Abstract

The purposes of this study were to investigate risk factor of low back pain in civil airmen and to use this information as basis for the back rehabilitation. Subjects of this study were randomly selected 276 civil airmen who had been employed atfourairports in Seoul These dta were analyzed by χ2 test, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple logistic repression using SAS. The results were as follows: 1) The prevalence of low back pain among 276 civil airmen was 64.9%. 2) The most commoncauseoflow back pain was load lifting (stewardess), long sitting (aircrew A), and long sitting plus training (aircrew B). 3) There were no statistically significant associations among age, height, body weight, and low back pain. 4) No statisticallysignificant relationships were found among the average monthly working time, total working time, average monthly rest time, work in year and low back pain. 5) There was statistically significant relationship between abnormal posture and low backpain(p<.01). 6) There was statistically significant relationship between fatigue and low back pain among stewardess and aircrew B. 7) There was a statistically significant relationship between job satisfaction and job-related stress (p<.05). 8) Instewardess, higher satisfaction score was associated with less likelihood of low back pain (odds ratio =.80). The results of this study indicate that civil airmen developed chronicity of low backpain due to unfit set, poor habitual posture, fatigue symptom, and stress or other riskfactor. Therefore, there is a need to improve the working environment for the preventionof posture-related low back pain.
