“…Besides office ergonomic risk, psychosocial factors such as work demands, social support, job stress and work style may also contribute to work-related MSDs such as neck, shoulder, and upper limb [12], [14]- [17]. The combination of positive or negative effect of one or more psychosocial risk such as job demand, job insecurity, job control and support factors may potentially develop negative health related outcomes such as musculoskeletal complaints and psychological health [18].…”

“…In France, pain in the upper limbs accounted for 50% of all reported occupational diseases that caused disability and time lost from work 2) . In Canada, upper limb (neck, shoulder, and arm) WMSDs constituted up to 24% of lost-time workers compensation claims 3) . In China, WMSDs are still not included as occupational disease compensation claims by law, and thus the exact prevalence of WMSDs is not well-known in China.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between psychosocial job stress (by the Job Control-Demand (JCD) model and Effort-Reward imbalance (ERI) model) and musculoskeletal (MS) symptoms among workers in China. Overall, 3,632 male and 1,706 female workers from 13 factories/companies participated in this study. Perceived job stress was evaluated by the Chinese version of the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) and ERI Questionnaire. Neck, shoulder and wrist symptoms were assessed by self-report during the past year. Workers reporting high job demands and low job control or high effort and low rewards had moderately increased risk for all MS symptoms. Odds ratios (ORs) were higher in workers reporting both high effort and low rewards. The combination of high physical job demands with low job control showed significant associations with MS symptoms. The effects of psychological demands on symptoms in women, effort and effort-reward imbalance on symptoms among both genders were increased as the number of regions with symptoms increased. These results suggest that high job strain and ERI are associated with neck, shoulder and wrist symptoms in Chinese factory workers independent of individual factors, physical factors, and other psychological variables.

“…Estudos demonstram 4,10,11,12,13,14 que as LER apresentam uma diferença de prevalência significativa entre os gêneros, estando as mulheres entre a maioria dos casos. O trabalho apresenta um impacto diferente entre homens e mulheres, tanto na forma como se dá a inserção no mercado de trabalho, como na maneira que vivenciam o ambiente laboral, ocasionando modos e tipos de ocorrências distintas de adoecimentos relacionados ao trabalho.…”

Neste artigo, apresentamos os resultados da pesquisa qualitativa que desenvolvemos a partir do material de arquivo de um serviço de saúde referente a quatro grupos terapêuticos ocorridos entre 1995 e 1997. Nosso objetivo foi reconstruir a trajetória de vida e trabalho de portadoras das LER, considerando as suas relações com os familiares, parentes, amigos, empresa, colegas de trabalho, com os serviços de saúde e os impactos sobre a vida cotidiana. As informações descritas corroboram com os dados encontrados na literatura científica referentes à maior freqüência das LER entre as mulheres e permite-nos elencar um rol de necessidades relacionadas à questão dos sofrimentos biopsicossociais decorrentes, sugerindo a necessidade de novas pesquisas de investigação e intervenção, com intuito de produzir tecnologias assistivas e preventivas que coloquem fim nesta trilha de adoecimento.
