“…In a study by Roshani et al, it was concluded that the prevalence of MSDs was higher especially in the regions of lower back, shoulder, and neck that is in consistency with the findings of the present study (39). There was also a significant relationship between MWL and MSDs, which is consistent with the results of the study by Darvishi et al (40). The results of this study showed a direct relationship between work experience with MSDs and increasing MWL, which is consistent with the results of the study by Ganbari et al (41).…”

Article Info Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the most common work-related illnesses, which lead to high costs and a reduction in labor productivity. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between MSDs with mental workload (MWL) and occupational fatigue among the office staff of a communication service in Tehran, Iran, in 2017. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 94 staff of a communication service company in June 2017. The data collection tools included Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA), NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) questionnaire and Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory (SOFI). Data analysis conducted using descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA test in SPSS software. Results: 73% of the participants were women with mean age of 28.25 ± 3.40 years and the remaining participants were men with mean age of 26.91 ± 4.60 years. According to the results of the Nordic questionnaire, the highest pain was observed in the neck (65.94%) during the last year. According to the results of the ROSA, 71% of the participants were at the warning risk level and the need for ergonomic interventions. In addition, the relationship between occupational fatigue and its subscales with MSDs was significant in all cases (P < 0.001). Finally According to the results, the participants' MWL was high. Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that high workload and occupational fatigue cause MSDs, and intervention is necessary in these individuals.

“…Non-ergonomic conditions of the work environment and incorrect conditions of the body during the work had caused high levels of MSDs. The discrepancy of results observed in different studies can be explained by the differences in factors such as age range, gender, sample size and work experience (29,30). Corrective measures are therefore required to lower the high risk associated with these disorders.…”

Background: Given that evaluating and diagnosing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) is an important step towards preventing labor disorders, The present study was conducted to determine the degree of MSDs in tailors in the city of Kermanshah, Iran. Methods: The present descriptive, analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted in winter 2018 on 150 randomly-selected tailors in the city of Kermanshah. The status of neck, waist, shoulder, wrist, ankle, hip, knee and elbow was evaluated using the Nordic questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed in SPSS using Spearman's correlation coefficient. Results: The mean age of the tailors was 41.9 ± 13.1 years. A total of 59.33 % of the tailors were male, and the men and women were significantly different in terms of MSDs (P < 0.05). A weekly study reported neck, shoulder, waist, wrists, elbows, thighs, knees and ankles disorders to involve 49.7%, 41.6%, 55%, 40%, 11.4%, 25%, 43.6% and 42.66% of the tailors, respectively. The most prevalent injuries recorded in an annual examination were respectively associated with the waist (65.33%), neck (64.66%) and shoulder (56%). In the previous year, 52% of the samples had suffered from pain and discomfort in at least one of the eight areas cited. Conclusions: The results of the present study found marital status, working hours and exercise to be the most significant variables affecting MSDs in the tailors. MSDs were found to be highly prevalent in especially the upper extremity of the sewing profession population. Optimizing the working condition of tailors is therefore crucial.

Praca w pozycji siedzącej, mimo że nie wymaga dużego wysiłku fizycznego, wykonywana przez długi czas i w niewłaściwy sposób może powodować dolegliwości układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego. Są one problemem powszechnym w populacji osób pracujących. W artykule przedstawiono analizę wybranego piśmiennictwa dotyczącego występowania dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych u operatorów komputerowych. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na ich klasyfikację i przyczyny. Omówiono także najnowsze doniesienia dotyczące ich występowania i kosztów, jakie generują, wpływając na niezdolność pracownika do pracy oraz jego absencję chorobową.
