This study analyzed factors influencing the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders in fashion designers and examined differences in these stress factors compared to vehicle maintenance workers. This study sought to comprehensively address the issue of musculoskeletal disorders through a variety of approaches. Using a risk score prediction table based on a questionnaire developed, we examined physical stress. Furthermore, we examined differences in mental stress across occupations using the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency's Korean Job Stress Survey. Furthermore, we examined work environment stress issues using the US Z365 assessment tool scores and assessed the level of job stress using the Job Stress Index (JSI). The results of this study reveal that, first, physical stress factors were less different from those of vehicle maintenance workers. Second, mental stress factors differed between fashion designers and vehicle maintenance workers, with fashion designers experiencing higher levels of mental stress than vehicle maintenance workers. Third, there were differences in work-related stress factors between fashion designers and vehicle maintenance workers. Fashion designers were burdened by fixed working postures, and effective measures to reduce this burden were needed. Fourth, there were differences in job stress (JSI) between fashion designers and vehicle maintenance workers. Fifth, fashion designers experienced the greatest burden of mental stress among the various stress factors, suggesting that mental stress may play a significant role in the resulting musculoskeletal disorders.
