是一种常见的农业职业,通常在有陡坡和高海拔的山区进行。尽管在农业中使用了现代技术和机械化设备,茶的很大一部分收获仍然是传统的和身体上的艰苦。这种对体力劳动的依赖可能导致采茶农民发生肌肉骨骼疾病的可能性更高。
这项研究的目的是调查采茶农民肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率和危险因素。
在本综述研究中,我们分析了2010年3月10日至2023年11月10日(最后搜索日期)所有发表的关于采茶农民肌肉骨骼疾病患病率和影响因素的文章.我们使用关键词系统地搜索文章(风险因素,风险评估,下肢,上肢,肌肉骨骼疾病,采茶,姿势,手动处理,不适,人体工程学,患病率,农民)在PubMed,谷歌学者,SID,WebofScience,Scopus,马吉兰,伊朗Medex,科克伦图书馆,和Embase。使用混合方法评估工具(MMAT)评估文章的质量,2018版本。根据PRISMA声明指南,不相关的文章被排除在外,仅对与本研究直接相关的文章进行了综述。还利用灰色源和BASE数据库来识别灰色源。.
最初,在不同的数据库中找到了128篇文章,共选出17篇文章进行最终评估。工人通常暴露于肌肉骨骼问题的身体主要区域是背部,手,手腕,肩膀,脖子,和膝盖。研究确定了四大类因素:个人,职业,环境,和导致肌肉骨骼问题的社会心理。这些因素包括在体力要求苛刻的环境中工作的妇女,举起沉重的收获茶的袋子,茶收集过程中的时间压力,使用收割工具重复的手部动作,田里茶树的高度,在潮湿和湿滑的条件下工作,不平坦的地面,延长工作时间,低薪,缺乏雇主的支持。
人体工程学干预措施,例如重新设计采茶工具,加强茶树和工作空间,教授人体姿势和手动运动的人体工程学原理,建议通过轮岗和充分休息来组织工作,以减轻肌肉骨骼疾病症状。
