背景多项研究表明，工会组织与工人的健康和福祉之间存在不同的关联。本研究调查了个体工人感知到的工会联系与肌肉骨骼疼痛 (MSP) 之间的关联。方法我们对 1,757 名加入工会的建筑学徒进行了横断面调查。感知工会联系是一个心理社会量表，通过六个问题来衡量，评估个体工人在工会工作场所与其工会的联系（范围 10-24）。我们测量了四种 MSP（颈部、肩部、手臂和背部疼痛）的患病率以及由四种 MSP 中的每一种引起的日常家庭活动、工作活动和睡眠困难。结果我们发现，感知工会关系每增加 1 分，报告颈部疼痛（OR：0.95，95% CI：0.91–1.00）和背痛（OR：0.95，95% CI： 0.91–0.99）在调整混杂因素（包括自我报告的人体工程学应变）后。我们还发现感知到的工会联系与导致日常活动困难的 MSP 之间存在显着关联。对于感知工会联系增加一分，报告背痛导致家庭活动、工作活动和睡眠困难的几率分别降低 9% (95% CI: 0.87–0.96)、8% (95% CI: 0.88–0.96) 和 7% (95% CI: 0.89–0.98)。 结论 尽管我们的研究结果受到数据横截面性质的限制，但这些结果研究表明，即使在有工会的工作场所，工人对工会的认识也可能有所不同，这可能与 MSP 的普遍存在和 MSP 导致日常活动困难有关。是。 J.工业医学。 56:189–196, 2013。© 2011 Wiley periodicals, Inc.
BackgroundSeveral studies show varying associations between unionization and workers' health and well‐being. This study investigated the association between individual worker's perceived union connection and musculoskeletal pains (MSPs).MethodsWe conducted a cross‐sectional survey of 1,757 unionized construction apprentices. Perceived union connection is a psychosocial scale measured by six questions that assessed individual worker's connection to their union (range 10–24) at unionized workplaces. We measured the prevalence of four MSPs (neck, shoulder, arm, and back pain) and difficulty in daily home activities, job activities, and sleeping caused by each of the four MSPs.ResultsWe found that a one score increase in perceived union connection was associated with 5% decreased odds of reporting neck pain (OR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.91–1.00) and back pain (OR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.91–0.99) after adjusting for confounders including self‐reported ergonomic strain. We also found significant associations between perceived union connection and MSPs causing difficulty in daily activities. For a one score increase in perceived union connection, the odds of reporting back pain causing difficulty in home activities, job activities, and sleeping was 9% (95% CI: 0.87–0.96), 8% (95% CI: 0.88–0.96), and 7% (95% CI: 0.89–0.98) lower, respectively.ConclusionsAlthough our findings are limited by the cross‐sectional nature of the data, these results suggest that workers' perceived union connection can vary even within unionized workplaces, and it may be associated with the prevalence of MSPs and MSPs causing difficulty in daily activities.
