The consequences of technological innovations and current ways of work organization have prompted the appearance of various health conditions, namely repetitive strain disorders, work-related musculoskeletal disorders, and burn-out; these can emotionally and physically overload workers.
To evaluate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and occupational stress in professors of the Serra Talhada campus of Instituto Federal do Sertão Pernambucano.
Participants signed a free and informed consent form and answered to the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Subsequently, we applied the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey and evaluated the participants' postures during teaching by using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment tool (Ergolândia software).
We observed that 82% of the participants presented musculoskeletal symptoms, mainly in the lower back and lower limbs. Professors presented high scores for the burn-out syndrome, and posture evaluation indicated action levels of 3-4 (suggesting immediate intervention).
The implementation of an occupational physical therapist in this higher education institution is recommended in order to promote ergonomic adaptations and to elaborate a protocol for workplace physical activity, ultimately aiming to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and occupational stress.
技术创新和当前的工作组织方式导致了各种健康问题的出现，即重复性劳损、与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病和职业倦怠；这些问题会使员工在情感和身体上承受过重负担。
评估伯南布哥州塞尔拉塔尔阿达联邦学院校园内教授的肌肉骨骼疾病患病率和职业压力。
参与者签署了自由和知情同意书，并回答了北欧肌肉骨骼问卷。随后，我们应用了马氏职业倦怠量表-人类服务调查，并使用快速上肢评估工具（Ergolândia软件）评估了教学过程中参与者的姿势。
我们观察到82%的参与者出现了肌肉骨骼症状，主要集中在腰部和下肢。教授们的职业倦怠综合征得分较高，姿势评估表明行动水平为3-4级（建议立即干预）。
建议在这所高等教育机构中配备一名职业物理治疗师，以促进人体工程学适应并制定工作场所体育活动方案，最终目标是预防肌肉骨骼疾病和职业压力。
