Abstract: (975 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to develop a model for injury prevention through a participatory work-related musculoskeletal disorders (program designed to reduce localized pain across various body regions among workers in pig production slaughterhouses in Thailand.
Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 40 slaughterhouse workers who participated in a program designed to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The prevention program comprised four core activities. Self-administered questionnaires were used to assess the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders before and after the intervention. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 17 software by Chi-square and paired t-tests.
Findings: There was a significant reduction in work-related musculoskeletal disorders following the prevention program in four areas, including upper arms (p<0.001), hands/wrists (p=0.049), calves (p=0.031), and feet (p=0.007). Furthermore, the severity of pain associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders was significantly reduced after the intervention (t=7.654; p<0.001).
Conclusion: A workplace-based work-related musculoskeletal disorder prevention program is effective in reducing musculoskeletal discomfort and improving ergonomic practices among workers.
