INCIDENCE OF SHOULDER AND BACK PAIN AND WORK STRESS IN ELECTRONICS ASSEMBLY INDUSTRIAL WORKERS
Keywords:
incidence rate, shoulder pain, back pain, work stress, electronic workerAbstract
This prospective cohort research aimed to study the incidence rate of shoulder and back pain and work stress from the mental workload in electronics worker. Data was collected by the structured interview questionnaire of Subjective Workload Index (SWI), and the follow-up interview to assess the incidence of shoulder pain and back pain and correlation between shoulder and back pain in 3 months and stress from mental workload from a total of 109 workers. The results found that the majority of workers had stress from their mental workload at a moderate level of 50.5% followed by mild stress 23.9% and very high stress 16.5%, respectively. The incidence rate of shoulder pain in 1 month was 28.4%, the 2 months incidence was 52.3%, and the 3 months incidence was 85.3%. The incidence rate of back pain in one month was 22.0%, the 2-month incidence was 43.1%, the 3-month incidence was 62.4%, and the incidence reached 100% after 6 months. The information obtained can be used as a guideline for planning operations to prevent chronic diseases of shoulder pain and back pain in electronic workers, and stress factors from workers' work may impact on musculoskeletal health or as a factor-related to development of chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
