职业疾病在人群中的发病率很高，长时间工作、不良姿势、心理和身体压力等因素都可能导致其发生。在与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病中，背痛的患病率很高。本研究的目的是量化和描述疼痛症状，并识别出患有腰痛的个体，以评估残疾程度。一所高等教育机构的226名员工参与了研究。他们回答了一份关于疼痛症状的位置和量化的一般问卷、疼痛视觉模拟量表以及魁北克残疾问卷。在所有员工中，69.60%有某种类型的肌肉骨骼疾病；其中，15.41%患有腰痛。在患有背痛的员工中，54.9%为女性，52.94%年龄在30岁以下，43.14%工作年限在1至5年之间。至于残疾程度的最终得分，41.17%有轻微残疾，37.25%有中度残疾。本研究发现疼痛症状数量众多，腰痛患病率很高，导致个体无法正常工作并在工作活动中遇到困难。
