Abstract

Introduction: Nurses are exposed to various work related risk factors that may lead to musculoskeletal disorders. The purpose of this study was to assess work POSTUREs and their association with musculoskeletal complaints in NURSING profession.Materials and Methods: A number of nurses from Damghan Velayat educational hospital participated in this cross-sectional and descriptive study. Subjects were included; 48 employed nurses from ICU (n=12), CCU (n=12), surgery (n=11), and emergency room (n=13). Work POSTUREs were observed during practice and an adapted Nordic Standard Questionnaire was used to collect musculoskeletal complaints and symptoms. Data was analyzed using chi square test.Results: Data analysis showed that there was a high level of musculoskeletal disorders risk among those nurses (Risk Level 2 and 3). Musculoskeletal complaints were frequently made in relation to the lower back (58.3%), neck (50%), knee (33.3%), shoulders (10.41%), wrist (10.41%), back (8.3%), ankle (6.25%) and femur (4.16%). There was not any correlation between musculoskeletal symptoms and independent variables such as age, BMI and work experiences of nurses.Conclusion: Incorrect work POSTUREs may put the nurses at any risk levels of musculoskeletal disorders, regardless of body parts locations. The importance of work POSTUREs must be considered in training programs of safe working procedures to nurses in order to prevent the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
