背景残疾工人发生非致命性职业伤害的风险高于非残疾工人。这些损伤的特征没有很好的描述。方法使用1997-2011年全国健康访谈调查（NHIS）数据，我们比较了美国残疾和非残疾工人遭受的非致命性职业伤害。结果过度劳累、剧烈运动和跌倒占残疾工人职业伤害的56.7%，而非残疾工人的这一比例为45.6%。残疾工人更常在下肢受伤（32.3%对26.6%）或躯干受伤（22.9%对16.9%）。与没有残疾的工人相比，残疾工人遭受的不明伤害（13.5%比7.9%）和开放性伤口伤害（15.7%比24.2%）更多。残疾工人的职业伤害率较高，这些伤害往往更严重，更可能是由于过度劳累/剧烈运动或跌倒造成的。点。中华医学杂志，2015,38(5):557 - 557。©2015 Wiley期刊公司
BackgroundWorkers with disabilities have a higher risk of nonfatal occupational injuries than workers without disabilities. The characteristics of these injuries are not well described.MethodsUsing 1997–2011 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data, we compared the nonfatal occupational injuries sustained by U.S. workers with and without disabilities.ResultsOverexertion or strenuous movements and falls accounted for 56.7% of all occupational injuries in workers with disabilities, compared with 45.6% in workers without a disability. Workers with disabilities were more frequently injured in the lower extremity (32.3% vs. 26.6%) or torso (22.9% vs. 16.9%). Workers with disabilities sustained more unspecified injuries (13.5% vs. 7.9%) and fewer open wound injuries (15.7% vs. 24.2%) than their counterparts without a disability.ConclusionsU.S. workers with disabilities had a higher rate of occupational injuries and these injuries tended to be more severe and were more likely to be caused by overexertion/ strenuous movement or falls.
