Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the ergonomic risk for the working posture of textile sector workers and to examine the connection between musculoskeletal system disease. Methods: In the study of 131 volunteer textile workers, demographic and identificatory data of the participants were recorded. The ergonomic risk of working posture was evaluated by Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). Frequency, severity and, effects of musculoskeletal disorders on working capacity were questioned with Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ) during a whole week. Results: When data was analyzed, the workers were found to be at high risk. Average CMDQ value was found to be 220. It was revealed that there was a low moderate positive correlation between REBA and CMDQ scores (p<0.001, rho=0.33). Conclusion: As the working posture of individuals becomes risky, their exposure to musculoskeletal disorders also increases.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, tekstil sektöründeki işçilerin çalışma postürünün ergonomik riskini belirlemek ve kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlığı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Yöntem: 131 gönüllü tekstil işçisinin katılımı ile yapılan çalışmada, katılımcıların demografik ve tanımlayıcı bilgileri kaydedildi. Çalışma postürünün ergonomik riski Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) ile değerlendirildi. Cornell Kas İskelet Rahatsızlığı Anketi (CMDQ) ile geçen bir hafta boyunca yaşanan kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlığının sıklığı, şiddeti ve iş yapmaya olan etkileri sorgulandı. Bulgular: Veriler analiz edildiğinde, çalışanların yüksek riskte çalıştığı saptandı. CMDQ ortalama değeri 220 olarak bulundu. REBA ve CMDQ puanı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki (p<0,001) ve düşük orta derecede pozitif (r=0,33) korelasyon tespit edildi. Sonuç: Çalışma postürü riskli hale geldikçe, kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlığından etkilenme de artmaktadır.
