Analysis on characteristics and risk factors of common injuries in military communication operations

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of common injuries in communication operation soldier,and provide theoretical basis for optimizing occupational injury warning and protection. Methods From March to June 2024,a cross-sectional study was conducted using the military health protection status survey system of a certain unit to collect data on the operation personnel of a certain communication regiment. Comprehensive analysis was conducted from the aspects of basic situation,disease classification,and hazard factors. Results Among the 329 subjects,175 cases(53.19%) suffered occupational injury,and the top 3 occupational injuries were back pain(73 people,22.19%),memory loss(40 people,12.16%) and headache(37 people,11.25%). Age,job grade and special operating environment were correlated with the incidence of occupational injury(all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.03,95%CI：0.98-1.09),harmful gases(OR=2.72,95%CI：1.21-6.11),low oxygen environment at high altitude(OR=3.10,95%CI：1.82-5.30),and overtraining(OR=2.98,95%CI：1.28-6.97) were the risk factors for occupational injuries(all P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of military occupational injuries in special environment still remained at a quite high level,the medical service support can be improved by optimizing equipment,arranging for training scientifically and attaching importance to training environment.
