Resumo: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are diseases that affect the soft tissues. Of an insidious and multifactor nature, they often result from ergonomic risks, and show pains as a common symptom. This study searched for possible associations between personal features, labour organization and pain incidence among employees at a furniture manufacturer in the city of Araçatuba, SP. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 158 employees from the company's different sectors in 2007, with questions addressing age and sex, labour issues (sector, seniority, position, and weekly working hours), as well as musculoskeletal pain symptoms. Pain was reported by 58.9% of the employees and significantly related to gender (p=0.0001), sector (p=0.0021), position (p=0.0135), and weekly working hours (p=0.0123). Pain was predominant in women, depending on sector, position, and weekly working hours. In order to relieve pain, most workers took medicine or simply ignored it. Results point to the need to physical therapy treatment and preventive action.

Têm um nexo causal com fatores de risco ergonômicos e um caráter insidioso e multifatorial, apresentando como sintoma comum dores musculoesqueléticas. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar possível associação entre características pessoais, organização do trabalho e presença de dor em funcionários de uma indústria moveleira no município de Araçatuba, SP. Foi aplicado um questionário a uma amostra de 158 funcionários de diversos setores da empresa, com questões de caráter sociodemográfico (sexo, idade), trabalhista (setor, tempo de serviço, função desempenhada e jornada de trabalho semanal), bem como sobre sintomas dolorosos musculoesqueléticos. Dor foi relatada por 58,9% dos funcionários e relacionada de maneira significativa com o sexo (p=0,0001), setor de trabalho (p=0,0021), função desempenhada (p=0,0135) e jornada de trabalho semanal (p=0,0123). A dor predominou em mulheres, dependendo do setor, da função desempenhada e da jornada de trabalho semanal. Para tentar saná-la, a maioria dos trabalhadores usa medicamentos ou adota a atitude de ignorá-la. Os resultados sugerem a necessidade de intervenção fisioterapêutica preventiva.
