“…The prevalence of WMSDs in this study was 28.6%, which was lower than that among 7,908 manufacturing workers in Henan and Hubei Provinces, China (10), consistent with that among workers in manufacturing factories in Guangdong Province, China (15). The WMSDs prevalence of the neck, low back, shoulders, and upper back was the highest among all the body parts, which was consistent with other studies (16,17).…”

ObjectiveThe workers in emerging manufacturing are at decreased risk of traditional occupational diseases, while probably at increased risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of WMSDs among emerging manufacturing workers in Beijing.MethodsA total of 3,359 valid questionnaires were collected from 10 enterprises in the electronics, pharmaceutical, and motor manufacturing industries. The prevalence of WMSDs was assessed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. The work posture load was evaluated through a questionnaire.ResultsThe results showed that the highest prevalence of WMSDs was observed in part of the neck (15.0%), followed by the lower back (12.5%), shoulders (11.2%), and upper back (7.1%). Female workers, workers aged older than 35 years, workers with a BMI of ≥28 kg/m2, longer working experience, never exercised had a higher prevalence of WMSDs. Logistic regression analysis showed that female workers, workers aged older than 35 years, with a middle school education and college degree, and workers who never exercised had a higher risk of WMSDs. In addition, workers who sat for long during work, worked hard with upper limbs or hands, worked in uncomfortable postures, and performed repetitive operations were positively related with the increased risk of WMSDs.ConclusionThese findings suggested that WMSDs were prevalent among emerging manufacturing workers in Beijing, China, while efforts should be made to reshape the risk factors associated with WMSDs, such as prolonged sitting, uncomfortable positions, and repetitive operations. Encouraging exercise and promoting ergonomic interventions probably be also benefit to induce the risk of WMSDs.

“…Por lo que, el sedentarismo puede tener un impacto significativo en la salud musculoesquelética, puesto que estar sentado y mantener la espalda en la misma posición durante mucho tiempo no es una posición neutral. De acuerdo con la anatomía del cuerpo humano, los segmentos de la columna cervical, torácica y lumbar comienzan desde el cuello y descienden hasta el hueso de la cola, y la desviación prolongada de la columna de su curvatura normal hace que la extremidad del cuerpo desarrolle una tensión muscular excesiva y tensiones óseas, que pueden contribuir al desarrollo de trastornos musculoesqueléticos relacionados con el trabajo en las áreas del cuello y el tronco (Yang et al, 2022).…”

El estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la prevalencia de los trastornos musculoesqueléticos asociados con el trabajo (TMEAT) de cargos administrativos en oficina nacional de un Ente Gestor de Seguridad Social de Corto Plazo en el Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia. La metodología corresponde a un estudio transversal de 64 funcionarios (30 hombres y 34 mujeres), la recopilación de la información se realizó mediante el Cuestionario Sociodemográfico laboral, el Cuestionario Nórdico de Kuorinka, el Método ROSA, y las Historias Clínicas. Los resultados obtenidos indican que el 59% de la población, presenta sobrepeso y obesidad, además de la ausencia de actividad física en el 61%, elementos que están asociados a los TMEAT, La prevalencia general fue de 68% presentando un riesgo alto, con predominancia del género femenino. Las áreas anatómicas comprometidas son: el cuello que ocupó el primer lugar con un 76.6%, seguida del área lumbar con una presencia del 71.9%, en áreas de muñeca/mano el 50.0% presentan molestas, los hombros con el 42.2% y por último el codo o antebrazo con 39.1%.

“…Sering menempatkan pergelangan tangan di tepi benda keras dan bersudut akan menyebabkan tekanan kontak pada tangan/pergelangan tangan dan siku, sedangkan menekuk pergelangan tangan dalam waktu lama dapat dianggap sebagai proses kontraksi otot, yang akan menyebabkan ketegangan otot pada siku dan pergelangan tangan, dan mengakibatkan iskemia otot. (34) Sering meregangkan atau mengubah postur kaki saat bekerja, menekuk lutut untuk waktu yang lama saat bekerja, dan sering mengulang gerakan yang sama meningkatkan kemungkinan terjadinya gejala MSDs pada pekerja. (35) Hasil observasi di lapangan didapat bahwa pekerja bongkar muat di Pelabuhan Jayapura mempunyai sistem kerja yang mana pekerja yang sudah bekerja dibulan pertama tidak akan bekerja dibulan berikutnya, sampai dengan 8 bulan baru akan kembali bekerja.…”

Latar belakang: Aktivitas bongkar muat memakai bantuan tenaga manusia dengan melaksanakan pemindahan barang menuju gudang atau kapal penyimpanan menggunakan kendaraan pengangkut barang. Pekerjaan dengan sikap bekerja yang statis sangat memberikan potensi untuk mempercepat munculnya keluhan musculoskeletal disorders. Tujuan dari kegiatan meneliti ini guna melihat serta mencari tahu apa saja faktor yang berkaitan terhadap keluhan musculoskeletal disorders kepada para pekerja bongkar muat pada Pelabuhan Jayapura.Metode: Desain kegiatan meneliti ini ialah deskriptif analitik yang menggunakan pendekatan cross sectional study. Sampel dalam kegiatan meneliti ini sebanyak 49 pekerja bongkar muat (TBKM) dengan teknik pengambilan sampel total sampling. Kriteria inklusi adalah TKBM dibagian pengangkutan dan pembongkaran peti kemas (container) dan jadwal bekerja setiap hari (senin-minggu), kriteria ekslusi adalah tidak bersedia menjadi responden. Pengukuran keluhan musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) menggunakan kuesioner Nordic Body Map, gerak berulang menggunakan stopwatch dan pengumpulan data seperti umur, masa kerja, durasi kerja dan kebiasaan merokok memakai sebuah kuesioner. Analisis data memakai pengujian chi square dengan taraf signifikan 95% (p <0,05).Hasil: Analisis univariat dari 49 pekerja, ada 24 pekerja (49%) merasakan keluhan MSDs tingkat sedang, umur ˂35 tahun sebanyak 26 pekerja (53%), masa kerja ≥5 tahun sebanyak 33 pekerja (67%), durasi kerja ˃8 jam sebanyak 38 pekerja (78%), kebiasaan merokok sebanyak 49 pekerja (100%), dan gerak berulang≥10 gerakan/menit sebanyak 26 pekerja (53%). Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukan ada sebuah keterkaitan antara keluhan MSDs terhadap usia (p-value 0,000) serta masa kerja (p-value 0,000) sedangkan variabel yang tidak berkaitan dengan keluhan MSDs ialah durasi kerja (p-value 0,897) serta gerak berulang (p-value 0,071). Simpulan: Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan masa kerja serta usia berhubungan terhadap keluhan MSDs. ABSTRACTTitle: Factors Related of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Loading and Unloading Workers at the Port of Jayapura CityBackground:Loading and unloading activities use human assistance by moving goods from ships or storage warehouses to goods transport vehicles. Jobs with a static work attitude have the potential to accelerate musculoskeletal disorders. This study aims to determine the factors associated with complaints of musculoskeletal disorders in loading and unloading workers at the Port of Jayapura.Method:The design of this research is descriptive analytic with cross sectional study approach. The research sample consisted of 49 loading and unloading workers (TBKM) with a total sampling technique. The inclusion criteria were TKBM in the transport and unloading of containers and the work schedule every day (Monday-Sunday), the exclusion criteria were not willing to be a respondent. Measuring complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) using the Nordic Body Map questionnaire, repetitive motion using a stopwatch and collecting data such as age, years of service, duration of work and smoking habits using a questionnaire. Data analysis used the chi square test with a significant level of 95% (p <0,05).Result:Univariate analysis of 49 workers, 24 workers (49%) felt moderate MSDs complaints, 26 workers (53%) were aged ˂35 years, 33 workers (67%) had worked ≥5 years, worked ˃8 hours 38 workers (78%), smoking habits of 49 workers (100%), and repetitive motion ≥10 movements/minute of 26 workers (53%). The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between MSDs complaints and age (p-value 0,000) and years of service (p-value 0,000) while the variables not related to MSDs complaints were work duration (p-value 0,897) and repetitive motion (p-value 0,071).Conclusion: The variables associated with MSDs complaints are age and years of service, while the duration of work and repetitive activities are not associated with MSDs complaints.
