This quasi-experimental study was conducted in a poultry processing industry with the aim of assessing the benefits of ergonomics educational training for novice and experienced workers in preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Sociodemographic and occupational questionnaires were used to evaluate age, marital status, education, time in job, musculoskeletal complaints and pain intensity, perceived effort, biomechanical exposure, and perception of ease or difficulty in adoption of ergonomics educational training. Musculoskeletal complaints in the neck, back, and wrists were reduced with training, but pain intensity was reduced only in the wrist region. A reduction in the occupational biomechanical exposure from the baseline to immediately post-training and 2 months after training both for novice and experienced workers was also observed. The novice workers group differed from the experienced workers by presenting a higher reduction of biomechanical exposure in the cutting room. All workers in this study benefited from the ergonomics educational training in the short and medium term. However, the success of training was highly dependent on the content and approach of the training.

这项准实验研究是在一个家禽加工业中进行的，目的是评估对新手和有经验的工人进行人体工程学教育培训在预防与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病方面的好处。社会人口学和职业问卷用于评估年龄、婚姻状况、教育、工作时间、肌肉骨骼疾病和疼痛强度、感知努力、生物力学暴露以及对采用人体工程学教育培训的难易程度的感知。颈部、背部和手腕的肌肉骨骼不适随着训练而减少，但仅手腕区域的疼痛强度有所减少。还观察到职业生物力学暴露从基线到培训后立即和培训后 2 个月对新手和有经验的工人的减少。新手工人组与经验丰富的工人不同，他们在裁剪室中更多地减少了生物力学暴露。本研究中的所有工人都受益于短期和中期的人体工程学教育培训。然而，培训的成功在很大程度上取决于培训的内容和方法。
