Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of an instrument (semi-structured interview) called Workload Analysis Instrument (WAI) (Análisis de Carga de Trabajo ACT), in detecting the presence of occupational risk in patients presenting an upper-limb musculoskeletal disorder. The test instrument was developed by Asociación Chilena de Seguridad (ACHS). This instrument will be applied to the worker when he or she visits the ACHS health care facility. The test administration is performed by an ergonomics specialist previously trained in WAI. WAI is the index test and the gold standard will be the Estudio de Puesto de Trabajo (EPT) resolution. The hypothesis of the study is that WAI is able to correctly label the occupational origin (rule in or rule out) of an upper-limb musculoskeletal disorder. Sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value will be established.

Análisis de carga de trabajo (ACT)

Semi-structured interview for detecting possible occupational etiology of an upper limb musculoskeletal disease that has been reported (by the worker) as possibly of occupational origin. The instrument is called Workload Analysis Instrument (WAI) or Análisis de Carga de Trabajo (ACT).
