“…There was also statistical significance considering daily working hours (p=0.026) and the work unit (p=0.003), which led us to think that the exposure to repetitive movements is more likely to have an impact on the daily working time than the actual job time (in years) 2,13 . Work activities that often require an inadequate posture for assistance, including administration of drugs, patient preparation and care with hygiene and comfort, among others 3,13 , are factors that cause a predisposition to the development of WMSD.…”

“…Pain has a negative impact on the quality of life and on the performance of some professional activities, having a direct effect on productivity, attention, and the quality of the service rendered 1,13 . Specifically, acute pain has the physiological function of warning and defending the body against lesions, infections, and other symptoms, and for this reason, pain plays an important role in the preservation of life 4 .…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Musculoskeletal disorder is characterized by changes in neuromuscular, tendinous and joint functions that impact the functionality of the affected areas, especially with pain. The intervention with reflexotherapy is a non-invasive alternative and allows instant control of acute occupational low back pain. The objective of this study was to describe the results of foot reflexology in the relief of acute low back pain related to the nursing staff job. METHODS: Double-blind controlled clinical trial. Thirty-six effective participants were randomly assigned to one experimental andone control group. Reflexotherapy was applied for low back pain in the sample groups in two sessions with a 72-hour interval. Data collection was performed with the visual analog scale to assess pain before and after the interventions, and a questionnaire for low back pain at the beginning and end of the study. The data were analyzed with the following tests: Shapiro Wilk, for sample normality; Chi-square or Fisher's Exact, for the associationbetween categorical variables and t-test. RESULTS: There was statistical significance with the foot reflexology in the relief of acute low back pain, with p=0.000 for the visual analog scale and the data of the questionnaire for low back pain p=0.0002. CONCLUSION: Reflexotherapy showed to be effective in reducing the intensity of acute pain among nursing professionals in this study. The Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials is RBR-5ndq22.

“…Most of the sample expressed burning pain in the hip region, suggesting possible dominance of the hip flexors on the abdominals. Confirming this hypothesis, one study reported that when there is abdominal weakness, the psoas muscle displays greater muscle activation, leading to hip instability [42]. Intense abdominals may help lumbopelvic stabilization and decrease the risk of pain, primarily in the lumbar region [43].…”

Introduction: The protective role of muscles in the passive structures of the spine means that their stability and consequent maintenance are associated with pain, especially in the region of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. Objective: To determine the prevalence of pain and its association with muscle deficits in higher education students. Method: Descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study that evaluated 120 university students through questionnaires (sample characterization, Nordic musculoskeletal symptoms, pain visual analogue scale and international physical activity). Trunk muscle strength and bridge tests with unilateral knee extension (pelvic alignment) were performed. Results: A high prevalence of pain was found in the lower back (58.41%). There was no association between the presence of pain, muscle strength and pelvic alignment (p> 0.05). There was an association between the trunk extension and pelvic tilt tests (p = 0.009). Conclusion: A high prevalence of low back pain, poor performance in the trunk muscle endurance tests and mild and moderate pelvic misalignment were identified. There was no association between pain, trunk muscle weakness and pelvic misalignment. There was an association between pelvic misalignment and trunk extensor muscle weakness.

“…The level of physical activity of nursing workers in a public hospital had a positive statistical association with a lower perception of low back pain, lower pain intensity and functional disability. 30 Considering the intense demand for work in a hospital environment, better physical conditions may contribute to minimizing the counterproductive effects of exposure to high physical demands on the workplace.…”

Objectives: to correlate the levels of job satisfaction (JS) and quality of life (QOL) of public maternity workers. Methods: quantitative and correlational cross-sectional study. Sample composed of 199 state public servants, of both genders, of different age groups and professions, working at the Women's Hospital Mother Luzia (WHML), in Macapá (AP). Three questionnaires were used: Sociodemographic, Job Satisfaction S20/23 and WHOQOL-Brief. Statistical analysis was performed by Pearson correlation and analysis of variance, with statistical significance at 5%. Results: most of the sample consisted of women (84.2%), aged between 30 and 39 years (40.7%), with a partner (64.3%), practicing physical activity (50.8%). With university education, (61.8%), income up to four minimum wages (53.3%), worked in two or more jobs (53.7%); and weekly workload of up to 30 hours (79.4%). They reported job dissatisfaction (75.4%). The average overall QOL was 65.62 (± 12.45). JS was associated with QOL (p<0.001) and number of jobs (p = 0.019). QOL was associated with male gender (p= 0.022), income (p= 0.004), ST (p <0.001), physical activity (p= 0.067) and workload (p= 0.011). The correlations between JS and QOL were all significant. Conclusions: the quality of life of WHML workers was directly and progressively associated with job satisfaction, which meant that higher levels of job satisfaction favored the quality of life.
