Objectives: This research was conducted as a cross-sectional descriptive study aimed at determining the existence of pain in the musculoskeletal system among office workers and the reasons for it. Material and Methods: The sample consisted of 528 office workers. Collection of data was achieved using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers in line with information from the literature. Results: The male and female office workers most frequently complained of pain in the lower back (55.1%), neck (52.5%) and back (53%). It was seen that out of the variables relating to the work environment, those which had the most significant effect on muscular-skeletal system pain were sitting at the desk for a long time without a break, working sitting on a chair that supported only the lumbar area and the arms, having the computer mouse at a distance from the keyboard, having the head inclined at 45° when working, working holding both forearms above the level of the desk, not taking exercise in daily life, and having a moderate or extremely stressful workplace (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The conclusion has been reached in this study that in order for office workers not to suffer musculoskeletal system pain, it is very important that the working environment should be ergonomically arranged and that various measures should be taken to ensure healthy life behavior.

ObjectivesThe work system reform and the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan have prompted efforts toward telecommuting in Japan. However, only a few studies have investigated the stress and health effects of telecommuting. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the relationship between telecommuting and job stress among Japanese workers.Material and MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study. In December 2020, during the “third wave” of the COVID-19 pandemic, an Internet-based nationwide health survey of 33 087 Japanese workers (The Collaborative Online Research on Novel-coronavirus and Work, CORoNaWork study) was conducted. Data of 27 036 individuals were included after excluding 6051 invalid responses. The authors analyzed a sample of 13 468 office workers from this database. The participants were classified into 4 groups according to their telecommuting frequency, while comparing scores on the subscale of the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) and subjective job stress between the high-frequency, medium-frequency, low-frequency, and non-telecommuters groups. A linear mixed model and an ordinal logistic regression analysis were used.ResultsA significant difference in the job control scores of the JCQ among the 4 groups was found, after adjusting for multiple confounding factors. The high-frequency telecommuters group had the highest job control score. Further, after adjusting for multiple confounding factors, the subjective job stress scores of the high- and medium-frequency telecommuters groups were significantly lower than those of the non-telecommuters group.ConclusionsThis study revealed that high-frequency telecommuting was associated with high job control and low subjective job stress. The widespread adoption of telecommuting as a countermeasure to the public health challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may also have a positive impact on job stress.

Wstęp. Celem pracy jest analiza i porównanie dolegliwości bólowych kręgosłupa pomiędzy pracownikami biurowymi oraz pracownikami fizycznymi. Materiał i metody. Badaniem objęto grupę 60 osób. Badanych podzielono na dwie różne grupy ze względu na charakter wykonywanej pracy. Pierwszą grupę stanowili pracownicy biurowi (30 osób), drugą pracownicy fizyczni (30 osób). Do przeprowadzenia badań wykorzystano ankietę. Ankieta była standaryzowana oraz anonimowa, zawierała 23 pytania. Próba badawcza stanowiła w sumie 60 ankiet. Zebrane za pomocą ankiety dane zostały poddane analizie statystycznej. Wyniki. U pracowników biurowych częściej występuje ból w szyjnym odcinku kręgosłupa, wśród pracowników fizycznych częściej dotyczy to kręgosłupa lędźwiowego. W obu grupach pod względem stażu pracy był podobny poziom dolegliwości bólowych. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań wykazano, że aktywności fizyczna nie ma wpływu na zmniejszenie bólu kręgosłupa. Wnioski. 1. Dolegliwości bólowe kręgosłupa pomiędzy pracownikami fizycznymi a biurowymi są istotnie różne. 2. W przypadku obydwu grup badanych ból pojawia się głównie w trakcie oraz po pracy. 3. Obie grupy badane uważają, że ból kręgosłupa utrudnia im wykonywanie czynności codziennych oraz obowiązków zawodowych, a największy wpływ na pojawienie się bólu miał charakter wykonywanej pracy.

Background. The aim of the study was the analysis and comparison of spinal pain symptoms between office workers and physical workers. Material and methods. The sample included 60 subjects. The participants were divided into two groups according to the type of work performed. The first group included office workers (30 people) and the second one included physical workers (30 persons). The study was carried out using a questionnaire. It was standardized and anonymous and included 23 questions. The study sample comprised the total of 60 surveys. The collected data were next subjected to statistical analysis. Results. It was found that office workers more often experienced pain in the cervical spine while the physical workers more often suffer from lumbar pain. In both groups the level of pain was similar in participants with a similar length of service. The study has found that physical activity does not contribute to back pain alleviation. Conclusions. 1. There are significant differences in back pain symptoms between the studied groups of physical and office workers. 2. In both groups the patients reported suffering from pain during and after work. 3. Both groups reported that spinal pain made it harder for them to perform everyday activities and occupational duties and that the type of job had the greatest impact on pain.
