Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of mobile-application-based exercises on pain, quality of life, and work performance in office workers and to determine whether it was an alternative to traditional methods. Material and Methods: The 60 participants included in the study were randomized into 2 groups: Group 1 (mobile application group) and group2 (exercise brochure). The participants in group 1 exercised using the mobile application 5 days a week, and notifications were sent to the partic- ipants 4 times a day. The participants in group 2 exercised using the brochures 5 days a week. A demographic information form for work timingand painful areas, visual analog scale for evaluation of pain, Nottingham health profile for quality of life, and work role functionality survey for job performance were used. SPSS version 20.0 was used for data analysis. Results: After exercising, there were statistically significant changes in pain, quality of life, and work performance scores in both the groups (P < .05). Compared with Group 1, Group 2 was statistically superior in pain scores, emotional reactions, physical activity, sleep parameters of quality of life scale, and all scores of job performance survey (P < .05). Conclusion: In our study, the exercise program implemented by 2 different methods in office workers provided significant changes in pain, quality of life, and work performance and it was stated that the mobile application-supported exercise programs could be an alternative treatment for office workers.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, ofis çalışanlarında mobil uygulama tabanlı egzersizlerin ağrı, yaşam kalitesi ve iş performansına etkilerini araştırmak,uygulamanın bir egzersiz alışkanlığı oluşturma yönündeki etkisini ve geleneksel yöntemlere bir alternatif olup olamayacağını saptamaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 60 katılımcı, grup 1 (mobil uygulama grubu) ve grup 2 (egzersiz föy grubu) olarak randomize olarak ikigruba ayrıldı. Her iki gruptaki olgulara 1 ay boyunca uygulayacakları egzersizler her gün 5 tane olmak üzere föy ve mobil uygulama ile sunuldu.Föy grubundaki kişilerden günlük egzersizlerini günde 3 kez yapmaları istendi. Mobil uygulama grubuna ise günde 4 kez belirlediğimiz periyotlarhalinde bildirimler gönderildi. Olguların ağrılı bölgeleri, çalışma yılı, çalışma saati gibi parametreler için “Demografik Bilgiler Formu”, Ağrıyı değer-lendirmek için “Görsel Analog Skala (GAS)”, yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek için “Nottingham Sağlık Profili (NSP)”, iş performansı değerlendirmekiçin ise “Çalışma Rolü İşlevselliği Anketi” kullanıldı. İstatistiksel analiz için SPSS 20.0 versiyonu kullanıldı.Bulgular: Tedavi sonrası her iki grupta ağrı, yaşam kalitesi ve iş performansı skorlarında anlamlı değişim elde edildi (P < ,05). Grup 1’in ağrı, yaşamkalitesinin duygusal reaksiyonları, uyku, fiziksel aktivite, enerji, toplam skor, genel sağlık hali parametreleri ve iş performansının tüm parametrel-eri grup 2’ye göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı daha üstün bulundu (P < ,05).Sonuç: Çalışmamızda ofis çalışanlarında iki farklı yöntemle uygulanan egzersiz programı ağrı, yaşam kalitesi ve iş performansında anlamlı değişimsağlamıştır ve mobil uygulama destekli egzersiz programının ofis çalışanlarında alternatif bir tedavi olabileceği belirtilmiştir.
