“…Moreover, focusing on female workers, they face dilemmas in balancing careers, family life, and social expectations in most occupations, including cabin crew and nurses, leading to emotional exhaustion. 8 , 38 Regardless of pressures from work, female workers are also likely to experience depressive symptoms in daily life, causing chronic musculoskeletal discomfort and interfering with their life quality. 11 Especially for those with childcare, they can be very stressful, and caring for children is a significant risk factor for musculoskeletal problems in the neck and shoulders.…”

Objectives: This study investigated the prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort among female cabin crew through cabin tasks and demographic factors, including age and seniority. Methods:This study conducted an online questionnaire survey targeted at female cabin crew in Taiwan and ensured that the sample size was with a statistical power of 0.95. This study evaluated the work intensity by ranking six common cabin tasks and examined musculoskeletal discomfort with Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to learn the work intensity and discomfort conditions. In addition, the Chi-square test of independence and multivariate adjustment were applied to clarify the impact of age and occupation on musculoskeletal discomfort in the neck, shoulders, and lower back.Results: This study enrolled 88 female cabin crew members. Handling carryon baggage was voted as the highest intensity cabin task (40%), which was also ranked as the strongest intensity on shoulders. Meanwhile, the upper trunk was more prevalent in musculoskeletal discomfort. Moreover, after multivariate adjustment with controlling the effect of age, this study found a marginal significant association (p = .09) between seniority and right shoulder discomfort for younger staff. Conclusion:This study found that handling carry-on baggage was associated with musculoskeletal complaints in the shoulders. Therefore, this study suggested that shoulders, especially for the right side might be related to the occupational injury, which was prevalent along with seniority among the younger crew.Overall, this study provided the preliminary findings to improve occupational training for preventive health.

“…Several recent studies in Vietnam showed the high prevalence of MSDs in general [ 7 ] and of multiple musculoskeletal symptoms (MMS) [ 8 ] with the abundance of risk factors in hospital nurses. Another study has shown a negative impact of MSDs at multiple sites on the quality of life of nurses [ 9 ].…”

Background. Nurses are one of the population groups with the highest prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Preventive measures in Vietnamese hospitals on the job have not been proposed to study their effectiveness due to barriers related to the lack of knowledge about MSDs by health care administrators and the lack of human resources with expertise in MSD management in hospitals. Objectives. This study is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of basic interventions (education, physical exercise) to prevent MSDs among district hospital nurses in Vietnam. Material and Methods. A quasi-experimental study was carried out before/after over a period of one year among two groups of nurses, one receiving the intervention ( n = 162 ) and the other the control group ( n = 128 ). The intervention includes 3 components: training on MSDs, ergonomics training, and instructions for physical exercise. The pre- and postintervention assessment tools included the Modified Nordic, Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Short-Form (Q-LES-Q-SF), and the Kessler Psychological Distress Questionnaire (K6). A generalized estimating equation analysis was performed to assess the difference between the two groups at two points in time (before and after the intervention) on some indicators (prevalence of MSDs in the last 12 months and 7 days, score for quality of life and psychological distress). Results. There was a significant difference of the test on the prevalence of MSDs in the last 7 days between the 2 groups before and after the intervention with the p value = 0.016 . This difference occurred in 4 anatomical sites: neck, shoulder/upper arm, wrists/hand, and lower back, with p values being 0.013, 0.011, 0.038, and 0.009, respectively. Conclusions. The intervention measures are probably effective in reducing the prevalence of MSDs at 4 anatomical sites in the last 7 days. More in-depth studies are needed with a combination of measures over a longer period of time to obtain stronger evidence of interventions.

Background: Workers in the wood industry are professions that receive daily physical burdens with risk of experiencing musculoskeletal complaints. Musculoskeletal pain is common and causes mild or severe disability in workers/labor. Musculoskeletal complaints can be caused by individual factors such as age, gender, and occupational factors such as length of time and work experience. Quality of life is an individual's perception and emotional response to the individual's position in life including physical, mental health, social relationships and the environment. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between pain intensity of musculoskeletal complaints and the quality of life of workers/laborers in Telukan, Sukoharjo. Methods: This is a non-experimental quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted at UD. X in Telukan, Sukoharjo. The sample population of this research consisted of 30 samples. The sampling technique was carried out with a total sampling of 30 samples. Methods of collecting data by interview and filling out questionnaires using the instrument Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref). Analysis of the data used is the Spearman Rank test. Results: The results of the analysis of the hypothesis test data were obtained r=0.542 and ρ value = 0.002 of the value (α) 0.05, which means ρ value <0.05 so that the results have a significant relationship between the pain intensity of musculoskeletal complaints and the quality of life of wood workers. Conclusion: Pain intensity of musculoskeletal complaints has a negative correlation with quality of life of wood workers in Telukan, Sukoharjo Keywords: Pain Intensity, Musculoskeletal Complaints, Quality of Life, Workers
