There is little data available on job stress dimensions and their relationship to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among Iranian nurses.
The objectives of this study were to investigate job stress dimensions and examine their relationship to MSDs among nurses of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS) hospitals.
In this cross-sectional study, 385~randomly selected nurses of SUMS participated. The Persian version of Job Content Questionnaire (P-JCQ) and Nordic MSDs questionnaire were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney U test were applied for data analysis.
Decision latitude and social support dimensions had low levels, but psychological and physical job demands as well as job insecurity dimensions had high levels among the nurses. 89.9% of the subjects experienced some form of MSDs during the last 12 months. Lower back symptoms were the most prevalent problem reported (61.8%). Physical isometric loads was the only sub-scale that had significant relationship with MSDs.
In the majority of cases, subjects were exposed to high levels of job stress. MSDs prevalence was high. Based on the results, any interventional program for MSDs prevention should focus on reducing physical and psychological job demands as well as increasing decision latitudes.
关于伊朗护士的工作压力维度及其与肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）的关系，现有数据较少。
本研究的目的是调查设拉子医科大学（SUMS）医院护士的工作压力维度，并检验其与MSD的关系。
在这项横断面研究中，随机选取了385名SUMS护士参与。使用波斯语版工作内容问卷（P-JCQ）和北欧MSD问卷进行数据收集。采用描述性统计和曼-惠特尼U检验进行数据分析。
护士的决策自由度和社会支持维度水平较低，但心理和身体工作需求以及工作不安全感维度水平较高。89.9%的受试者在过去12个月内经历过某种形式的MSD。下背部症状是报告中最普遍的问题（61.8%）。身体等长负荷是唯一与MSD有显著关系的子量表。
在大多数情况下，受试者面临高水平的工作压力。MSD患病率较高。基于这些结果，任何预防MSD的干预计划都应侧重于降低身体和心理工作需求以及增加决策自由度。
