Abstract: (55 Views)
Background: Musculoskeletal disorders are currently among the most common occupational injuries worldwide. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is higher in operating room personnel due to prolonged standing, static body posture, and the use of instruments to move tissue during surgery.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among the operating room staff of Jiroft University of Medical Sciences
Methods: The present study was a descriptive analytical type in which four personnel of the Jiroft University of Medical Sciences' operating room personnel were selected by a simple random method and entrance criteria were studied. Nordic and Korinca questionnaires and korinca were used to collect information to assess the risk of skeletal disorders. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and statistical tests including independent T test, I Whitney and Cai Square.
Results: According to the results of the study, the highest average level of exposure to the risk of musculoskeletal disorders in operating room personnel was in orthopedic field staff and women with 59.03% and 57.67%, respectively (p=0.0018). Also, the most musculoskeletal disorders that affected operating room personnel during their employment in the past 12 months were related to the neck (60%), one or both knees (50%), shoulders (48%), wrists (40%), elbows (36%), back and waist (32%), and thighs (20%) (p=0.0063).
Conclusion: Given the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among operating room personnel, especially orthopedic and gynecological surgery field personnel, occupational injuries resulting from these disorders can jeopardize the health and quality of performance of surgical team personnel. Therefore, it seems essential to train operating room personnel in up-to-date ergonomic techniques and posture during work. Also, including some exercise programs and corrective exercises, as well as physiotherapy consultation for members working in the operating room, can be effective and beneficial.
