Abstract
ความผิดปกติของระบบโครงร่างและกล้ามเนื้อจากการทำงานเป็นปัญหาสำคัญที่ส่งผลต่อประสิทธิภาพการผลิต สุขภาพและความปลอดภัยของผู้ปฏิบัติงาน การศึกษานี้มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อศึกษาปัจจัยที่ส่งผลต่อความผิดปกติทางระบบโครงร่างและกล้ามเนื้อของผู้ปฏิบัติงานในกระบวนการฟอกและย้อมสีเส้นไหมของกลุ่มอาชีพทอผ้าไหม จังหวัดนครราชสีมา จำนวน 400 คน เก็บรวบรวมข้อมูลด้วยแบบสอบถามที่ประยุกต์จาก Standardized Nordic questionnaire และประยุกต์ใช้แบบประเมินความเสี่ยงอาการผิดปกติของระบบโครงร่างและกล้ามเนื้อของกรมควบคุมโรค วิเคราะห์ข้อมูลโดยใช้สถิติเชิงพรรณนาและการถดถอยพหุคูณ (Binary logistic regression) ผลการศึกษา พบว่าตำแหน่งที่มีการปวดเมื่อยกล้ามเนื้อของสมาชิกกลุ่มอาชีพทอผ้าไหมมากที่สุด คือ ไหล่ขวา และ ไหล่ซ้าย หลังส่วนล่าง ข้อศอกขวา คอ และข้อศอกซ้าย ตามลำดับ ปัจจัยที่ส่งผลต่ออาการผิดปกติทางระบบโครงร่างและกล้ามเนื้อของสมาชิกกลุ่มอาชีพทอผ้าไหม ได้แก่ ดัชนีมวลกาย การลงน้ำหนักตัวข้างใดข้างหนึ่ง การเอื้อมมือเหนือไหล่เพื่อหยิบจับสิ่งของ การก้มอย่างต่อเนื่อง และการเงยคอหรือแอ่นหลัง
Musculoskeletal disorders in workers of the silk weaving profession has become a significant problem affecting the production effectiveness, health and safety of workers. This study aims at exploring the factors affecting the musculoskeletal disorders of 400 members of the degumming and dyeing process of silk weaving profession in Nakhon Ratchasima province. The data was collected by using questionnaires applied from the Standardized Nordic questionnaire and the musculoskeletal disorders evaluation form developed by the Department of Disease Control. The data was analyzed in statistic descriptive and binary logistic regression. The results revealed that the silk weaving professionals had problems of muscle aches with the most affected areas being: right shoulder, left shoulder, lower back, right elbow, neck and left elbow. Factors affecting the musculoskeletal disorders found were: 1) the body mass index, 2) weighing down on one side of the body, 3) reaching above the shoulder to pick up or hold the material, 4) continuous bending down of their heads to work, and 5) repetitive raised neck or back during work.
