4 Araştırmalar / Researches ÖZET:Hastane çalışanlarında işe bağlı kas iskelet sistemi hastalıkları: Üst ekstremite problemleri Amaç: İşe bağlı kas iskelet sistemi hastalıkları toplumda sık görülen sağlık problemlerinden biridir. Hastanemizde çalışan yardımcı personelin sağlığını korumak, iş memnuniyetini artırmak ve iş kaybı-na neden olabilecek durumları önleyebilmek için işe bağlı üst ekstremite problemlerinin sıklığı ve bu problemleri oluşturabilecek etmenleri belirlemeyi amaçladık. Work-related musculoskeletal diseases in hospital workers: Upper extremity problems Objective: The work-related musculoskeletal disorders are one of the most common health problems in the community. The aim of the our study was to determine the incidence of work-related upper extremity problems and to asses the risk factors in order to protect the health of our hospital employees, to improve job satisfaction and to avoid situations that could lead to job. Material and Method: A total of 125 hospital employees were included in our study. The personal characteristics of the participants, information about the work and the working environment were questioned by a questionnaire that was collected from the literature. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used to identify areas of pain. Results: 125 cases participated in the study, 74 (59.2%) were female and 51 (40.8%) were male. The mean age of patients was 31.56±7:09 years. 53 participants (50.5%) were cleaning staff, 25 participants (23.8%) were secretary, 16 participants (15.2%) were technician and 11 participants (10.6%) were nurse. 61 employees (58.1%) had upper limb pain during business. When logistic analysis was performed we found that male gender is a risk factor for wrist pain; high BMI is a risk factor for back, elbow and wrist; less time spent at home is a risk factor for back and wrist pain. Conclusion:To determine the work-related upper extremity problems and risk factors in hospital employees is important to improve work efficiency and protect the health of employees.

“…For example, studies have shown that men have a greater ratio of type II (fast) to type I (fatigue-resistant) muscle fibres (Mannion et al, 1997(Mannion et al, , 1998Staron et al, 2000), possibly explaining male-female differences in fatigability (Clark et al, 2003). Generally, we stress the importance of considering that gender, sex, social class, age and ethno-cultural group membership interact in various ways with WMSDs determinants (Habib and Messing, 2012;Lederer, Rivard and Mechakra-Tahiri, 2012;Premji et al, 2010;Seifert et al, 2007). Therefore, it is important that these be specifically considered in relation to causal pathways, rather than simply treating gender, age, ethnicity and class as confounders in multivariate analyses (Messing, Stock and Tissot, 2009).…”

This paper aimed to demonstrate the contribution of the research performed by the musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) Research Axis group of the Quebec Occupational Health and Safety Research Network towards better understanding of work-related MSD (WMSD) development and prevention. Although the group targets its work to the Quebec population, its work has significant impact around the world, placing MSD axis members and knowledge and expertise created in Quebec on the international map. Results from the contribution of members are relevant, primarily in the demonstration of the implication of physical workload as well as organizational and psychosocial work-related factors in the development of WMSDs. Also, members have demonstrated that gender, sex, social class, age and ethno-cultural groups interact in various ways with WMSD determinants. Efforts are devoted towards improving understanding of the physiological responses linked with MSDs, which could also lead to new workplace practices in rehabilitation. The group emphasizes the integration of prevention procedures from the design stage to the workplace intervention. Members have proposed research-based tools for best practices at work and also an original conceptual model as a key, novel element of a theoretical conceptualization of WMSDs. Moreover, the group focuses on improving WMSD surveillance, using multiple sources of information, providing information on newly identified health risks and developing new methods of assessing risk in order to effectively prevent disability in the working population. Finally, results from research of the MSD axis group have implications for orienting legal processes, improving legal recognition of MSDs as occupational diseases, and contributing to the evolution of legal thinking. However, much remains to be done. To that end, the group plans and encourages new initiatives for further advancement. In conclusion, the originality of the work places the group in a favourable position to address the complexity underlying WMSDs, combining expertise that enriches fundamental, clinical and population-based research.

“…As mentioned earlier, another key trend in contemporary research appears to be the investigation of societal context, and concomitantly, of multiple stakeholders' interests in the production and interpretation of results. Recently, some authors have highlighted the importance of using gender-sensitive strategies to investigate RTW from a gender perspective [53,276,277] or in vulnerable worker populations [139,153,188,189,203]. Barriers to effective use of evidence by various practitioners (e.g.…”

Successful intervention for preventing prolonged work disability in workers compensated for WRMSDs address workplace issues: physical and psychosocial demands at work, ability of the workers to fill these demands, work organization and support of the worker, and worker' beliefs and attitudes related to work. Successful intervention promotes collaboration, coordination between all actors and stakeholders involved in the process of rehabilitation. Strategies able to mobilize the employees, employers, insurers and health care providers are still needed to be implemented.
