“…However, there is lack of studies evaluating auriculotherapy as an intervention to reduce MSP and improve quality of life in health workers. This was observed in an integrative review developed in 2019 (12) and updated in 2022. Of the 20 productions included in the evidence synthesis, an international study associated the reduction of chronic low back pain with the participants' quality of life.…”

“…The Numerical Pain Scale ( 19 ) and the Brief Pain Inventory ( 20 ) were used to assess the pain intensity and interference to assess MSP, based on the application of auriculotherapy (second phase of the study). These instruments are used in research studies evaluating MSP ( 2 , 8 , 12 ) and in clinical research ( 3 , 21 - 22 ) . For physical disability, the Brazilian version of the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire ( 23 ) and the quality of life by the SF-36 ( 24 ) were employed.…”

“…Participants in our study could be stressed as they were unable to go to the labs/clinics/hospitals to practice their hands-on techniques on others and clients. Exposure to stress may trigger biological, emotional and behavioral changes [ 37 ]. Among the biological changes, physical symptoms, such as musculoskeletal pain resulting from static postures for prolonged duration and repetitive movements, was demonstrated in students [ 37 ].…”

“…Exposure to stress may trigger biological, emotional and behavioral changes [ 37 ]. Among the biological changes, physical symptoms, such as musculoskeletal pain resulting from static postures for prolonged duration and repetitive movements, was demonstrated in students [ 37 ]. Addtionally, the extra workload experienced by undergraduates may have led to anxiety, overthinking and forgetfulness.…”

“…Morais et al, (2021) pontua que o estresse está diretamente relacionado a dor, uma vez que aumenta o tônus muscular, que gera uma maior tensão em músculos e articulações, além de liberar hormônios como adrenocorticotrófico e cortisol, que aumentam a sensação dolorosa e provocam tensão muscular, que por sua vez reduz o fluxo sanguíneo para os tecidos, acumulando ácidos e consequentemente gera fadiga e dor muscular.De acordo comVitta et al (2021) um dos fatores de risco para dor lombar é permanecer sentado por longas horas, portanto, é importante que os professores façam pausas para que os alunos possam se movimentar, que além de reduzir as chances de se ter dor lombar, também melhorar a concentração durante as atividades (RUHLAND; LANGE, 2021). Uma vez que os escolares permanecem sentados por longos períodos, programas de educação em saúde deveriam ser implementados para que os alunos melhorem o autocuidado com a postura e assim evitem problemas laborais e de qualidade de vida na fase adulta.…”
