This research consists of a quantitative descriptive study whose objective was to verify the occurrence of pain/discomfort in individuals in a metallurgic industry in Ponta Grossa - PR. The data collection was carried out through five instruments: the first composed by individual questions, the second regarded the Nordic Musculoeskeletal Questionnaire, the third was McGill Questionnaire, the fourth was the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire, and de fifth, Visual Analogue Scale of Pain. The instruments aimed to identify and characterize muskuloeskeltal symptoms related to pain, as well as the most affected body regions and relate them to work functions, also characterize age, sex, years in the activity among others. The sample comprised the totality of workers in the painting section of the company (90 employees), from who 98% were male and 2% female. The average age was 31 years old. Results revealed that the region with the highest occurrence of pain/discomfort, according to workers accounts, was the lumbar region for workers in the painting, industrial operator, industrial manager and production assistant functions. The ankle and feet regions were most affected in workers developing functions of tally clerk and forklift operator; the wrist hand, hands and fingers were the biggest problem for the effluent and forklift operators. Waist and thigh were the most reported regions by workers in transportation activities. No frequent pain/discomfort was reported by Industrial Supervisors or Chemistry Technicians. Thus, it was concluded that musculoeskeletal symptoms related to pain in the functions analyzed are part of the routine of the workers interviewed causing pain/discomfort, even evolving into RSI/WRMSD. The need to promote instruction, ergonomic analyses and preventive actions aiming at the best way the workers can develop their activities in order to eliminate or minimize the incidence of RSI/WRMSD was identified. |
