專櫃人員大多以女性為主，屬於長時間站立的特殊工作類型，本研究以此族群為對
象，調查與下肢靜脈曲張有關的危險因子，以提供百貨業者進行職場健康促進及職業災害
預防的策略與方向。本研究採橫斷式研究，以某百貨公司南部四個分店的女性專櫃人員為
研究族群，調查個人特質、工作相關因素及靜脈曲張盛行概況。共調查女性專櫃人員550
人，回收之有效樣本為511份(93%)。資料之分析採SAS統計軟體，以邏輯迴歸進行多因子
分析，探討與專櫃人員靜脈曲張相關的危險因子。結果發現女性專櫃人員靜脈曲張盛行率
為54%，其中9成人員為第一期之輕度患者。50歲以上、高中以下學歷、銷售服務年資達15
年以上之專櫃人員，靜脈曲張盛行率均達70%以上，為高危險族群。與靜脈曲張有關的危
險因子分別為年齡、家族史及工作年資：在年齡上，相對於25歲以下族群，26歲及以上各
族群之OR為3.31-4.41；有家族史者OR為3.23；相對於服務3年以下，銷售服務年資達15年
及以上者OR為4.56。本研究由於採取橫斷性的短期資料收集方式，因此除了銷售服務年資
外，未能建立其他工作因素與下肢靜脈曲張之關係，建議未來研究能繼續針對職場因子做
長期性的評估。

Sales personnel in the department stores are mostly females who work in a standing position
for long hours of time. This study aims to investigate the risk factors associated with varicose
veins among saleswomen in the department stores, in order to provide a basis for future
health promotion activities. This study was conducted cross-sectionally. The saleswomen from
four branches of a department store were included as the study population. This study collected
information on personal characteristics, relevant workplace factors, and prevalence of
varicose veins. Among five hundred and fifty saleswomen who were contacted for participation,
511 returned the questionnaires, which yielded 93% of the response rate.
The results showed that fifty four percent of the subjects self-reported having varicose
veins. Ninety percent of those who reported having varicose veins were classified as Class 1.
Prevalence of saleswomen, whose age greater than 51, having no high school diploma, and
having equal or greater than 15 years of work experience, have all reached 70% and was
therefore regarded as high risk groups. Risk factors associated with varicose veins were age,
family history, and work experience. Compared to aged 25 or less, OR for groups equal or
greater than aged 26 were 3.31-4.41. OR for those with family history of varicose veins was
3.23. Compared to those working for less than 3 years, OR for those working for 15 years and
up was 4.56. Since the nature of short-term data collection in the cross-sectional study design,
besides work experience, this study did not establish relationship between other workplace
factors and varicose veins of the lower extremities. We suggest future study continuously focus
on occupational factors and be conducted with long-term evaluation design.
