In order to examine and to verify if the factors
of the present occupational risk in the hospital infirmary
work, operate on the appearance of the low back pain,
a prevalence study was done in a sample of 302
workers from the infirmary of two hospitals in
Venezuela.
In a questionnaire on menstrual troubles and other
peri-menstrual symptoms, Two specific questions
concerning low back pain were performed, based
perception of the workers pain: (1) Today, at the time
of this interview do feel pain at the level of your low
back? (yes/no). (2) During last the 12 months, with what
frequency have you experienced pain at the level of
your low back? (never, sometimes, frequently and/or
almost always). Different patient manipulations and
intensity of work indicators were examined as
occupational risk factors. The low back pain association
with each one of the occupational factors was analyzed
through the multiple logistic regression model, adjusted
by age, obesity, alcohol consumption, cigarette, and
menstruation.
The low back pain prevalence at the interview
moment was 28% and the prevalence of this perceived
symptom, frequently or almost all the time, during the
last year was 48%. Associations statistically significant,
with low back pain and different tasks that imply
uncomfortable positions of the trunk and the raise of
loads, were encountered. e.i. To Bathe patients,
ORaj=1.09(IC 95%=1.01-1.16), so as with various
indicator of intensity of work rate, i.e: Perception of
the intense work rate, ORaj=1.58(IC 95%=1.24-2.02). Among the non occupational factors the menstruation
and the cigarette were statistically associated: Menstruation, RR=1.96(IC 95% =1.31-2.92); cigarette
consumption, RR=1.68(IC 95%=1.16-2.43).
Our results suggest menstruation is an important
predisposing factor for the low back pain appearence
on infirmary workers, increasing inclusive twice the
risk of suffering such symptom. Nevertheless, the
occupational risk factors are still being determining for
the low back pain in the group of the infirmary workers

En un cuestionario sobre trastornos menstruales y otros síntomas perimenstruales, se hicieron 2 preguntas específicas sobre lumbalgia, basadas en la percepción del dolor de las trabajadoras: (1) ¿Hoy, al momento de esta entrevista, siente dolor a nivel de espalda baja? (si/no). (2) ¿Durante los últimos 12 meses, con qué frecuencia ha experimentado dolor a nivel de espalda baja? (nunca, de vez en cuando, frecuentemente y/o casi siempre). Como factores de riesgo ocupacionales, se examinaron diferentes actividades de manipulación de los pacientes e indicadores de intensidad del ritmo de trabajo. La asociación de la lumbalgia con cada uno de los factores ocupacionales fue analizada mediante un modelo de regresión logística múltiple ajustado por edad, obesidad, consumo de alcohol, cigarrillo, y la menstruación. La prevalencia de la lumbalgia al momento de la entrevista fue de un 28% y la prevalencia de este síntoma percibido frecuentemente o casi siempre durante el último año fue de un 48%. Se encontraron asociaciones estadísticamente significativas de la lumbalgia con diferentes tareas que implican posiciones incómodas del tronco y el levantamiento de cargas, p.ej.: Bañar pacientes, ORaj=1.09(IC 95%=1.01-1.16), así como con varios indicadores de intensidad de ritmo de trabajo, p.ej.: Percepción del ritmo de trabajo intenso, ORaj=1.58(IC 95%=1.24-2.02). Dentro de los factores de riesgo no ocupacionales, la menstruación y el cigarrillo resultaron estadísticamente asociados: Menstruación, RR=1.96(IC 95%=1.31-2.92); consumo de cigarrillos, RR=1.68(IC 95%=1.16-2.43). Los resultados confirman que los factores de riesgo ocupacionales son condiciones determinantes para la aparición del dolor de espalda baja en el grupo de trabajadoras de la enfermería.Instituto de Altos Estudios en Salud Pública "Dr. Arnaldo Gabaldón"2004text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=1411179(Revista) ISSN 1315-0138Salud de los Trabajadores, ISSN 1315-0138, Vol. 12, Nº. 1, 2004, pags. 19-32spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
