我们描述了西班牙怀孕工人暴露于主要类别的职业因素和条件。在怀孕12周时，从主要的公共妇科咨询机构招募妇女，纳入INMA西班牙队列研究（n = 2058）。通过结构化问卷的个人访谈，了解怀孕期间的工作情况和工作条件。50%的女性报告经常接触体力负荷（站立、举重），45%的女性报告接触三种或三种以上的工作压力指标。暴露于至少一种物理因素（噪音、振动等）影响了25%的女性。据报告，20%的女性接触过化学物质，主要包括溶剂和清洁产品。8%的女性上夜班。工作压力在办公室职员和工业经营者中更为普遍。工业工人暴露于化学和物理污染物的比例最高。我们的数据表明，西班牙孕妇的工作条件可能需要加强控制。
We describe reported exposures to main categories of occupational agents and conditions in Spanish pregnant workers.Women were recruited at 12th week of pregnancy from main public gynaecological consults to be included in the INMA Spanish cohorts study (n = 2,058). Through personal interviews with structured questionnaires, information on working situation and working conditions during pregnancy was obtained.Fifty percent of the women reported frequent exposure to physical load (standing, heavy lifting) and 45 % reported exposure to three or more indicators of job strain. Exposure to at least one physical agent (noise, vibrations, etc.) affected 25 % of the women. Exposure to chemicals was reported by 20 % of the women, mostly including solvents and cleaning products. Eight percent of the women worked at night shifts. Job strain was more prevalent in office workers and industrial operators. Industrial workers showed the highest prevalence of exposure to chemical and physical pollutants.Our data suggest that working conditions of pregnant women may need increased control in Spain.
