TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Associations of shift work and its duration with work-related injury among electronics factory workers in South Korea JO - International journal of environmental research and public health A1 - Ryu, Jia A1 - Jung-Choi, Kyunghee A1 - Choi, Kyung-Hwa A1 - Kwon, Ho-Jang A1 - Kang, Chungwon A1 - Kim, Hyunjoo SP - e14111429 EP - e14111429 VL - 14 IS - 11 N2 - This study aimed to explore the association between shift work and work-related injuries. We collected data on workers from an electronics factory. This cross-sectional study included 13,610 subjects, who were assessed based on a self-reported questionnaire about their shift work experiences, work-related injuries, and other covariates. Multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations between shift work and work-related injuries and were estimated using the odds ratio. We found that the current and past shift workers, compared to non-shift workers, were associated with a 2.7- and 1.7-fold higher risk of work-related injury. There was a dose-response relationship between shift work duration and work-related injury among current female shift workers. Shift work increased the risk of work-related injuries, and the impact could be different depending on gender.
