“…In Sweden approximately 23 % of workers report neck pain during the last three months. Of those reporting neck pain 63 % were women [51]. It has been shown that having neck pain is one risk factor for developing long-term sick leave [32].…”

“…Various risk factors for sickness absence, apart from disease, have been explored and identified, including old age, being a woman, low socioeconomic status, poor self-rated health and previous history of sickness absence [88,89]. Factors at work, such as non-strenuous work and recuperation, have both been linked to lower levels of sickness absence and higher work ability [51,90,91].…”

Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders, which causes sickness absence and early retirement. Manual labor, awkward postures and repetitive work are commonly reported as causes for work-related neck disorders. Both neck pain and heavy physical work have been linked to lower levels of work ability. The overall aim of this thesis was to gain knowledge of how work demands can influence the work ability and sickness absence of workers with neck and upper extremity disorders, and also investigate a method that measures work demands. One cross-sectional study, two longitudinal studies and one experimental study were included in this thesis. Papers I-III uses material from Statistics Sweden (SCB) "Work environment" and "Work related disorders" surveys. Sickness absence data from the Longitudinal integration database for health insurance and labor market studies (LISA) database were also used in these studies. The relationship between exposure to work demands (high or low) or work place interventions (yes or no) were compared to work ability or sickness absence. Paper IV investigated the inter-rater reliability of the summary scores and individual items of a method to measure work demands, the Quick Exposure Check (QEC), by comparing two simultaneous assessments of 51 work tasks. The results showed that a lower level of physically demanding work and having high control over ones work can result in lower levels of sickness absence and promote excellent work ability for workers with neck pain, especially among older workers (Papers I, II). In Paper III it was found that work place interventions that improves neck pain were associated with fewer number of sickness absence days. Paper IV found that the QEC has good reliability in total scores but a few of the individual items showed low reliability. The results from this thesis can be used in different work settings, to promote work ability and prevent sickness absence by employers and occupational healthcare professionals.

“…Em um estudo com indivíduos com dor cervical, foi relatado que trabalhadores que estavam mais expostos a exigências físicas e duradouras provocavam estresse nos sistemas cardiovascular e musculoesquelético, o que estava relacionado a um maior grau de incapacidade ou desvantagem 26 . Essa poderia ser uma explicação para a associação encontrada no presente estudo entre a capacidade para o trabalho e o domínio dor física do OHIP-14, mesmo após ter sido controlada por variáveis sociodemográficas e de autopercepção.…”

Resumo Introdução Trabalhadores ativos constituem uma parcela importante da população que demanda os serviços de saúde. O estudo da relação entre saúde bucal e trabalho visa à melhoria da qualidade de vida e do desempenho profissional. Objetivo associar a capacidade para o trabalho com a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal de técnicos administrativos em educação de uma instituição de ensino superior de Minas Gerais. Método estudo transversal com 833 funcionários, com os quais foram coletados dados de identificação, socioeconômicos, demográficos, autopercepção e morbidade em saúde bucal. O impacto da saúde bucal na qualidade de vida foi avaliado pelo Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), e a capacidade de trabalho, pelo Índice de Capacidade para o Trabalho (ICT). Os dados foram analisados pelos testes Mann-Whitney e coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. Resultados 83% dos entrevistados possuíam ótima ou boa capacidade para o trabalho. Houve correlação positiva e significativa da autopercepção da saúde bucal com a autopercepção da saúde geral (p < 0,001) e negativa com o ICT (p = 0,026). Na análise de regressão, ICT total permaneceu significativo para o domínio dor física do OHIP-14. Conclusão capacidade para o trabalho foi associada ao domínio dor física. Condições sociodemográficas e de autopercepção também impactaram na qualidade de vida associada à saúde bucal.
