Abstract(s)
Introdução: O Projeto MET – Saúde Músculo-Esquelética no Trabalho refere-se ao estudo
da condição de saúde músculo-esquelética dos trabalhadores da Câmara Municipal de
Setúbal (CMS). Este visa a criação de um modelo de avaliação holístico que englobe as
diferentes dimensões de fatores de risco da Saúde e Higiene no Trabalho.
Objetivos: O principal objetivo do presente estudo é analisar a associação entre condições
músculo-esqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho (CMERT) e fatores individuais, hábitos e
estilos de vida, fatores psicossociais e a perceção de saúde dos trabalhadores da CMS.
Metodologia: Foram estudados 165 trabalhadores da CMS utilizando o modelo da EU-
OSHA (2019). As CMERT foram avaliadas com base em variáveis sociodemográficas
(género e idade), de estilos de vida (IMC, nível de atividade física, sono, hábitos tabágicos
e alcoólicos) e psicossociais. A perceção de saúde foi avaliada em associação com as
CMERT, ajustada ao género e idade. Foi feita uma regressão logística a fim de explorar
associações e interações entre estas variáveis e a prevalência de CMERT.
Resultados: A prevalência de CMERT entre os trabalhadores da CMS é de 56,4%.
Perturbações do sono e fatores psicossociais, nomeadamente acordar com sensação de
cansaço e fadiga e sentir pouco interesse ou prazer em fazer coisas, revelaram associações
significativas com a prevalência de CMERT. Piores reportes da condição de saúde também
revelaram uma associação significativa com a presença de CMERT.
Conclusões: Este estudo destaca a importância de abordagens multidimensionais na
gestão da saúde músculo-esquelética no trabalho. A influência negativa na perceção de
saúde enfatiza a necessidade de estratégias preventivas personalizadas. É recomendado
que futuras investigações utilizem métodos mais objetivos e dirigidos aos fatores de risco
identificados. Apesar das suas limitações, este trabalho contribui para a compreensão das
CMERT, visando melhorar a saúde ocupacional e a qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores da
CMS.
Background: The MSKW Project – Musculoskeletal Health at Work refers to the study of the musculoskeletal health condition of workers at the Setúbal City Council (SCC). This aims to create a holistic assessment model that encompasses the different dimensions of Occupational Health and Hygiene risk factors. Objectives: The main objective of the present study is to analyse the association between work-related musculoskeletal conditions (WRMSD) and individual factors, habits and lifestyles, psychosocial factors and the health perception of SCC workers. Methodology: 165 SCC workers were studied using the EU-OSHA (2019) model. The WRMSD were evaluated based on sociodemographic (gender and age), lifestyle (BMI, level of physical activity, sleep, smoking and alcohol habits) and psychosocial variables. Health perception was assessed in association with the WRMSD, adjusted for gender and age. A logistic regression was performed to explore associations and interactions between these variables and the prevalence of WRMSD. Results: The prevalence of WRMSD among SCC workers is 56.4%. Sleep disturbances and psychosocial factors, namely waking up feeling tired and fatigued and feeling little interest or pleasure in doing things, revealed significant associations with the prevalence of WRMSD. Worse reports of health status also revealed a significant association with the presence of WRMSD. Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of multidimensional approaches in managing musculoskeletal health at work. The negative influence on health perception emphasizes the need for personalized preventive strategies. It is recommended that future investigations use more objective methods aimed at the identified risk factors. Despite its limitations, this work contributes to the understanding of WRMSD, aiming to improve the occupational health and quality of life of SCC workers.
