Abstract

Background and Aims: Work related MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS are common in midwifery practice which requires extensive labor-intensive tasks. Therefore MIDWIVES are prone to MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS. This study aims at investigating the risk factors and musculoskeletal symptoms among in MIDWIVES.Method: we conducted this cross-sectional study in Hamedan, western Iran. Active MIDWIVES (n=134) were asked to complete the questionnaires (demographic and a version of the Nordic questionnaire) if they had at least 1 year experience in practice and were not pregnant during the previous year. 102 MIDWIVES completed the questionnaires. Data were analysed by SPSS v.10 software. Results: 66.7% of the MIDWIVES reported some musculoskeletal symptoms, of which 54% was work related. The most common musculoskeletal symptoms were low back pain (50%), shoulders and wrists (46%). There were significant associations between musculoskeletal symptoms and marital status (p< 0.001), duration of employment (p<0.02), shift work (p<0.0001), work place (p<0.002) and hours per month spent for performing tasks (p<0.01). However, there was no significant association between the symptoms and age, BMI, and the number of childbirth. 51.9% of MIDWIVES required treatment, 33.3% missed work for seven days or more and 22.2% changed their work place.Conclusion: These findings indicate that MIDWIVES require more in-service training about their posture to reduce the prevalence of work- related symptoms and improve their overall performance.
