Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de sintomas músculo-esqueléticos de trabalhadores do setor da produção de uma empresa da indústria têxtil, e verificar qual a sua associação com fatores individuais, ocupacionais e do estilo de vida dos trabalhadores. Métodos: Neste estudo participaram 55 trabalhadores de uma empresa têxtil tendo sido utilizados: um questionário para caracterização sociodemográfica e antropométrica da amostra, o Questionário Nórdico Músculo-Esquelético e o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física. Resultados: As 4 áreas com maior prevalência de sintomatologia foram: a região lombar (49.1%), o pescoço (43.4%), os punhos/mãos (39.6%) e os ombros (37.7%). Foram encontradas associações estatisticamente significativas entre a prevalência de sintomatologia e fatores individuais como a idade, e fatores ocupacionais como a posição de trabalho e o posto de trabalho (costura). Conclusão: Verifica-se uma alta prevalência de sintomatologia nestes trabalhadores, sendo necessárias medidas de prevenção e de melhoria das condições de trabalho, especialmente no setor da costura, a fim de diminuir as lesões músculo-esqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho.
Aim: To determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms of workers in the production sector of a textile company, and to verify their association with individual, occupational and workers lifestyle factors. Methods: In this study participated 55 workers from a textile company in which it was used: a questionnaire for sociodemographic and anthropometric characterization of the sample, the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and the International Questionnaire of Physical Activity. Results: The four areas with the highest prevalence of symptoms were: the lower back (49.1%), the neck (43.4%), the wrists/hands (39.6%) and the shoulders (37.7%). Statistically significant associations were found between the prevalence of symptomatology and individual factors such as age, and occupational factors such as the work position and the workstation (sewing). Conclusion: Results indicate a high prevalence of symptomatology in these workers. Prevention measures and improvements of the workplace conditions are needed, especially in the sewing sector, in order to reduce work-related musculoskeletal injuries.
