COVID-19大流行导致工作条件发生巨大变化，使人们更加关注远程工作人员的职业健康。我们的目的是调查由于大流行而在家远程工作的手语翻译的身心健康。我们测量了每周远程工作10小时或以上的认证口译员的身心健康。我们评估了整体样本中的关联，并在主要口译设置和平台上比较了单独的广义线性模型。我们假设身体健康与心理健康相关，并且不同环境之间存在差异。我们招募了120名口译员参加。我们计算了残疾评分（平均评分，13.93 [平均值的标准误差（SEM），1.43]/100），工作残疾评分（平均评分，10.86 [SEM，1.59]/100）和疼痛评分（平均评分，3.53 [SEM，0.29]/10）。肩部疼痛最为普遍（27.5%）。受访者的抑郁（22.5%）、焦虑（16.7%）和压力（24.2%）得分不在正常范围内。虽然残疾与抑郁症无关，但身体健康的所有其他结局与心理健康相关（r ≥ 0.223，P ≤ .02）。教育和社区/自由职业口译员倾向于更不利的身体健康，而教育和视频远程口译员倾向于更多的心理健康问题。保持手语翻译的职业健康对于解决导致聋人社区健康不平等的语言障碍至关重要。残疾，工作残疾和疼痛与心理健康的关联保证了这些重要工作者的临床治疗和研究的整体方法。
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a dramatic shift in work conditions, bringing increased attention to the occupational health of remote workers. We aimed to investigate the physical and mental health of sign language interpreters working remotely from home because of the pandemic. We measured the physical and mental health of certified interpreters who worked remotely 10 or more hours per week. We evaluated associations within the overall sample and compared separate generalized linear models across primary interpreting settings and platforms. We hypothesized that physical health would be correlated with mental health and that differences across settings would exist. We recruited 120 interpreters to participate. We calculated scores for disability (mean score, 13.93 [standard error of the mean (SEM), 1.43] of 100), work disability (mean score, 10.86 [SEM, 1.59] of 100), and pain (mean score, 3.53 [SEM, 0.29] of 10). Shoulder pain was most prevalent (27.5%). Respondents had scores that were not within normal limits for depression (22.5%), anxiety (16.7%), and stress (24.2%). Although disability was not associated with depression, all other outcomes for physical health were correlated with mental health (r ≥ 0.223, P ≤ .02). Educational and community/freelance interpreters trended toward greater adverse physical health, whereas educational and video remote interpreters trended toward more mental health concerns. Maintaining the occupational health of sign language interpreters is critical for addressing the language barriers that have resulted in health inequities for deaf communities. Associations of disability, work disability, and pain with mental health warrant a holistic approach in the clinical treatment and research of these essential workers.
