Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are an important public health problem in working environments. WMSDs are the major causes of disability and cause individual suffering and financial burdens to the individual, families, industry or employer, healthcare system, and society at large. This study aims to assess the prevalence and associated factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among bankers working in Mekelle city, Tigray, Ethiopia, 2018. This study is based on an institutional-based cross-sectional study design, where 328 bankers are selected randomly from bankers working in Mekelle city from February to June 2018. Data were entered, organized, and analyzed by SPSS version 23. A final logistic model was run to identify factors associated with WMSDs, and the magnitude and direction of association were decided based on the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI).
Out of 307 bankers, the annual prevalence rate of WMSDs was 65.5% (201). Significant predictors were being 30-39 years old [AOR = 5.552; 95% CI = 1.465-21.039] and above 40 years old [AOR = 5.719; 95% CI = 1.422-22.994], low educational level [AOR = 4.256; 95% CI = 1.139-15.895], working > 5 years [AOR = 3.892; 95% CI = 1.841-8.231], not doing physical exercises [AOR = 2.866; 95% CI = 1.303-6.304], stress [AOR = 4.723; 95% CI = 2.421-9.213], poor posture [AOR = 2.692; 95% CI = 1.339-5.411], breaks [AOR = 5.170; 95% CI = 2.070-12.912], and ergonomics [AOR = 3.801; 95% CI = 1.260-11.472].
The prevalence of WMSDs among bankers was high. The significant associated factors responsible for the occurrence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders include longer working experience, being above 30 years old, low educational status, physical exercise, job stress, poor posture, absence of breaks during working hours, and absence of ergonomic training.
与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSD）是工作环境中的一个重要公共卫生问题。WMSD 是导致残疾的主要原因，会给个人、家庭、工业或雇主、医疗保健系统和整个社会带来个人痛苦和经济负担。本研究旨在评估在埃塞俄比亚提格雷地区梅克莱市工作的银行家患与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率和相关因素，2018 年。本研究基于机构为基础的横断面研究设计，从 2018 年 2 月至 6 月期间从梅克莱市工作的银行家中随机选择 328 名银行家。数据由 SPSS 版本 23 输入、组织和分析。最后运行逻辑模型以确定与 WMSD 相关的因素，以及关联的大小和方向是基于调整后的优势比（AOR）及其相应的 95%置信区间（95%CI）来决定的。
在 307 名银行家中，WMSD 的年患病率为 65.5%（201）。显著的预测因素是 30-39 岁[优势比（AOR）=5.552；95%置信区间（95%CI）=1.465-21.039]和 40 岁以上[AOR=5.719；95%CI=1.422-22.994]，教育程度低[AOR=4.256；95%CI=1.139-15.895]，工作年限>5 年[AOR=3.892；95%CI=1.841-8.231]，不进行体育锻炼[AOR=2.866；95%CI=1.303-6.304]，压力[AOR=4.723；95%CI=2.421-9.213]，姿势不佳[AOR=2.692；95%CI=1.339-5.411]，休息时间不足[AOR=5.170；95%CI=2.070-12.912]，和人体工程学[AOR=3.801；95%CI=1.260-11.472]。
银行家患 WMSD 的患病率较高。导致与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病发生的显著相关因素包括工作经验较长、年龄超过 30 岁、教育程度低、体育锻炼、工作压力、不良姿势、工作时间无休息和缺乏人体工程学培训。
