To clarify the correlation between kitchen work-related burns and cuts and job stress, a self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted involving 991 kitchen workers among 126 kitchen facilities. The demographics, condition of burns and cuts, job stress with the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ), health condition, and work-related and environmental factors were surveyed. Multiple logistic regression models and trend tests were used according to quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) of each sub-scale BJSQ. After adjustment for potential confounding variables, burns/cuts were associated with a higher score category (Q4) of job demands (OR: 2.56, 95% CI: 1.10–6.02/OR: 2.72, 95% CI: 1.30–5.69), psychological stress (OR: 4.49, 95% CI: 2.05–9.81/OR: 3.52, 95% CI: 1.84–6.72), and physical stress (OR: 2.41, 95% CI: 1.20–4.98/OR 2.16, 95% CI: 1.16–4.01). The ORs of the burn/cut injures increased from Q1 to Q4 with job demands (p for trend = 0.045/0.003), psychological stress (p for trend<0.001/0.001), and physical stress (p for trend = 0.006/0.005), respectively. These findings suggest that kitchen work-related burns and cuts are more likely to be correlated with job stress, and the higher the job stress score, the higher the frequency of burns and cuts among kitchen workers.

“…Na literatura, é bem fundamentada a caracterização de LER/DORT como fenômeno resultante da superutilização das estruturas anatômicas do sistema osteomuscular e da falta de tempo para sua recuperação. Como fatores de risco, destacam-se: a repetitividade de movimentos, a manutenção de posturas inadequadas por tempo prolongado, o esforço físico, o trabalho muscular estático, a pressão mecânica sobre determinados segmentos do corpo, frio, vibração, invariabilidade e conteúdo pobre das tarefas, ritmo intenso de trabalho e fatores organizacionais e psicossociais (BONGERS et al, 1993;PUSTIGLIONE, 1997;ROCHA;FERREIRA JUNIOR, 2000;JORGE et al, 2009;PEHKONEN et al, 2009).…”

RESUMO OBJETIVO: identificar a prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares entre trabalhadores de um serviço de nutrição de um hospital público. MÉTODO: estudo epidemiológico transversal com aplicação de questionários para 115 trabalhadores (representando 89% do quadro de pessoal) do serviço de nutrição de um hospital de cardiologia, em São Paulo, em 2007. O instrumento utilizado foi baseado no Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Osteomusculares de Kuorinka et al. (1987) para identificação de dor ou desconforto relacionados ao trabalho, localização e tipo de queixa, além de caracterizar a frequência, a intensidade e a duração dos sintomas. RESULTADOS: a média da idade dos trabalhadores foi de 37 ± 9,8 anos, 81% eram do sexo feminino, 58% possuíam Ensino Médio e o tempo médio de trabalho foi de 9,3 ± 7,5 anos em jornada de trabalho de 40 horas semanais. Do total de participantes, 89% referiram dor ou desconforto relacionados ao trabalho no último ano em membros inferiores (65%), ombros (55%), região lombar (39%), região cervical (37%), mãos/punhos/dedos (29%), coluna (28%), antebraço (28%) e cotovelos (10%). O movimento de andar e transportar carga foi a causa mais citada para os sintomas (31%). CONCLUSÃO: entre os trabalhadores do serviço, a prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares foi alta, principalmente nos membros inferiores e nos ombros. Recomendam-se novas pesquisas que incluam a avaliação do ambiente e das atividades desenvolvidas pelos trabalhadores.
