“…This result is comparable with a previous study conducted in Jordan 78.9% [20]. The annual prevalence in this study was (85.5%); this result is in line with that of a study conducted in India 84% [16], in Riyadh 80% [10], in Jordan 78.9% [20], in Malaysia 74.8% [22], in Bahrain 73.5% [17], and in Bangladesh 72.9% [19]. However, the one-year prevalence was lower in Western Ethiopia 63.6% [8], in Sarawak 63.1% [21], and in Tunisia 58.1% [12].…”

“…According to recent studies, for example, LBP is often affected by sociodemographic characteristics, such as sex, age, body mass index (BMI), and experience [1,8,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Studies also show that conditions at the workplace, such as overtime duties, prolong working hours, working posture, and work shifts are significant predictors of LBP [9,10,[14][15][16]19,22,23]. Additionally, lifestyle factors, such as obesity, and lack of physical activity, and psychological issues, such as stress and job satisfaction, have a substantial effect on incidences of LBP [8,12,18,20].…”

Aim: To determine the prevalence of LBP and the associated risk factors among nurses at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH). Methods: A cross-sectional study design was adopted with a convenience sample of 234 nurses recruited from nine different departments at KAUH in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Participants completed the questionnaire, which had two parts: Part I: Socio-demographic data, medical factors, and work-related factors; and Part II: Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used to obtain data. Data collection was carried out from March to April 2020. Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 22. Results: Cumulative prevalence of LBP was 82.9%, annual prevalence was 85.5%, while one-week prevalence of LBP was 53.6%. The factor significantly associated with LBP over the past 12 months was manual lifting of patients (p = 0.030). Nurses working in surgical wards had higher prevalence of LBP. About 24.7% of them changed their working unit, hospitalization was necessary for 11.9%, and 39.8% sought medical care. Conclusions: The findings from this study may better enable policymakers to adopt certain strategies toward reducing the burdens and challenges of LBP among nurses.

“…A major part of these mental disorders is due to the stress that is caused by working conditions. 34 Occupational stress is a branch of stress created in the workplace and defined according to the physical and physiological effects of the profession on the individual. These effects can affect one's mental or physical activities.…”

Musculoskeletal disorder is one of the major health issues and is recognized as the second most common occupational disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the different aspects of musculoskeletal disorders in operating room personnel. The present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of MSDs among operating room personnel, in January 2020. In this study, the authors explored 30 articles from five databases including Medline/PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar. The present study found that physical, psychological, and demographic characteristics including age, gender, work experience, and smoking were the most important risk factors for these disorders. Musculoskeletal disorders were also prevalent in different areas of the body, with the highest prevalence being in the lumbar region. In addition, regular exercise and physical activity, the use of stretching and gentle exercise to reduce physical pressure, regard to the principles of ergonomics in the workplace, regular physical examinations, and awareness of the risk factors for these disorders. Therefore, operating room officials need to promote operating room programs focused on reducing musculoskeletal disorders and increase the awareness of the personnel about the risk factors by conducting training courses.

Background To evaluate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) in perioperative nurses and to explore their association with personal characteristics. Methods Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Joanna Briggs Institute Database were systematically searched. A meta-analysis calculating event rates, and relative 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) was performed for each musculoskeletal district. The contribution of perioperative nurses’ gender, age, and BMI was assessed trough a meta-regression. Results Twenty-two studies, considering 3405 perioperative nurses, were included in the systematic review. The highest prevalence of WRMSDs was found for the lower-back (61%; 95% CI 0.52–0.70), followed by shoulder (45%; 95% CI 0.38–0.53), waist (45%; 95% CI 0.34–0.57), knee (45%; 95% CI 0.32–0.54), neck (39%; 95% CI 0.27–0.52), upper-back (34%; 95% CI 0.24–0.46), ankle-feet (33%; 95% CI 0.18–0.51), hand-wrist (29%; 95% CI 0.19–0.41), and elbow (18%; 95% CI 0.11–0.27). Meta-regression showed that gender, age, and BMI were not significant predictors of low-back disorders (p = 0.69; R2 = 0). Conclusions WRMSDs represent a high prevalence issue among perioperative nurses. Perioperative nurses, in general, are steadily exposed to both physical and temporal risk factors. Several interventions may be adopted to reduce the burden of WRMSDs, including ergonomic education and physical rehabilitation. Our data could be used in future studies as a reference to assess the risk of WRMSDs in other health-care professionals’ population.
