Result
The result showed that majority of the respondents (74.1%) had poor
quality of life with variation across four domains of physical,
environmental, socio relationship and psychological. Following multiple
logistic regression modelling, WRMSDs (ORadj 4.24, 95% CI 1.84, 9.77,
p-value=0.001) and the poor work design (ORadj 3.22, 95% CI 1.52, 6.82,
p-value=0.002) remained significant determinants of Qol.
Conclusion : This study showed poor quality of life among quarry
workers in Ebonyi state, Nigeria. Those with WRMSDs and had poor work
design were more likely to have poor quality of life compared to those
who had no WRMSDs and work in well-designed workplace.
