目的:导致肌肉骨骼疾病的身体和心理风险因素都发生在专业护理小组中,和以前的文献表明,他们的相互作用可能会增加护士肌肉骨骼疼痛的风险。该研究的目的是检查护士的感知工作量和压力以及身体发现和肌肉骨骼投诉。
方法:参与者由42名女护士组成,年龄范围23-60岁。他们在疼痛上标记了在测试时疼痛的部位/部位,它的持续时间和强度。此后,使用来自全球物理治疗检查(GPE)的运动和呼吸域对它们进行检查。此外,使用国家航空航天局任务负荷指数的纸质版本进行主观工作量测量,并使用感知压力问卷评估压力。
结果:几乎整个研究组都宣称至少有1个部位的疼痛是慢性的,即,持续时间≥1年(97%)。最常见的疼痛部位是下背部(22.4%)和颈部/头部(21.6%)区域。在GPE中,大多数分数表明活动受限和减少,子域灵活性与预定义标准的偏差最大。此外,结果表明呼吸受阻,特别是在站立位置可见。在所有工作量分数中,最高的是时间需求。发现感知的压力水平是中等的,并且与慢性胸/胸痛显着相关。有趣的是,胸部压缩试验与精神需求(r=0.42,p<0.05)和身体需求(r=0.35,p<0.05)呈正相关,肘部跌落试验与时间需求呈负相关(r=-0.37,p<0.05)。
结论:总而言之,参与这项研究的大多数护士都有长期的疼痛,身体的灵活性有限,呼吸受阻,两者都可以增强经历过的肌肉骨骼疼痛的强度。IntJOccupMedEnvironHealth。2024;37(3)。
OBJECTIVE: Both physical and psychosocial risk factors contributing to musculoskeletal disorders occur in the professional nursing group, and previous literature suggested that their interaction may increase the risk of musculoskeletal pain among nurses. The aim of the
study was to examine perceived workload and stress as well as physical findings and musculoskeletal complaints in nurses.
METHODS: The participants consisted of 42 female nurses, age range 23-60 years. They marked on a pain drawing the site/sites that was/were painful at the moment of testing, its duration and intensity. Thereafter they were examined using the movement and respiration domains from the Global Physiotherapy Examination (GPE). Furthermore, a subjective workload measure was made using the paper version of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index and stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Questionnaire.
RESULTS: Almost the entire
study group declared that pain experienced in at least 1 location was chronic, i.e., had lasted ≥1 year (97%). The most frequent locations of pain were low back (22.4%) and cervical/head (21.6%) regions. In the GPE, most scores indicated restricted and reduced movement, with the subdomain
flexibility having the highest deviation from the predefined standard. Furthermore, the results indicated hampered respiration, especially visible in standing position. Out of all workload scores, the highest was obtained for temporal demand. Perceived stress level was found to be moderate and significantly associated to chronic chest/ thoracic pain. Interestingly, the compression of thorax test positively correlated with mental (r = 0.42, p < 0.05) and physical demand (r = 0.35, p < 0.05), whereas the elbow drop test and temporal demand correlated negatively (r = -0.37, p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: To sum up, the majority of nurses participating in this
study had long-lasting pain and limited
flexibility of the body and hampered respiration, which both may enhance intensity of experienced musculoskeletal pain. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2024;37(3).
