“…The comparison of the prevalence of discomfort between the sexes was performed through Fisher's exact test. From the numerical data provided by the NRS, a categorization based on the study by Moriguchi et al 4 was performed. The process considered two NRS categories: higher than 45 points and lower than 45 points.…”

“…There is a consensus in literature in regards to the importance of preventing occupational injuries, especially considering that the exposure to adverse work conditions may generate overload and promote the genesis of occupational disorders [1][2][3][4] . For each work process, it is fundamental to detect risk factors that are inherent to the activity.…”

“…The risk factors related to the different work processes determine the importance of the use of tools that guide the selection of priorities during an ergonomic intervention 4,5 . Walsh et al 5 demonstrated that the analysis of functional deficits is fundamental, considering the impact of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMD) on the worker's abilities and health.…”

“…Thus, the analysis of work-induced fatigue represents an important health measure 4 . Considering the nursing context, the study of the association of fatigue with other functional and demographic parameters may be useful to an early overload identification and to the understanding of factors involved in occupational activities.…”

| Evaluating factors such as fatigue and functional aspects can identify overloads during nursing activities. The aim was to evaluate need for recovery, prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort, working capacity and perceived exertion of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses. Twentyfour nurses participated (aged 40±8 years; 10 men and 14 women). The Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire, work ability index (WAI), need for recovery scale (NRE) and scale of perceived exertion (Borg) were applied. Gender differences were evaluated by Student' s t-test and the prevalence by Fisher' s exact test. There was a prevalence of 75% in the last 12 months, 100% of women and 42% of men (significant difference; p=0.024). Women rated work as more intense than men (p<0.05). There were no differences between NRE/ WAI. The study emphasizes the importance of preventive actions focused on nursing activities and strategies for prevention of discomfort in females.

To examine the potential risk factors for work-related fatigue (WRF) among workers in modern industries, the authors analyzed the records of need-for-recovery questionnaires and health checkup results for 1545 employees. Compared with regular daytime workers, and after adjusting for confounders, the workers adapting to day-and-night rotating shift work (RSW) had a 4.0-fold (95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.7-5.9) increased risk for WRF, higher than the 2.2-fold risk (95% CI = 1.5-3.3) for persistent shift workers. Based on highest education level, the male employees with university degrees had the highest adjusted odds ratio (a-OR) 2.8 (95% CI = 1.0-7.8) for complaining of WRF versus compulsory education group. For female workers, currently married/cohabiting status was inversely associated with WRF (a-OR = 0.5; 95% CI = 0.2-0.9), and child-rearing responsibility moderately increased WRF risk (a-OR = 1.9; 95% CI = 1.0-3.7). Day-and-night RSW and the adaptation, educational levels of males, and domestic factors for females contributed to WRF among semiconductor manufacturing employees.
