The purpose of this study was to examine personal, occupational, and psychosocial risk factors affecting prevalence of low back pain in healthcare workers.
Study included total of 1682 participants (1010 female, 672 male) working at Denizli State Hospital. Low back pain section of Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (SNMA) was used to evaluate recent occurrence, pain experienced within previous year, and over lifetime. Perceived Stress Scale and Job Satisfaction Scale were also administered.
Prevalence of lifetime low back pain in healthcare workers was determined to be 53% based on SNMA. It was observed that low back pain was most common among medical secretaries (56.9%). Advanced age, female gender, high body mass index (p=0.002), being married (p=0.0001), lack of regular exercise (p=0.009), working for more than 4 hours while standing (p=0.012) or sitting at desk (p=0.021), using computer for more than 4 hours (p=0.0001), greater number of years of service (p=0.001), and low job satisfaction (p=0.001) were found to be factors increasing low back pain risk.
Our study demonstrated that healthcare workers are among group with high risk of low back pain.
本研究旨在探讨影响医护人员腰痛患病率的个人、职业和社会心理风险因素。
研究共纳入了1682名在代尼兹利州立医院工作的参与者（1010名女性，672名男性）。采用标准化北欧肌肉骨骼问卷（SNMA）的腰痛部分来评估近期发病情况、过去一年以及一生中经历的疼痛。还使用了感知压力量表和工作满意度量表。
根据SNMA，医护人员一生中腰痛的患病率为53%。观察发现，医疗秘书中腰痛最为常见（56.9%）。高龄、女性、高体重指数（p = 0.002）、已婚（p = 0.0001）、缺乏定期锻炼（p = 0.009）、站立工作超过4小时（p = 0.012）或伏案工作超过4小时（p = 0.021）、使用电脑超过4小时（p = 0.0001）、工作年限较长（p = 0.001）以及工作满意度较低（p = 0.001）被发现是增加腰痛风险的因素。
我们的研究表明，医护人员是腰痛高风险群体之一。
