“…Assessment data were recorded on each instrument and then included in the database. Data entry in Microsoft Excel 2010 was performed by two independent researchers (double data entry) to avoid typing errors and ensure greater reliability of the findings of this study (Lemos et al, 2021; Monteiro et al, 2020; Santos, Raposo, & Melo, 2021). After that, the data were transferred to the Software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20.0, where all analyses were performed, adopting a statistical significance level of 5%.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to observe the prevalence and intensity of musculoskeletal pain and the quality of life in mothers of children with microcephaly and also to compare the scores of the quality of life domains between mothers who had or did not have musculoskeletal pain. Methods This is a cross‐sectional study that evaluated mothers of children with a clinical diagnosis of microcephaly, due to congenital Zika virus syndrome, in the state of Pernambuco, northeast region, Brazil. To assess musculoskeletal pain, the Nordic Questionnaire of Musculoskeletal Symptoms was used, pain intensity was assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale and quality of life by the SF‐36 Questionnaire. Results Of the 63 mothers evaluated, 59 (93.7%) reported currently experiencing musculoskeletal pain. The lumbar spine was the body region with the highest prevalence of pain (77.8%), followed by the thoracic spine (57.1%) and cervical spine (50.8%). Pain intensity was higher in the lumbar spine (6.00 ± 0.47), thoracic spine (4.44 ± 0.52) and shoulders (3.81 ± 0.51). The domains that presented the lowest scores in the quality of life assessment were general health status (49.0 ± 3.19), emotional aspects (49.7 ± 5.88) and pain (49.7 ± 2.50). Mothers who had musculoskeletal pain had lower scores in all domains of quality of life assessment compared to mothers who did not have pain, demonstrating significant differences for functional capacity (P = 0.035), physical aspects (P = 0.047) and pain (P = 0.002). Conclusion A high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was observed in mothers of children with microcephaly, with a higher prevalence and intensity in the lumbar spine. The domains related to physical and emotional health presented the worst scores in the quality of life of the evaluated mothers and the presence of musculoskeletal pain reduced the quality of life of the mothers of children with microcephaly in this study.

Introduction Remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic caused teachers to work under adverse conditions and sit in front of a computer rather than stand, which can lead to musculoskeletal pain and stress in this population. Objective To observe the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and its correlation with stress levels in teachers during the remote teaching period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A cross-sectional study carried out in elementary and high schools in the city of São José do Belmonte, Pernambuco state (PE). Sixty teachers of both sexes aged 18 years and older were evaluated. The Nordic Questionnaire of Musculoskeletal Symptoms (NQMS) was used to assess musculoskeletal pain, the Visual Analogue Scale to quantify pain intensity and the Maslach Burnout Inventory to identify symptoms of stress and burnout. Results Seventy five percent (n = 45) of the teachers reported musculoskeletal pain, with a higher prevalence in the lumbar spine 68.3% (n = 41), followed by the cervical spine 45.0% (n = 27),thoracic spine, wrists and hands, both with 41.7% (n = 25). A positive correlation was observed between the presence of musculoskeletal pain and high levels of occupational stress (p = 0.036). Conclusion A high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was identified in teachers during the remote teaching period. The lumbar, cervical and thoracic spine, wrists and hands exhibited the highest pain prevalence. Teachers who experienced musculoskeletal pain had higher stress levels and there was a positive correlation between musculoskeletal pain intensity and high occupational stress levels.

Resumo Introdução O ensino remoto, ocorrido durante a pan-demia de COVID-19, levou os professores a trabalharem em condições adversas e modificou a postura em que eles ensinavam, passando da posição ortostática para a sentada diante de um computador, o que pode favorecer a presença de dores musculoesqueléticas e estresse. Objetivo Observar a prevalência de dor musculoesquelética e sua correlação com níveis de estresse em professores durante o ensino remoto na pandemia de COVID-19. Métodos Estudo de corte transversal realizado em escolas do ensino fundamental e médio do município de São José do Belmonte, em Pernambuco. Foram avaliados 60 professores, de ambos os sexos e faixa etária acima dos 18 anos. Para avaliar a presença de dores musculoesqueléticas, utilizou-se o N ordic Questionnaire of Musculoskeletal Symptoms ; para quantificar a intensidade das dores, a Escala Visual Analógica; e para identificar sintomas de estresse e esgotamento profissional, o Maslach Burnout Inventory . Resultados Setenta e cinco por cento (n = 45) dos professores avaliados apresentavam dores musculo-esqueléticas, com maior prevalência na coluna lombar (68,3%, n = 41), seguida pela coluna cervical (45,0%,n = 27), coluna torácica, punhos e mãos, ambos com (41,7%, n = 25). Observou-se também uma correlação positiva entre a presença de dor musculoesquelética e níveis elevados de estresse ocupacional nos professores avaliados (p = 0,036). Conclusão Observou-se uma elevada prevalência de dor musculoesquelética nos professores durante o período de ensino remoto. A coluna lombar, cervical, torácica, punhos e mãos foram as regiões com maior prevalência das dores. Os professores que apresentavam dor musculoesquelética relataram maiores níveis de estresse e houve uma correlação positiva entre a intensidade da dor musculoesquelética e níveis elevados de estresse ocupacional.
