Musculoskeletal disorders and low back pain have negative impact amongst Italian nurses who work in hospital. Nursing staff are known to be at risk of developing back disorders, where low back pain has a prevalence from 16% to 60% in the world. This study aims to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and low back pain among nurses who working in a Roman hospital.
Cross sectional study was carried out in an Italian hospital and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire-IRSST was administered to 256 registered nurses. Logistic regression analyses were performed to understand risk factors associated with pain.
Nurses reported different locations of pain related to musculoskeletal disorders. The prevalence of low back pain was 90.2% during life, 80% during the last year and 44.5% during the last week. Female sex increases the risk of being affected by low back pain (OR = 2.07, 95% CI= 1.00-4.32).
Musculoskeletal disorders and low back pain are reported by the majority of nurses interviewed, and a higher prevalence is observed in women. Pain does not depend on the amount of years of work, nor on age or body mass index. In order to assess the prevalence of low back pain carefully, it is recommended to study a greater number of Italian nurses in different hospitals.
肌肉骨骼疾病和下背痛对在意大利医院工作的护士有负面影响。众所周知,护理人员有患背部疾病的风险,全世界范围内,背痛的患病率为 16%至 60%。本研究旨在确定在罗马一家医院工作的护士中肌肉骨骼疾病和下背痛的患病率。
在一家意大利医院进行了横断面研究,并对 256 名注册护士进行了北欧肌肉骨骼问卷-IRSST 调查。进行逻辑回归分析以了解与疼痛相关的危险因素。
护士报告了与肌肉骨骼疾病相关的不同部位疼痛。一生中背痛的患病率为 90.2%,去年为 80%,上周为 44.5%。女性会增加患背痛的风险(OR=2.07,95%CI=1.00-4.32)。
大多数接受采访的护士都报告了肌肉骨骼疾病和下背痛,并且在女性中观察到更高的患病率。疼痛与工作年限、年龄或体重指数无关。为了更仔细地评估背痛的患病率,建议在不同的医院研究更多的意大利护士。
