Objective To assess the impact of work-related stress on neck, shoulder and waist symptoms among acid-making workers. Methods The occupational stress inventory revised edition (OSI-R) was employed to assess occupational role, occupational stress response and coping resources for stress among 498 acid-making workers. Neck, shoulder and waist symptoms in the past 12 months were determined by the Chinese Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire. Results The prevalence rates of neck, shoulder and waist diseases were 56.2%, 52.9% and 61.2%, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that higher occupational stress responses also had greater OR value, except for older age, suffering from other diseases, bending over for 30 minutes or more and heavy and above labor, which could increase the risk of the disease of the neck,shoulder and waist of the acid workers. The results from multiple regression showed that work-related stress was the risk factors for symptoms of neck (OR of 3.32), shoulder (OR of 3.33) and waist (OR of 2.47), except suffering from other diseases. Conclusion The occupational stress was the risk factor for diseases in the neck,shoulder and waist. Eliminating occupational stress response and increasing coping resources may reduce neck, shoulder and waist symptoms among acid-making workers.
