Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are responsible for morbidity among many health professionals.
To establish the prevalence of self-reported WMSDs among health professionals.
Descriptive and exploratory study with health professionals at a hospital in northern Portugal. Data were collected in December 2017 by means of an electronic questionnaire applied to the total target population (n=435). We applied instruments for sociodemographic characterization, perception of knowledge on ergonomics and manual mobilization of loads, the Patient Handling Burden Scale (PHBS) and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) for self-reporting musculoskeletal symptoms.
The sample comprised 105 professionals, mainly nurses and nursing assistants, who exhibited high frequency of symptoms in several body areas, mainly the spine.
WMSDs involving health professionals should be considered a problem for health institutions which do not implement interventions beyond traditional training programs, especially multifactorial programs of systemic nature.
工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSDs）是许多卫生专业人员发病的原因。
确定卫生专业人员中自我报告的WMSDs的患病率。
对葡萄牙北部一家医院的卫生专业人员进行描述性和探索性研究。2017年12月通过电子问卷对全部目标人群（n = 435）收集数据。我们应用了社会人口学特征描述工具、对人体工程学和手动搬运负荷知识的认知工具、患者搬运负担量表（PHBS）以及用于自我报告肌肉骨骼症状的北欧肌肉骨骼问卷（NMQ）。
样本包括105名专业人员，主要是护士和护理助理，他们在几个身体部位出现症状的频率较高，主要是脊柱。
对于未实施传统培训项目以外干预措施的卫生机构，尤其是系统性多因素项目，涉及卫生专业人员的WMSDs应被视为一个问题。
