“…In fact, the impacts of age and occupational context have been highlighted in recent years, with evidence pointing that the capacity for work and health deteriorate with increasing age 31 . Back pain is one of the most disabling conditions found in this type of environment, may lead to disabilities and, consequently, affect physical performance 32 . Traditionally, the approaches used to prevent musculoskeletal dysfunction in the health sector have largely focused on minimizing physical risks, such as lifting or transferring of patients 4 .…”

RESUMO O objetivo foi caracterizar o ambiente de trabalho por meio da Norma Regulamentadora 17 do Ministério do Trabalho (NR-17); avaliar a fadiga residual e estimar o risco da sua exposição e a presença de desconforto musculoesquelético de profissionais da saúde que atuam em um hospital público. Trata-se de estudo transversal composto por duas etapas: (1) observação do ambiente de trabalho por meio da NR-17, adaptada em checklist; e (2) avaliação do desconforto e fadiga por meio de questionários. Os dados foram analisados descritivamente. A associação entre fadiga e desconforto foi verificada pelo qui-quadrado e o teste de Mann-Whitney comparou a idade, tempo de instituição e carga horária (horas/semana) entre os grupos estratificados (com fadiga/sem fadiga e com desconforto/sem desconforto). Foram avaliados 20 setores, dos quais a Farmácia teve a maior frequência de inadequação (83%) e a UTI Adulto mostrou-se o mais adequado (24% de itens inadequados). Verificou-se uma alta prevalência de desconforto, principalmente na coluna. A fadiga estava presente em mais de 70% dos profissionais. Indivíduos com maior idade apresentaram mais queixas de desconforto. O presente estudo demonstrou uma alta frequência de inadequações ergonômicas em ambiente de trabalho hospitalar, principalmente no setor da Farmácia e Ambulatório. A alta prevalência de desconforto na coluna e a fadiga demonstram a relevância de ações preventivas no ambiente hospitalar.

Results: Out of 300 participants, maximum age respondents were 185 (61.7%) range from 25-33 years and minimum age were 26 (8.7%) ranged in 43-50 years. Male enrolled responses were 273 (91.0%) while females were 27 (9.0%). The prevalence of low back pain was 72.3 % among computer operators working in the banks of Peshawar. Based of NPRS, 27.7% computer operator reported no pain while the maximum number of participants i, e., 39.3% (n=118) suffered from mild pain. The maximum participants have minimal disability and reported as 52% (n= 156) while the minimum participants, only 10% (n=30) have sever disability.
