“…After eliminating studies that did not meet the selection criteria, 28 studies were included for methodologic quality assessment. When two papers reported on the same intervention, they were analyzed as one study, as was the case for Haukka et al (47,48), Driessen et al (49,50) and the papers by Ronald et al (51) and Chhokar et al (52). One article by Faucett et al (53) reported two distinct studies, and these were analyzed separately.…”

Little was known about the effectiveness of organizational or psychosocial work interventions to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). We found moderate evidence of the effectiveness of supplementary rest breaks. We also identify key elements of ergonomic interventions lacking in the interventions reviewed that, if integrated into future studies and shown to be effective, may lead to advances in MSD prevention.

“…Age (continuous), as well as study arm (intervention/control group), and organizational reforms (no/yes) were considered in all analyses because the core study on which the current analyses were based had a randomized design (17), and in two of the participating cities, reorganization of foodservice was implemented during the study period (24).…”

Predictors of sickness absence related to musculoskeletal pain: a two-year follow-up study of workers in municipal kitchens by Haukka E, Kaila-Kangas L, Luukkonen R, Takala E-P, Viikari-Juntura E, Leino-Arjas P We identified three distinct trajectories of sickness absence (SA) due to musculoskeletal pain among female kitchen workers during two years. Depressive symptoms, musculoskeletal diseases, and multisite pain predicted belonging to a trajectory of high and increasing SA, while multisite pain, smoking, and overweight or obesity predicted belonging to a trajectory of intermediate occurrence of SA.

Predictors of sickness absence related to musculoskeletal pain: a two-year follow-up study of workers in municipal kitchens. Scand J Work Environ Health. 2014;40(3):278-286. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3415 AffiliationObjective We studied predictors of sickness absences (SA) due to musculoskeletal pain over two years among 386 municipal female kitchen workers.Methods Pain and SA periods (no/yes) due to pain in seven sites during the past three months were assessed at 3-month intervals over two years by questionnaire. Age, musculoskeletal pain, multisite pain (pain in ≥3 sites), musculoskeletal and other somatic diseases, depressive symptoms, physical and psychosocial workload, body mass index, smoking, and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) at baseline were considered as predictors. Trajectory analysis and multinomial logistic regression were used.Results Three trajectories of SA emerged, labelled as "none" (41% of the subjects), "intermediate" (48%), and "high" (11%). With the "none" trajectory (no SA) as reference, pain in all musculoskeletal sites excepting the low back predicted belonging to the "intermediate" [odds ratio (OR) 1.82-2.48] or "high" (OR 2.56-3.74) trajectory adjusted for age; multisite pain predicted membership of the "intermediate" [OR 2.15, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.38-3.34] or "high" (OR 4.66, 95% CI 2.10-10.3) trajectories. In a mutually adjusted final model, smoking (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.22-3.69), multisite pain (OR 1.87, 95% CI 1.15-3.02), and overweight/obesity (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.08-2.72) predicted belonging to the "intermediate" trajectory, while depressive symptoms (OR 3.57, 95% CI 1.57-8.10), musculoskeletal diseases (OR 3.18, 95% CI 1.37-7.37), and multisite pain (OR 2.72, 95% CI 1.15-6.40) were associated with the "high" trajectory. ConclusionAlong with the number of pain sites and musculoskeletal diseases, attention to depressive symptoms, smoking, and overweight/obesity is needed to tackle SA related to musculoskeletal pain.

R E S U M O ObjetivoAnalisar as situações de trabalho em serviço de nutrição hospitalar, antes e depois da implantação de ações de intervenções ergonômicas, e seu impacto na prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares relacionados ao trabalho. MétodosTrata-se de estudo de caso desenvolvido em hospital público especializado em cardiologia, localizado em São Paulo, com a participação de 115 trabalhadores. A abordagem metodológica foi a da Análise Ergonômica do Trabalho e da ergonomia participativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio da aplicação de questionários e da análise ergonômica do trabalho, antes e depois da intervenção. A análise dos dados incluiu testes estatísticos para verificar se houve mudança da prevalência de sintomas antes e depois das intervenções, com nível de significância de 5%, por meio dos Programas Statistical Package for Social Sciences 13.0 e Excel 2003. ResultadosA população constitui-se, em sua maioria, de mulheres, na faixa etária de 25 a 34 anos, com grau médio de escolaridade, casadas, com filhos, e que ocupavam o cargo de atendente de nutrição. Os principais problemasRev. Nutr., Campinas, 24(3):449-462, maio/jun., 2011 Revista de Nutrição observados foram espaço físico reduzido, equipamentos e materiais de trabalho inadequados, deficit de pessoal, volume excessivo de trabalho com elevado esforço mental e alta prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares, principalmente nos membros inferiores e ombros. Após as intervenções realizadas, houve melhora na situação de trabalho, com redução dos sintomas osteomusculares, bem como os profissionais perceberam mudanças em termos de ambiente físico, equipamentos e organização do trabalho. ConclusãoAs intervenções repercutiram em melhorias, principalmente quanto ao ambiente e equipamentos, e na redução dos sintomas osteomusculares nos membros inferiores, ombros, pescoço/região cervical, antebraço e região lombar, apesar de a redução não ter sido estatisticamente significativa. Termos de indexação: A B S T R A C T Objective This study analyzed the working conditions of a hospital food service before and after ergonomic interventions and their impact on the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms. Methods This case study was performed in a public heart hospital in
