■与工作有关的肌肉骨骼疾病在非正规小型企业的工人中普遍存在。具体来说,腰背痛是各行各业普遍存在的职业健康问题,包括编织工厂。下腰痛显著损害功能,性能,以及织工的生产力。然而,有关BahirDar市和全国织布工中腰痛的患病率和相关因素的信息很少。因此,这项研究旨在评估在BahirDar市工作的织布工中腰痛的患病率和相关因素。
■对BahirDarCity的403名织布工进行了一项基于机构的多中心横断面研究,埃塞俄比亚,2023年4月至5月,使用结构化的面对面访谈问卷。样本按比例分配给每个机构,研究参与者是使用简单随机抽样技术选择的。在验证模型适合性后,采用双变量逻辑回归中P值<0.25的变量进行多变量逻辑回归分析。在多变量逻辑回归分析中,95%置信区间(CI)和P值<0.05的校正比值比(AOR)被认为是确定织布工下背痛的相关因素.
■结果显示,下腰痛的总体年患病率为63.5%(95%CI=58.8-68.5)。更长的工作时间[AOR=2.580(CI=1.517-4.384)],缺乏背部支撑[AOR=1.938(CI=2.089-3.449)],编织过程中背部的重复运动[AOR=5.940(CI=2.709-13.02)],笨拙的姿势[AOR=2.915(CI=1.677-5.065),静态工作姿势[AOR=4.505(CI=2.298-8.831)],工作压力[AOR=3.306(CI=1.896-5.765)]与织布工下背痛显著相关。
■发现织布工中的下背痛非常普遍。工作时间更长,缺少背部支撑,背部的重复运动,尴尬的姿势,静态姿势,在织布工中,工作压力与下背部显着相关。该研究建议对织布工进行及时干预,以确保他们使用坐姿支撑,每天编织<8小时,每2小时改变位置,减少与工作相关的压力,尽量减少任务重复,从而提高他们的工作条件和减少发生的下背痛。
UNASSIGNED: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are widespread among workers of informal small-scale enterprises. Specifically, lower back pain is a prevalent occupational health problem across various industries, including weaving factories. Lower back pain significantly impairs the functioning, performance, and productivity of weavers. However, information on the prevalence and associated factors of low back pain among weavers of Bahir Dar City and nationwide is scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of lower back pain among weavers working in Bahir Dar City.
UNASSIGNED: A multicentered institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 403 weavers in Bahir Dar City, Ethiopia, from April to May 2023 using a structured face-to-face interview questionnaire. Samples were proportionally allocated to each institution, and study participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Variables with a P-value < 0.25 in the bivariate logistic regression were adopted for the multivariate logistic regression analysis after verifying the model fitness. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and a P-value < 0.05 were considered to identify the associated factors of lower back pain among weavers.
UNASSIGNED: The results revealed that the overall annual prevalence of lower back pain was 63.5% (95% CI = 58.8-68.5). Longer working hours [AOR = 2.580 (CI = 1.517-4.384)], lack of back support [AOR = 1.938 (CI = 2.089-3.449)], repetitive movement of the back during weaving [AOR = 5.940 (CI = 2.709-13.02)], awkward posture [AOR = 2.915 (CI = 1.677-5.065), static working posture [AOR = 4.505 (CI = 2.298-8.831)], and job stress [AOR = 3.306 (CI = 1.896-5.765)] were significantly associated with lower back pain among weavers.
UNASSIGNED: Lower back pain among weavers was found to be highly prevalent. Working longer hours, lack of back support, repetitive movement of the back, awkward posture, static posture, and job stress were significantly associated with lower back among weavers. The study recommends prompt interventions on weavers to ensure that they use sitting support, weave for <8 h per day, change positions every 2 h, reduce job-related stress, and minimize task repetition, thereby enhancing their working conditions and minimizing the occurrence of lower back pain.
