Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine personal, occupational, and psychosocial risk factors affecting prevalence of low back pain in healthcare workers.Methods: Study included total of 1682 participants (1010 female, 672 male) working at Denizli State Hospital. Low back pain section of Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (SNMA) was used to evaluate recent occurrence, pain experienced within previous year, and over lifetime. Perceived Stress Scale and Job Satisfaction Scale were also administered.Results: Prevalence of lifetime low back pain in healthcare workers was determined to be 53% based on SNMA. It was observed that low back pain was most common among medical secretaries (56.9%). Advanced age, female gender, high body mass index (p=0.002), being married (p=0.0001), lack of regular exercise (p=0.009), working for more than 4 hours while standing (p=0.012) or sitting at desk (p=0.021), using computer for more than 4 hours (p=0.0001), greater number of years of service (p=0.001), and low job satisfaction (p=0.001) were found to be factors increasing low back pain risk.Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that healthcare workers are among group with high risk of low back pain

Özet

Amaç: Sağlık çalışanlarında bel ağrısı prevalansını, etkileyen kişisel, işle ilişkili ve psikososyal risk faktörlerini incelemektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza Denizli Devlet Hastanesi'nde görev yapan, çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 1010 kadın ve 672 erkek toplam 1682 katılımcı dâhil edildi. Nokta ve yıllık prevalansın değerlendirilmesinde Standardize Nordik Muskuloskeletal Anketinin (SNMA) genel bölümünde yer alan bel ağrısı ile ilgili kısım kullanıldı. Psikososyal faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi kapsamında, katılımcıların stres düzeyi 'Algılanan Stres Ölçeği', iş memnuniyeti 'İş Doyum Ölçeği' kullanılarak gerekli veriler elde edildi.Bulgular: Sağlık çalışanlarında yaşam boyu bel ağrısı prevalansı %53 olarak saptandı. En fazla bel ağrısının tıbbi sekreterlerde (%56,9) olduğu tespit edildi. İleri yaş, kadın cinsiyet, Vücut Kitle İndeksinin (VKİ) yüksek olması (p=0,002), evli olmak ve egzersiz alışkanlığının olmaması (p=0,009), ayakta durarak (p=0,012) ve oturarak 4 saatten fazla çalışma (p=0,021), 4 saatten fazla bilgisayar kullanma (p=0,001), artmış hizmet yılı (p=0,001) ve iş memnuniyetinin az olması (p=0,001) bel ağrısı riskini artıran faktörler olarak saptandı.Sonuç: Çalışmamız sağlık çalışanlarının bel ağrısı açısından yüksek risk grubunda olduğunu göstermiştir
