Evaluation of the influence of ergonomic intervention on the musculoskeletal disorders of Zahedan tailors.
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are among the major health problems of tailors. This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating posture type, assessment of pain in body parts and the impact of education on the frequency of such injuries in tailors. This interventional study was performed in two groups of male tailors (45 cases, 45 controls) using Quick Exposure Checklist (QEC) software and the Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire. The relationship between the qualitative variables was examined by χ2 test. Three months after the educational course, there was a significant decrease in the frequency of pain in most of the body parts (p < 0.05); mean of the QEC scores before the intervention was 79.04 ± 80.02 compared with 70.4 ± 8.3 after the intervention. It is suggested to hold cyclical educational courses along with other intervention programs for reducing the risks and dangers in the tailors.
