RESUMO - Introdução: As lesões músculo-esqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho (LMERT) são um dos principais problemas de saúde ocupacional, afetando a produtividade e a qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a prevalência de sintomas de LMERT entre trabalhadores das áreas de emboxagem e desemboxagem da empresa SOGRAPE.
Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo transversal. A amostra foi composta por 15 trabalhadores, que responderam a um questionário baseado no Questionário Nórdico, sobre lesões músculo-esqueléticas, abordando aspetos sociodemográficos, condições de trabalho e presença de sintomas de LMERT. A análise estatística foi realizada utilizando o SPSS, versão 28.
Resultados: A maioria dos trabalhadores (73,3%) era do sexo feminino e 80% tinham entre 25 e 55 anos. As dores mais comuns foram relatadas no pescoço (75%) e no dorso (71,4%). Houve uma associação marginal entre dor na coxa e o género (p=0,05) e uma associação significativa entre dor no tornozelo/pé e a faixa etária (p=0,02), com maior prevalência na faixa de 45-55 anos.
Conclusões: Os resultados indicaram que, embora não se encontrassem diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre as atividades de trabalho, observou-se uma prevalência considerável de dores/sintomas músculo-esqueléticos, com destaque para as regiões do pescoço, dorso e lombar. Além disso, fatores como o tempo de trabalho, posturas extremas, repetitividade dos movimentos e o uso limitado de ajuda mecânica no manuseio de cargas foram identificados como principais fatores de risco para a presença de sintomatologia músculo-esquelética. Também se verificou influência das características individuais tais como: a idade, o sexo e o peso.
ABSTRACT - Introduction: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are a major occupational health issue, affecting workers' productivity and quality of life. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of WRMSD signs and symptoms among workers in the packaging and unpacking areas at SOGRAPE. Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. The sample consisted of 15 workers who answered a questionnaire based on the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, addressing sociodemographic factors, work conditions, and the presence of WRMSD signs and symptoms. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 28. Results: Most workers (73.3%) were female, and 80% were aged between 25 and 55 years. The most reported pains were in the neck (75%) and back (71.4%). There was a marginal association between thigh pain and gender (p=0.05), and a significant association between ankle/foot pain and age group (p=0.02), with the highest prevalence in the 45-55 age group. Body Mass Index (BMI) also influenced the prevalence of neck and ankle pain. Conclusions: The results indicated that, although there were no statistically significant differences between the work areas, a specific prevalence of musculoskeletal pain/symptoms was observed, particularly in the neck, back and lumbar regions. Furthermore, factors such as the pace of work, extreme postures, repetitive movements and the limited use of mechanical assistance when carrying loads were identified as main risk factors for WRMSD symptoms. The influence of individual characteristics such as age, sex and weight is also provided.
