Izhodišča: Prisotnost bolečin je običajno eden vodilnih vzrokov za bolniško od-
sotnost. Metode: V raziskavi projekta Zdravi na kvadrat II – promocija zdravja
na delovnem mestu v kemijski in drugih predelovalnih industrijah, izvedeni
spomladi 2016 na vzorcu N=860 delavcih iz 19 slovenskih podjetjih, smo med
drugim želeli raziskati povezavo med vplivom spola in starosti na prisotnost bo-
lečin, ki so jih navedli kot vodilni zdravstveni problem. Zanimalo nas je tudi ali
je vrsta dela povezana s prisotnostjo bolečin. Rezultati: Ugotovili smo, da imajo
delavci, ki opravljajo težja fizična dela, težave z bolečinami v križu, vratu ali ra-
menih, in sicer med 80 in 91%. Med njimi ima z nespečnostjo težave okoli 41%
oseb ter med 25 in 37% z depresijo. Med ženskami je ta delež še nekoliko višji.
Starejši od 40 let navajajo več prisotnih bolečin. Okoli 90% delavcev, ki opravl-
jajo delo v prisilni drži se spopada z bolečinami in to predstavlja 4,5 krat pove-
čano tveganje v primerjavi z ostalimi delavci. Daljšo bolniško odsotnost je ko-
ristilo večji delež (35%) tistih delavcev, ki pretežno opravljajo težja dela. Večji
obet za bolniško odsotnost imajo tako starejši od 40 let v primerjavi z mlajšimi,
ženske v primerjavi z moškimi, in tisti, ki opravljajo težja fizična dela. Diskusija in
zaključki. Raziskava kaže na potrebo po sistematični implementaciji ukrepov za
preprečevanje bolečin pri delu.
Ključne besede: bolečine, zdravstveni problem, delavci, bolniška odsotnost,
vrsta dela
Introduction: The presence of pain is usually one of the leading causes of sick
leave. Methods: In a survey of the project Healthy on a square II – workplace
health promotion in the chemical and other process industries, implemented
in the spring of 2016 on a sample of N=860 workers from 19 Slovenian com-
panies, we wanted to explore among other things the link between the influ-
ence of gender and age on the presence of pain, which were mentioned as the
leading health problem. We also tried to establish whether the type of work
is associated with the presence of pain. Results: We have found that workers
engaged in hard physical work, reported problems with pain in the low back,
neck or shoulders, between 80 and 91%. Among those around 41% of people
has problems with insomnia, furthermore between 25 and 37% with depres-
sion. Among women this share is even slightly higher. Workers older than 40
years of age indicated the more presence of pain. Around 90% of workers who
carry out work in a forced- compulsory- posture is struggling with the pain and
this represents a 4.5-fold increased risk compared to other workers. Longer
sickness absence is of benefit to the largest share (35%) of those workers who
predominantly perform such work. Greater outlook for sick leave have both
workers older than 40 years compared to younger, women compared to men,
and those performing hard physical work. Discussion and conclusions: The study
