Abstract

Purpose: Depending on the occupational loading, back pain is frequently encountered in teachers. The aim of this study is to examine the correlations of age, body mass index (BMI), working posture and working experience with back pain in teachers. Methods: A total of 88 teachers (44 male, 44 female) were included in this study. Mean age, mean height, mean body weight, mean BMİ and mean working years of teachers were (39.78 ± 9.14 years), (169.69 ± 8.77 cm), (73.83 ± 14.92 kg), (25.53 ± 4.28 kg/m2), (15.36 ± 9:54 years). Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS) was used to assess complaints of back pain, while the Ovako Working Posture Analysis System (OWAS) was used to assess working posture. The relation between back pain disability level and age, BMI, working posture and working years were investigated by Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: There was a positive low correlation between the working years and QBPDS (rho:0,281 p:0,008). There was a positive moderate correlation between age and QBP- DS (rho:0,350 p:0,001). While OWAS was positively low correlated with QBPDS (rho:0,285 p:0,007), there was no correlation between BMI and QBPDS (rho:0,036 p:0,741). According to the OWAS scoring, teacher’s working posture risk level were 58 % (n:51) category 1, 30.7 % (n:27) category 2, 10.2 % (n:9) category 3, 1.1 % (n:1) category 4. Discussion: According to our results; age, working years and working posture correlated with the back pain disability level in teachers. Therefore, training of the teachers about the back ergonomy and/or pain and especially in teachers with advanced age and working years revise the working hours and rest periods are recommended.

Özet

Amaç: Öğretmenlerde, mesleki yüklenmelerden dolayı bel ağrısı sıklıkla görülen bir durumdur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmenlerde yaş, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ), çalışma postürü ve çalışma yılının bel ağrısıyla olan ilişkisini incelemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 88 öğretmen (44 erkek, 44 bayan) dahil edildi. Öğretmenlerin ortalama yaşları 39,78 ± 9,14 yıl, ortalama boy uzunluğu 169,69 ± 8,77 cm, ortalama vücut ağırlığı 73,83 ± 14,92 kg, ortalama VKİ 25,53 ± 4,28 kg/m2 ve ortalama yıllık çalışma süreleri 15,36 ± 9,54 yıl idi. Öğretmenlerin bel ağrısı ile ilgili şikayetleri Quebec Bel Ağrısı Özürlülük Ölçeği (QBAÖÖ) ile değerlendirilirken, çalışma postürleri için Ovako Çalışma Postürü Analiz Sistemi (OÇPAS) kullanıldı. Bel ağrısı etkilenim derecesi ile yaş, VKİ, çalışma postürü ve çalışma yılı arasındaki ilişki Spearman korelasyon katsayısı kullanılarak incelendi. Sonuçlar: Çalışma yılı ile QBAÖÖ skoru arasında (rho:0,281 p:0,008) düşük derecede pozitif korelasyon bulundu. Yaş ile QBAÖÖ skoru arasında (rho:0,350 p:0,001) orta derecede pozitif korelasyon bulundu. OÇPAS ile QBAÖÖ (rho:0,28 p:0,007) skoru arasında düşük derecede pozitif korelasyon bulunurken, VKİ ile QBAÖÖ (rho:0,036 p:0,741) skoru arasında herhangi bir ilişki görülmedi. OÇPAS skorlama sonuçlarına göre öğretmenlerin çalışma postürü risk seviyesi; % 58’inde (n:51) kategori 1, % 30,7’sinde (n:27) kategori 2, % 10,2’sinde (n:9) kategori 3, % 1,1’inde (n:1) kategori 4 olarak bulundu. Tartışma: Bu sonuçlara göre yaş, çalışma yılı ve çalışma postürünün öğretmenlerde bel ağrısı özürlülük düzeyi ile ilişkili olduğu görüldü. Bu nedenle öğretmenlere de bel ağrısı ile ilgili ergonomik eğitim verilmesi, çalışma yılı ve yaşı ilerlemiş olan öğretmenlerde çalışma saatleri ve dinlenme periyotlarının düzenlenmesi önerilmektedir.
