新竹科學園區從業人員肌肉骨骼系統傷害症狀分布調查

Prevalence of Musculoskeletal Symptoms for Employees in Hsin-Chu Science-Based Industrial Park

本研究以新竹科學園區之積體電路、電腦、與通訊三產業之從業人員為對象進行肌肉骨骼系統傷害症狀之分佈調查。調查的工具採用標準化NMQ 問卷。調查的結果顯示肌肉骨骼系統傷害症狀在科學園區也相當的普遍，而身體部位症狀之分佈在三個產業之間不盡相同，其中通訊業人員反應有肩部症狀之比例顯著的高於其他兩產業；而在腳部的症狀方面通訊業反應有症狀之比例則顯著的低於其他兩產業，這種症狀分佈的差異可歸因於其作業型態之不同所致。在作業員與工程師的比較方面，積體電路業作業員反應有症狀的比例顯著的高於工程師，然而在電腦與通訊業則未發現兩類的作業人員之間有這種顯著的症狀比例差異。對於症狀與工作關連性之認知方面作業員與工程師之間並無顯著的不同，除了通訊業工程師認為肩部症狀完全是由工作所引進的比例顯著的高於作業員以外。研究也比較了人員不同現職年資層間症狀比例之差異，發覺在積體電路業之下背部與通訊業之肩部症狀比例在不同現職年資曾間之差異是顯著的，其他的產業/身體部位則不顯著。

This research investigates the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms for employees in integrated circuit, computer, and communication industries in Hsin-Chu Science-Based Industrial Park. Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was adopted for the study. The results showed that musculoskeletal symptoms are common for employees in Science Park. The prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among the three industries was different. Employees in communication industry reported significantly higher percentage of shoulder symptoms than employees in integrated circuit and computer industries. The percentage of foot symptoms in communication industry was, on the contrary, significantly lower than those of the other two industries. The difference among the industries might be attributed to the job design of the sectors. Comparison of proportion of symptoms between operators and engineers showed that significant difference exist in integrated circuit industry. The percentage of reported musculoskeletal symptoms of operators was significantly higher than those of the engineers. Such differences were, however, not found in computer and communication industries. The subjective response of operators and engineers as far as whether their symptoms were work-related or not were compared. The only significant result was found in the shoulder symptom in communication industry. Comparisons among experiences on present position were also conducted. Significant results were found in the low back symptoms of integrated circuit industry and the shoulder symptoms of communication industry.
