Lumbalgia ocupacional en enfermeras venezolanas

In order to examine and to verify if the factors of the present occupational risk in the hospital infirmary work, operate on the appearance of the low back pain, a prevalence study was done in a sample of 302 workers from the infirmary of two hospitals in Venezuela. In a questionnaire on menstrual troubles and other peri-menstrual symptoms, Two specific questions concerning low back pain were performed, based perception of the workers pain: (1) Today, at the time of this interview do feel pain at the level of your low back? (yes/no). (2) During last the 12 months, with what frequency have you experienced pain at the level of your low back? (never, sometimes, frequently and/or almost always). Different patient manipulations and intensity of work indicators were examined as occupational risk factors. The low back pain association with each one of the occupational factors was analyzed through the multiple logistic regression model, adjusted by age, obesity, alcohol consumption, cigarette, and menstruation. The low back pain prevalence at the interview moment was 28% and the prevalence of this perceived symptom, frequently or almost all the time, during the last year was 48%. Associations statistically significant, with low back pain and different tasks that imply uncomfortable positions of the trunk and the raise of loads, were encountered. e.i. To Bathe patients, ORaj=1.09(IC 95%=1.01-1.16), so as with various indicator of intensity of work rate, i.e: Perception of the intense work rate, ORaj=1.58(IC 95%=1.24-2.02). Among the non occupational factors the menstruation and the cigarette were statistically associated: Menstruation, RR=1.96(IC 95% =1.31-2.92); cigarette consumption, RR=1.68(IC 95%=1.16-2.43). Our results suggest menstruation is an important predisposing factor for the low back pain appearence on infirmary workers, increasing inclusive twice the risk of suffering such symptom. Nevertheless, the occupational risk factors are still being determining for the low back pain in the group of the infirmary workers

En un cuestionario sobre trastornos menstruales y otros síntomas perimenstruales, se hicieron 2 preguntas específicas sobre lumbalgia, basadas en la percepción del dolor de las trabajadoras: (1) ¿Hoy, al momento de esta entrevista, siente dolor a nivel de espalda baja? (si/no). (2) ¿Durante los últimos 12 meses, con qué frecuencia ha experimentado dolor a nivel de espalda baja? (nunca, de vez en cuando, frecuentemente y/o casi siempre). Como factores de riesgo ocupacionales, se examinaron diferentes actividades de manipulación de los pacientes e indicadores de intensidad del ritmo de trabajo. La asociación de la lumbalgia con cada uno de los factores ocupacionales fue analizada mediante un modelo de regresión logística múltiple ajustado por edad, obesidad, consumo de alcohol, cigarrillo, y la menstruación. La prevalencia de la lumbalgia al momento de la entrevista fue de un 28% y la prevalencia de este síntoma percibido frecuentemente o casi siempre durante el último año fue de un 48%. Se encontraron asociaciones estadísticamente significativas de la lumbalgia con diferentes tareas que implican posiciones incómodas del tronco y el levantamiento de cargas, p.ej.: Bañar pacientes, ORaj=1.09(IC 95%=1.01-1.16), así como con varios indicadores de intensidad de ritmo de trabajo, p.ej.: Percepción del ritmo de trabajo intenso, ORaj=1.58(IC 95%=1.24-2.02). Dentro de los factores de riesgo no ocupacionales, la menstruación y el cigarrillo resultaron estadísticamente asociados: Menstruación, RR=1.96(IC 95%=1.31-2.92); consumo de cigarrillos, RR=1.68(IC 95%=1.16-2.43). Los resultados confirman que los factores de riesgo ocupacionales son condiciones determinantes para la aparición del dolor de espalda baja en el grupo de trabajadoras de la enfermería.Instituto de Altos Estudios en Salud Pública "Dr. Arnaldo Gabaldón"2004text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=1411179(Revista) ISSN 1315-0138Salud de los Trabajadores, ISSN 1315-0138, Vol. 12, Nº. 1, 2004, pags. 19-32spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
