Abstract

ObjectivesLower back pain is one of the most common complaints among the general population and among health professionals. Multiple workplace-related risk factors may contribute to back pain among physicians. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of lower back pain among medical residents of different medical specialties and to evaluate the relevant risk factors.MethodsA Dutch Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (DMQ) was completed by 125 medical residents. Part I concerned general demographic information, part II evaluated workplace-specific factors, and part III assessed the individual characteristics of lower back pain.ResultsThe overall prevalence of lower back pain among residents was 56.8%, with 45.1% of men and 76.5% of women reporting lower back pain. A total of 94.4% of affected individuals believed that their lower back pain was related to their current job, and 72.6% claimed that the onset of lower back pain occurred after beginning medical work. Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation between lower back pain and certain risk factors, such as working in the same position for long periods, repetitive movement (bending, twisting) of the lumbar region, working in uncomfortable postures, stress, walking, and standing for long periods. However, no significant relationship was found between lower back pain and heavy lifting, smoking, or prolonged sitting. The role of exercise as a protective factor in reducing the incidence of lower back pain was supported by the statistical analysis.ConclusionsThe prevalence of lower back pain among residents is high and is associated with a number of workplace-related risk factors.

Özet

Amaç Genel popülasyon ve sağlık çalışanları arasında bel ağrısı en yaygın şikayetlerden biridir. İş yerindeki çeşitli risk faktörleri doktorlar arasında görülen bel ağrısına sebep olabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı tıbbi uzmanlık alanlarında görevli asistan doktorlar arasında bel ağrısı şikâyet sıklığını ve ilgili risk faktörlerini değerlendirmekti. Gereç ve YöntemAlman Kas-İskelet Sistemi Rahatsızlık Anketi 125 asistan doktor tarafından dolduruldu. Anketin 1. bölümü genel demografik bilgiler ile ilgili olup 2. bölüm iş yerine özel risk faktörlerini, 3. bölüm ise bel ağrısının özel niteliklerini değerlendiriyordu. BulgularAsistan doktorlar arasında görülen bel ağrısının genel sıklık derecesi %56,8'ken bel ağrısından şikâyetçi olan kadınlar %76,5'lik ve erkekler %45,1'lik bir dilimi oluşturdu. Bel ağrısı şikâyeti olan bireylerin %94,4'ü, bel ağrılarının mevcut işleri dolayısıyla ortaya çıktığına inanırken %72,6'sı bel ağrısının sağlık sektöründe çalışmaya başladıktan sonra başladığını iddia etti. İstatiksel analiz, uzun süre aynı pozisyonda çalışmak, bel bölgesinin yinelenen hareketleri (eğilme, bükülme), rahatsızlık verici postür ile çalışmak, stres, yürümek ve uzun süre ayakta kalmak gibi çeşitli risk faktörleri ile bel ağrısı arasında bir bağlantı olduğunu ortaya koydu. Ancak, ağır kaldırmak, sigara içmek ve uzun süre oturmak ile bel ağrısı arasında önemli bir ilişki saptanmadı. Bel ağrısı şikâyetini azaltmak için uygulanan belirli egzersizlerin koruyucu özelliği bu istatiksel analizle de desteklenmiştir. Sonuç Asistan doktorlar arasında bel ağrısı şikâyeti yüksek olmakla birlikte iş yerine özel birçok risk faktörüyle de bağlantılıdır.
