Tersane Çalışanlarında Kas İskelet Sistemi Sorunlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Amaç: Araştırmada tersane çalışanlarında kas iskelet sistemi sorunlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Yöntem: Araştırma kesitsel tipte bir çalışma olup, Ekim-Aralık 2019 tarihlerinde Kocaeli’de üç tersanede gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada anket formu kullanılmıştır. Çalışma 280 tersane çalışanı ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın etik kurul onayı alınmıştır. Analizde istatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p< 0.05 alınmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılanların %31.1’i 30 yaş ve altında, %30.7’si 31-40 yaş grubunda olup; yaşları ortalaması 37.1±10.5 dir. Araştırmada katılımcıların %6.8’inin kronik hastalığı olduğu; %49.3’ünün halen sigara içtiği; %14.3’ünün alkol kullandığı; %14.3’ünün düzenli egzersiz yaptığı saptanmıştır. Araştırmada tersane çalışanlarının %22.1’inin belinde, %18.2’sinin sırtında, %17.9’unun boynunda, %16.1’inin omzunda son bir yılda ağrı saptanmıştır. Çalışmada katılımcıların %7.9’u bel ağrısı, %4.6’sı boyun ve diz ağrısı nedeniyle ilaç kullandığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Çalışmada en sık bel daha sonra üst ekstremitede kas iskelet sistemi ağrısı olduğu saptanmıştır. Çalışma ortamlarının daha ergonomik hale getirilmesi ve çalışanların çalışma sırasındaki duruş pozisyonlarıyla ilgili eğitim verilmesi önerilmektedir.

Evaluation of Musculoskeletal System Problems in Shipyard Workers

Abstract

Objective: In the research, it is aimed to evaluate the musculoskeletal system problems in shipyard employees. Method: The study is a cross-sectional study and was conducted in three shipyards in Kocaeli between October and December 2019. The survey form was used in the study. The study was conducted with 280 shipyard employees. Ethics committee approval of the study was obtained. Statistical significance level was taken as p< 0.05 in the analysis. Result: 31.1% of the participants are in the age group 30 and under, 30.7% are in the 31-40 age group; Their average age is 37.1 ± 10.5. It was found that 6.8% of the participants in the study had a chronic disease; 49.3% of them are still smoking; 14.3% of them uses alcohol; 14.3% of them exercise regularly.
