Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) pose a pervasive concern among nursing professionals due to the high physical workload. Simultaneously, the complex relationship between MSDs and mental health outcomes in this population remains an area of significant interest and importance.
This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of MSDs and their relationships with burnout and psychological suffering within the nursing workforce.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020 involving 291 nursing professionals in Brazil. Standardized questionnaires were employed to gather information on MSDs, mental health outcomes, and pertinent work-related factors. Robust statistical analyses were conducted to ascertain the prevalence of MSDs, establish associations between MSDs and mental health outcomes, and delineate the influence of work-related factors on these associations. Statistical analysis was performed using the R software.
The study revealed a significant prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) among nursing workers, focusing on regions that include the lower back, upper back, neck, and shoulders. Individuals with MSIs in the lower back showed a marked increase in emotional exhaustion ( = 0.02), as did those with MSIs in the upper back ( <0.01) and depersonalization ( = 0.07). On the other hand, nursing professionals who reported MSIs in the neck and shoulders had considerably higher scores in emotional exhaustion ( <0.01 and = 0.01, respectively) and depersonalization ( = 0.05 and = 0.05, respectively). However, no significant correlations emerged between MSIs and depression or work-related factors.
This study highlights the urgency of implementing proactive measures to prevent and manage MSDs within the nursing profession. Moreover, it emphasizes the critical need to enhance working conditions and provide robust support mechanisms to safeguard the mental health of nursing professionals.Open AccessOpen Access.
由于体力工作负荷大,肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD)在护理专业人员中引起了广泛关注。同时,该人群中MSD与心理健康结果之间的复杂关系仍是一个备受关注且至关重要的领域。
本研究旨在调查护理人员中MSD的发生情况及其与职业倦怠和心理痛苦的关系。
2020年在巴西对291名护理专业人员进行了一项横断面研究。采用标准化问卷收集有关MSD、心理健康结果和相关工作因素的信息。进行了稳健的统计分析,以确定MSD的患病率,建立MSD与心理健康结果之间的关联,并描述工作相关因素对这些关联的影响。使用R软件进行统计分析。
研究显示,护理人员中肌肉骨骼损伤(MSI)的患病率较高,主要集中在腰背部、上背部、颈部和肩部。下背部患有MSI的个体情绪耗竭显著增加(P = 0.02),上背部患有MSI的个体也是如此(P <0.01),去个性化程度也增加(P = 0.07)。另一方面,报告颈部和肩部患有MSI的护理专业人员在情绪耗竭方面得分显著更高(分别为P <0.01和P = 0.01),去个性化程度也更高(分别为P = 0.05和P = 0.05)。然而,MSI与抑郁或工作相关因素之间未发现显著相关性。
本研究强调了在护理行业中实施积极措施预防和管理MSD的紧迫性。此外,它强调了迫切需要改善工作条件并提供强大的支持机制,以保障护理专业人员的心理健康。开放获取。
