Resumen
MORALES, Juan; BASILIO, Marlene Raquel y YOVERA, Elizabeth María. Musculoskeletal disorders and stress level among public transport service workers in Lima. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.1, pp.9-23. Epub 10-Mayo-2021. ISSN 3020-1160.
Objectives:
To determine the frequency of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and the association with the level of stress in workers of the urban transport service.
Material and Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study with 462 workers of both sexes, between drivers and ticket collectors. The Nordic Kuorinka Questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) were used to evaluate the MSD and the level of stress, respectively.
Results:
MSD mainly affected the lumbar region (58.2%) and dorsal region (35.7%). A 65.6% had a low level of stress, the rest a high level. Drivers with a high level of stress had a higher proportion of MSD (p <0.005).
Conclusions:
MSD among transport workers are frequent and mainly affect the lumbar and dorsal region. Drivers with a high level of stress presented a higher proportion of MSD. Lumbar and dorsal MSD were associated with age, marital status, driver’s position, length of service, and stress level.
