The CUPID (Cultural and Psychosocial Influences on Disability) Study: Methods of Data Collection and Characteristics of Study Sample

Background: The CUPID (Cultural and Psychosocial Influences on Disability) study was established to explore the hypothesis that common musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and associated disability are importantly influenced by culturally determined health beliefs and expectations. This paper describes the methods of data collection and various characteristics of the study sample. Methods/Principal Findings: A standardised questionnaire covering musculoskeletal symptoms, disability and potential risk factors, was used to collect information from 47 samples of nurses, office workers, and other (mostly manual) workers in 18 countries from six continents. In addition, local investigators provided data on economic aspects of employment for each occupational group. Participation exceeded 80% in 33 of the 47 occupational groups, and after pre-specified exclusions, analysis was based on 12,426 subjects (92 to 1018 per occupational group). As expected, there was high usage of computer keyboards by office workers, while nurses had the highest prevalence of heavy manual lifting in all but one country. There was substantial heterogeneity between occupational groups in economic and psychosocial aspects of work; three-to fivefold variation in awareness of someone outside work with musculoskeletal pain; and more than ten-fold variation in the prevalence of adverse health beliefs about back and arm pain, and in awareness of terms such as "repetitive strain injury" (RSI). Conclusions/Significance: The large differences in psychosocial risk factors (including knowledge and beliefs about MSDs) between occupational groups should allow the study hypothesis to be addressed effectively.

Aprender en el Atlántico, consolidando en el Pacífico

[ES]Las oportunidades de los egresados de las Facultades de Ciencias del Mar en España han estado vinculadas, de manera más o menos mayoritaria, a la investigación del mar en centros de investigación públicos y privados (en España o en el extranjero), o también a la docencia. También en la última década se ha visto un aumento de profesionales en la administración pública en puestos muy relacionados con las competencias profesionales propias de los licenciados en Ciencias del Mar y en las grandes firmas consultoras de ingeniería. Recientemente, las PYMES en el sector marino han aparecido con fuerza y suponen una nueva opción en las alternativas de trabajo de los futuros licenciados.
