Abstract

Background and Objective: Nail extension is a profession which has been entered Iran recently and is expanding vastly. Every profession has its own harmful effects. Accordingly, nail salon workers are exposed to ergonomic risk factors due to their awkward posture and equipment and the applied tools. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to evaluate the ergonomic status of nail salon workers in Sabzevar, Iran. Materials and Methods: This descriptive analytical study was performed on Nail Workers working in beauty salons. The determination of the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders was accomplished using Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire; furthermore, a novel ergonomic postural assessment (NERPA) method was utilized to evaluate body posture while working. Additionally, the lighting of the work surface was measured to determine its association with musculoskeletal disorders. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 17). Results: According to the results, the highest prevalence of pain was observed in the neck (63. 8%), followed by the upper back (51. 3%), waist (42. 5%), shoulder (41. 3%), and wrist (37. 6%). Body posture assessment by means of NERPA method also showed that the final score was at the highest level (i. e., score 7 representing the need for immediate change) in all cases (100%). In addition, the intensity of the work surface Local Lighting was lower than the mandatory occupational exposure limit value of Iran (46. 81%). Conclusion: As the finding indicated, musculoskeletal disorders are highly prevalent among Nail Workers given the unfamiliarity of this profession and lack of sufficient monitoring by occupational hygiene inspectors. Consequently, health care organizations should pay more attention to establish rules and standards to reduce these complications.
