The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery specialists and trainees in Spain, and to measure the effect that physical exercise could have on muscular discomfort.
A cross-sectional survey was administered between September and December 2017 to practising otolaryngologists.
Four hundred and three ENT surgeons responded, with a median age of 44.9 years, and 89.8 per cent reported discomfort or physical symptoms that they attributed to surgical practice. More female surgeons reported musculoskeletal symptoms (92.8 per cent vs 87.1 per cent; p = 0.04). When the level of physical activity was compared with the frequency of physical discomfort, no significant difference was found.
This study has shown a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among ENT surgeons in Spain but has failed to demonstrate an important role of physical exercise in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders.
本研究的主要目的是确定西班牙耳鼻喉科及头颈外科专科医生和实习医生中与工作相关的肌肉骨骼症状的患病率，并衡量体育锻炼对肌肉不适可能产生的影响。
2017年9月至12月对在职耳鼻喉科医生进行了一项横断面调查。
403名耳鼻喉科外科医生做出回应，中位年龄为44.9岁，89.8%的人报告了他们认为归因于手术操作的不适或身体症状。报告肌肉骨骼症状的女外科医生更多（92.8%对87.1%；p = 0.04）。当比较身体活动水平与身体不适频率时，未发现显著差异。
本研究表明西班牙耳鼻喉科外科医生中肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率很高，但未能证明体育锻炼在预防肌肉骨骼疾病方面的重要作用。
