Dor musculoesquelética em motoristas e cobradores de ônibus da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, Brasil

Abstract: Musculoskeletal pain among professionals in the transport sector has been linked to working conditions. The scope of this study was to assess the prevalence of cervical musculoskeletal pain and its relation to pain in other areas (arms, hands and shoulders). The association between neck pain, related to pain in other areas or otherwise, was checked against occupational factors. A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study was conducted with 799 bus drivers and 708 fare collectors of the Metropolitan Reg… Show more

“…Men represented almost the entirety of the workers on the jobs analyzed in this study. This finding is similar to previous studies focused on these professions (5,8,11,12) and it seems to be related to the danger that surrounds the job considering the number of robberies and road traffic accidents (6) . In addition, the mean age of bus drivers was higher than that of fare collectors, probably due the hierarchy of jobs in the workplace and to the fact that in order to get a bus driving license (license D) in Brazil, the applicant must be 21 years of age or older and have a minimum of two years of license B (vehicles that do not exceed 8 seats) or one year of license C (cargo vehicles) (7,11) .…”

“…At the same time, the function of the onboard fare collector is to assist the bus driver in his working day (6) . Prolonged exposure to stress conditions causes them to experience musculoskeletal disorders and occupational diseases (11,12) . In this context, there are several studies that address different perspectives such as: violence against drivers (6) , health and work conditions (7,8) , cardiovascular risk taking into account race (10) or workday (13) , prevalence of musculoskeletal pain (11) , food and anthropometric profile (14) , physiological aspects such as heart rate variability (15) , risk associated with work-related injuries (16) , metabolic and urinary profile (17) or stress (18) .…”

“…Así mismo en otro estudio realizado también en conductores y cobradores de autobús, Simões et al comprobaron que existía sobrepeso y gran parte de ellos no practicaba ninguna actividad física, y al mismo tiempo, se reportaron casos de personas que presentan algún tipo de discapacidad para realizar actividades de la vida diaria, a causa del dolor, sumado a la existencia de vibraciones, molestias térmicas y molestias de tipo acústicas. La postura incómoda también fue reportada en la mayoría de los participantes 29 .…”

“…De igual manera, destacan las problemáticas de salud mental, las cuales han aumentado en los últimos años, y estarían asociadas al alto grado de presión, al acelerado ritmo de trabajo, la fatiga, el cansancio, estrés, malas remuneraciones, extensas jornadas laborales. Es importante considerar que quienes se dedican especialmente al transporte de pasajeros, gocen de una buena salud mental, favoreciendo el resguardo y seguridad también del usuario del transporte público, por lo tanto, es necesario generar instancias de promoción de salud de ambientes laborales con la finalidad de proteger al conductor y a los pasajeros que utilizan este recurso 29,30 . Al abordar la temática de salud en este grupo de trabajadores, los estudios son concluyentes en señalar que gran parte de estos trabajadores tienen un cuidado deficiente de su salud.…”

“…Según el estudio Global Burden of Disease Study 2015, el dolor lumbar y el dolor de cuello fueron las principales causas de discapacidad en el mundo en 2015 1 . Existe una gran cantidad de literatura epidemiológica, que trata sobre los trastornos del cuello-hombro relacionados con el trabajo como un problema de salud importante en muchas ocupaciones [2][3][4][5] . Aun así, la relación con el trabajo en el sentido de una relación dosis-respuesta bien establecida o de una fracción etiológica calculada no está bien documentada.…”
