Abstract: Las acciones dirigidas a la mejora de la seguridad y de la salud laboral surgieron de la necesidad de proteger frente a los accidentes a los empleados que trabajaban en industrias europeas como en centrales nucleares o en industrias químicas de gran escala. Actualmente, este c o ha evolucionado en multitud de direcciones, siendo la prevención y el manejo de los trastornos musculoesqueléticos (TME) una de sus principales líneas de actuación, debido a que son el principal motivo de baja laboral en los trabajadores. Concretamente, la prevalencia de los TME representa más de 1,3 mil millones de personas y una pérdida de más de 100 millones de años de vida por incapacidad siendo una causa común de incapacidad y de bajas laborales. Históricamente, el abordaje de los TME desde el lugar de trabajo se ha focalizado en la adopción de medidas ergonómicas, lo que ha sido positivo en algunos casos. Sin embargo, a pesar de las ergonómicas y biomecánicas llevadas de manera generalizada en los puestos de trabajo, el aumento de la prevalencia de los TME a escala global indica que no son medidas suficientes por si solas., Por lo tanto, nuevos enfoques holísticos que tengan en cuenta aspectos biológicos, psicológicos y sociales para su abordaje son necesarios. Desde la Alianza Europea Prevent4Work para la prevención de los TME en el ámbito laboral, se ha elaborado este documento en forma de guía en base al conocimiento científico más reciente y relevante. Tanto las empresas como sus trabajadores se pueden beneficiar de las recomendaciones de esta guía.

Abstract: Work-related musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a highly prevalent condition and one of the main contributors to disability and loss of work capacity. Current approaches to the management and prevention of work-related MSK pain do not consistently integrate current evidence-based knowledge and seem to be outdated. The Prevent4Work (P4W) Project aims to collect and spread evidence-based information to improve the management and prevention of work-related MSK pain. P4W will longitudinally investigate (1) risk factors associated with the prevalence of work-related MSK pain, (2) predictive factors for new events of work-related MSK pain in the short term and (3) the modification of pain beliefs after participating in evidence-based e-learning courses. This project employs a mixed-methods design with international cohorts of workers from Spain, Italy and Denmark. All participants will be assessed using self-reported variables at baseline (ie, cross-sectional design) with follow-up after 3 and 6 months (ie, prospective–predictive design). Throughout the first phase (0–3 months), all participants will be offered to self-enrol in e-learning courses on work-related MSK pain. Changes in pain beliefs (if any) will be assessed. The dataset will include sociodemographic characteristics, physical and psychological job demands, lifestyle-related factors, MSK pain history and pain beliefs. At baseline, all participants will additionally complete the P4W questionnaire developed to detect populations at high risk of suffering work-related MSK pain. Descriptive statistics, binary logistic regression, and analysis of variance will be used to identify the significant factors that influence the history of work-related MSK pain, evaluate the short-term prediction capacity of the P4W questionnaire, and investigate whether workers’ participation in e-learning courses will modify their pain beliefs. The study received ethical approval from the Ethical Committee of San Jorge University (USJ011-19/20). The results will be made available via peer-reviewed publications, international conferences and P4W official channels.

Abstract: Le azioni volte a migliorare la salute e la sicurezza sul lavoro sono nate dalla necessità di proteggere dagli incidenti i dipendenti che lavorano nelle industrie europee, come le centrali nucleari o le grandi industrie chimiche. Oggi, questo c o si è evoluto in molte direzioni, e la prevenzione e la gestione dei disturbi muscoloscheletrici (DMS) è una delle sue principali linee d'azione, dato che sono la ragione principale per cui i lavoratori si assentano dal lavoro. In particolare, la prevalenza dei DMS rappresenta più di 1,3 miliardi di persone e una perdita di più di 100 milioni di anni di vita a causa della disabilità sono una causa comune di inabilità e di assenza per malattia. Storicamente, l'approccio ai DMS sul posto di lavoro si è concentrato sull'adozione di misure ergonomiche, che in alcuni casi sono state positive. Tuttavia, nonostante le misure ergonomiche e biomeccaniche siano iamente implementate sul posto di lavoro, la crescente prevalenza dei DMS su scala globale indica che non sono misure sufficienti da sole, quindi sono necessari nuovi approcci olistici che tengano conto degli aspetti biologici, psicologici e sociali per affrontarli. L'Alleanza europea Prevent4Work per la prevenzione dei DMS sul posto di lavoro ha sviluppato questo documento come guida basata sulle più recenti e rilevanti conoscenze scientifiche. Sia le aziende che i loro dipendenti possono beneficiare delle raccomandazioni di questa guida.

Abstract: Actions to improve occupational health and safety arose from the need to protect employees working in European industries, such as nuclear power plants or large-scale chemical industries, from accidents. Today, the field has evolved in many directions, with the prevention and management of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) being one of its main lines of action. MSDs are the main reason for workers to take time off work. Specifically, the prevalence of MSDs represents more than 1.3 billion people and a loss of more than 100 million years of life due to disability they are a common cause of disability and sick leave. Historically, the workplace approach to MSDs has focused on adopting ergonomic measures, which has been positive in some cases. However, despite ergonomic and biomechanical measures being widely implemented in the workplace, the increasing prevalence of MSDs globally indicates that they are not sufficient measures on their own. Therefore, new holistic approaches that take biological, psychological, and social aspects are needed to address them. The European Prevent4Work Alliance for innovative measures to prevent MSDs in the workplace has developed this document as a guide based on the most recent and relevant scientific knowledge. Both companies and their employees can benefit from the recommendations of this guide
