“…Previously, the questionnaire was used to investigate public health personnel in Spain [5], the older working population in Denmark [4], and the working population in Poland [6]. Meanwhile, the questionnaire was utilized to investigate workers from large and small-medium enterprises [21] and their workers [17], caregivers [11], and older workers [26], respectively, in Cyprus, Brazil, and Thailand. WAI is composed of ten items divided into seven aspects, as follows [8,11,27]: The range of the summative index was 7 to 49, which is classified into poor , moderate (28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36), good (37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43), and excellent (44-49) work ability.…”

In the current study, the questionnaire was piloted with a similar group of participants to test reliability by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, more than 0.6.…”

“…Meanwhile, the incongruence between an individual's ability and job requirements could deteriorate their working performance and health status [5,[8][9][10]. Health effects and intense workloads may result in an unbalance between the individuals' physical, intellectual resources and the emotional, cognitive, and physical demands and characteristics of their work, thus leading to a decline in their work ability [11]. Previous studies demonstrated possible factors affecting WAI.…”

The ability to work is an essential factor in the quality of work life. This study aimed to determine factors related to work ability among the working population in Sing Buri Province. A total of 360 workers completed a cross-sectional survey using a questionnaire. The questionnaire included demographic data and work conditions, psychosocial factors, and measures of the seven components of the work-ability index (WAI). Mean, percentage, standard deviation, and stepwise multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the rates and predictors of the WAI of the participants. Of the 360 participants, 61.40% were women with an average age of 43.00 ± 11.30 years; 36.70% had completed high school education. Their average work experience was 11.30 ± 8.50 years. The results revealed that the average WAI was 31.40 ± 4.15. 76.10% of the participants qualified for the moderate work ability index. The number of current diseases, age, and monthly income were found to significantly contribute to the prediction of the WAI (p < 0.05). This finding suggests that the relevant agencies should support a policy, project or program related to health promotion among the working population with physical health conditions. Promoting occupations should be considered to raise income policy. In doing so, work ability among the working population may be improved.

Aim To investigate the level of self‐reported work ability and its association with manual patient handling in healthcare workers. Design Cross‐sectional study adhering to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Methods A total of 320 healthcare workers answered a self‐administered questionnaire regarding manual patient handling, work ability, occupational factors, occurrence of low back pain and sociodemographic and lifestyle factors from November 2016 to March 2017. The association between manual patient handling and low back pain was analysed with Poisson regression models. Results The prevalence ratio of inadequate work ability was 43.42%. Manual patient handling (PR 1.375, 95% CI 1.038–1.821), bachelor education (PR 2.150, 95% CI 1.272–3.632), less than bachelor education (PR 2.166, 95% CI 1.218–3.855), seniority (PR 1.049, 95% CI 1.024–1.086), poor sleep quality (PR 1.425, 95% CI 1.13–1.796) and presence of low back pain (PR 2.003, 95% CI 1.314–3.052) were all positively associated with an inadequate work ability.
