Abstract

Background: The identification of the RISK FACTORS for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) is the first step in designing effective preventive interventions.Objectives: To investigate the association between individual, organizational, physical, and psychological factors and upper extremity MSDs (i.e., SHOULDER, ELBOW and HAND/wrist).Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the study population was comprised of office workers from Qom Province, Iran. Of the 1630 Iranian office workers who were selected via a random multistage cluster sampling method, 1488 completed a comprehensive data collection form designed to investigate the individual, organizational, physical, and psychological factors related to MSDs (response rate: 91.3%).Results: The predictors of SHOULDER MSDs in the past 12 months were uncomfortable sitting posture (b=0.42, P=0.04), limited rest breaks (b=0.73, P=0.012), and no access to adjustable desks (b=0.43, P=0.018). Working on a computer for more than five hours (b=0.61, P=0.004) and an uncomfortable sitting posture (b=0.79, P=0.001) predicted HAND/wrist symptoms.Conclusions: Various RISK FACTORS in the workplace may contribute to MSDs in different upper extremities. Preventive interventions should hence include ergonomic and office equipment modifications.
