This cross-sectional study identified factors associated to musculoskeletal disorders in nursing auxiliaries and technicians in Salvador -Bahia. Three hundred and eight randomly selected female workers answered a questionnaire administered by an interviewer, with questions related to physical and psychosocial demands at work, individual characteristics and activities outside work. Multivariate analysis revealed that musculoskeletal disorders in neck, shoulder or upper back and musculoskeletal disorders in low back are associated to physical demand (material handling, poor back posture and work repetitiveness), psychosocial demand and precarious physical fitness. Musculoskeletal disorders in distal upper extremities are associated to physical demands (repetitiveness and force) and years of work (> 19 Factores asociados a los disturbios músculo-esqueléticos en trabajadoras de enfermeríaEste estudio de corte transversal identificó factores asociados a los disturbios músculo-esqueléticos en auxiliares y técnicas de enfermería en Salvador-BA. Trescientas y ocho trabajadoras, seleccionadas aleatoriamente, respondieron un cuestionario aplicado por un entrevistador, con preguntas sobre demandas físicas y psicosociales en el trabajo, características individuales y actividades extra-laborales. El análisis multivariado reveló disturbios músculo-esqueléticos en pescuezo, hombro o parte alta del dorso y disturbios músculo-esqueléticos en la región lumbar, que se asocian a la demanda física (manoseo de carga, postura inadecuada del tronco y gestos repetitivos), demanda psicosocial y acondicionamiento físico precario. Los disturbios músculo-esqueléticos en extremidades superiores distales se asocian con la demanda física (repetitividad y fuerza) y años de trabajo (> 19). Los resultados apuntan para la necesidad de presentar estrategias de intervención que incorporen tanto los aspectos organizacionales del trabajo así como las adecuaciones en el ambiente físico y en las características de las tareas.

Background: Lower Back Pain (LBP) is a common complaint among nurses in different clinical sittings. There is a large amount of evidence suggesting an association between LBP and various factors. This complaint has serious implications for professional and occupational carriers as well as whole health care systems as nurses form the mainstay of manpower in health care. Methods: this systematic review is based on a comprehensive search conducted in PubMed, CINHAL, PsycINFO. The two reviewers independently accomplished the full text review for the selected literatures. Results: A total of 11 studies were to the standards of the inclusion criteria. Different methods of studies were applied to measure and evaluate lower back pain among nurses and factors associated with lower back pain. Discussion: Initially, all results/studies were analyzed systemically in grids, and then the results of each study were discussed and interpreted according to the variables, method, and study design.
