Student Employee Injuries

Four hundred and seventy-six student workers completed the survey in March 2010. The majority of respondents were women (66%) and the mean age of all respondents was 20yr. The pre-validated tool was taken from the Youth Employment and School Study (YESS) and contains hazardous scale scales. The results show significant differences in the number of work-school conflicts, burnout, occupational accidents, and workloads between injured and injured groups. Odds estimates show that body and workload accidents have two times higher prevalence of 1-3 injuries (OR = 1.80, 1.09-3.00; OR = 1.72, 1.12-2.60), and 2 to 3 increases. 4 or more injuries (OR = 2.94, 1.65-5.24; OR = 2.34,1.51-3.64). Positive executive relationships appeared to reduce the risk of injury (OR = 0.48, 0.25-0.91; OR = 0.59, 0.32-1.09). Reducing work stress, teaching students how to handle workloads, reducing exposure to physical hazards, and providing examples of common work habits can reduce the number of physical injuries experienced by people.
