Teachers have the highest musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) rates worldwide because of stressful working conditions. MSD is likely to be linked to psychosocial elements such as need for social help, loss of job control, performance concerns, repetitive work, and feeling burdened and stressed.
To determine the prevalence and anatomical distribution of MSDs and the associated psychosocial risk factors, primarily depression, among female teachers in the Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia.
An observational, quantitative, cross-sectional study was done.
Data was collected from female teachers in Riyadh region, Saudi Arabia, via a questionnaire. All the participants completed the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ). The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software.
Of the 372 questionnaire responses obtained from the teachers, the prevalence of depression was 65.6% and of MSD was 86%. The main site of pain was the neck (62.9%), followed by the lower back (53.8%). There was a significant relationship between the prevalence of MSD and the prevalence of depression. MSD occurred in 64.1% of participants without depression, in 95.9% of those with mild depression, and in 100% of those with more severe depression ( ≤ 0.001).
A high prevalence of MSD pain was found among the female teachers, especially among older women, those teaching at elementary schools, and those with a higher number of pregnancies. The coexistence of MSD and depression affects the work ability of the teachers and reduces their efficiency.
由于工作条件压力大，教师在全球范围内患肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）的比例最高。MSD可能与社会心理因素有关，如对社会帮助的需求、工作控制权的丧失、对工作表现的担忧、重复性工作以及感到负担和压力。
确定沙特阿拉伯利雅得地区女教师中MSD的患病率、解剖分布以及相关的社会心理风险因素，主要是抑郁症。
进行了一项观察性、定量、横断面研究。
通过问卷调查从沙特阿拉伯利雅得地区的女教师中收集数据。所有参与者都完成了患者健康问卷（PHQ-9）和北欧肌肉骨骼问卷（NMQ）。使用社会科学统计软件对数据进行分析。
从教师那里获得的372份问卷回复中，抑郁症患病率为65.6%，MSD患病率为86%。疼痛的主要部位是颈部（62.9%），其次是下背部（53.8%）。MSD患病率与抑郁症患病率之间存在显著关系。在无抑郁症的参与者中，MSD发生率为64.1%，轻度抑郁症患者中为95.9%，重度抑郁症患者（≤0.001）中为100%。
在女教师中发现MSD疼痛的患病率很高，尤其是在老年女性、小学教师和怀孕次数较多的女性中。MSD和抑郁症的共存影响了教师的工作能力并降低了他们的效率。
