“…Regarding the predictors of WRMSDs, aging was associated with increased reporting of WRMSDs (OR = 8.86) which is consistent with earlier research 13,20,23 . This might be because people lose their capacity to exert stress on their muscles without causing injuries as they age.…”

Background and AimsHealthcare workers in particular frequently report Work‐related musculoskeletal diseases (WRMSDs). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and features of WRMSDs in residents from different specialties and trainee nurses from educational hospitals in Damascus, Syria.MethodsA cross‐sectional survey was undertaken aiming at the medical residents and the trainee nurses working in the public health sector in 11 hospitals. The sample size was found to be 2016. In this study, a modified version of the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was employed.ResultsAfter the inclusion and exclusion criteria was the number of the participants 1855. In general, musculoskeletal pain was in the past week (69%) and the past 12 months (85%). Musculoskeletal pain in medical care practitioners was found to be linked to higher mean age (p = 0.0053) and body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.0437) in the last year. Females had a higher prevalence of WRMSDs than males (p = 0.0036), and those who were married also had a higher prevalence (p = 0.0218). Working longer hours per week and per month were associated with musculoskeletal pain in the previous 7 days (p = 0.0043 and p = 0.0003, respectively).ConclusionWRMSD prevalence was 85% among our study participants in the previous year. The most common complaint was lower back pain. Aging, female gender, and increasing BMI have been associated with higher reporting of WRMSDs. Our results suggested that doctors were twice as susceptible to developing WRMSDs as nurses. These results highlight the increasing urgency for ergonomics training programs and effective interventions to reduce WRMSDs and enhance working conditions for healthcare professionals in Syria.

“…Em adição, predicados pessoais também elevam a incidência de LER, sendo as mulheres profissionais de saúde mais propensas ao desenvolvimento de distúrbios osteomusculares no ambiente de trabalho, o que pode ser explicado fisiologicamente pela diminuição de força da parte superior do tronco, em comparação aos homens, e pela deficitária ergonomia com instrumentos cirúrgicos projetados com padrões de tamanho maiores. Outro fator importante foi a prevalência de Brazilian Journal of Development, Curitiba, v.9, n.4, p. 14132-14144, apr.., 2023 LER em cirurgiões mais jovens, em profissionais com IMC elevado e sedentários (GRANT; VO;TIONG, 2019;OWADA et al, 2022;AKBIYIK et al, 2021).…”

“…Os profissionais da saúde, como médicos, enfermeiros, fisioterapeutas, entre outros, estão frequentemente expostos a tarefas que exigem esforço físico repetitivo, posturas inadequadas, levantamento de peso, entre outras atividades que podem levar ao desenvolvimento de DORT. Além disso, o trabalho nessa área envolve um ambiente de alta demanda emocional, o que pode levar ao estresse crônico, outro fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de DORT (GRANT; VO;TIONG, 2019;MCQUIVEY et al, 2021;OWADA et al, 2022).…”

A Lesão por Esforço Repetitivo (LER) é um problema de saúde que tem se tornado cada vez mais comum em todo o mundo, afetando principalmente trabalhadores que realizam atividades manuais ou que envolvem movimentos repetitivos. Dentre as diversas patologias que fazem parte desse conjunto de doenças, destaca-se a Doença Osteomuscular Relacionada ao Trabalho (DORT), que é caracterizada por dores, desconforto e/ou sensação de formigamento em músculos, tendões e nervos. Nesse contexto, é cabível destacar a crescente prevalência da LER/DORT, entre os profissionais de saúde, principalmente das áreas de cirurgia e enfermagem, em decorrência das longas horas de trabalho e falta de medidas que visam melhorar a ergonomia nos locais de serviço. A maior prevalência de quadros álgicos no grupo estudado se deu nas costas, principalmente nas regiões lombar, do ombro e cervical, e foi possível notar uma correlação positiva entre a frequência e a intensidade da dor e a presença de sintomas psicossomáticos de esgotamento. Cabe ainda ressaltar que as principais medidas que podem impactar positivamente na longevidade e na produtividade dos profissionais de saúde passam pela implementação de parâmetros que visam melhorar a ergonomia nos serviços de saúde, evitar a adoção de posições operatórias viciosas e da conscientização sobre o tema.

“…Even so, little is understood regarding how effective stretching regimens are at preventing MSDs. Stretching exercises have the potential to decrease muscular stiffness and promote flexibility (Owada et al, 2022). It has been documented in literature that workplace stretching exercises can reduce and prevent work-related MSDs resulting from awkward postures and static loading (Schaller and Froboese, 2014).…”

Objective: This study aims to compile the latest information concerning workplace stretching regimens and to give a panoramic view of their effectiveness in reducing work-related Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Methods: Searching MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PEDro, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, SPORTDiscus and PubMed databases from 2010 to 2022 found 723 eligible studies, based on predefined inclusion criteria. Results: In the review, 14 included studies recruited subjects aged 18 years, with males (n=813), females (n=5141), and some research did not identify gender (n=3). The included studies were of both high (n=6) and low quality (n=8). Seven studies revealed stretching exercises to be an effective and safe non-pharmacological intervention for MSDs, and one study included an active control group observed better improvement in the treatment group. Four trials showed a significant effect from stretching exercises as a stand-alone treatment. Three studies revealed that stretching exercises had a meaningful and major effect on MSDs complaints, while two studies reported no significant results when utilizing Anti-fatigue mats in addition to stretching. Conclusion: The current study indicated that stretching exercises are a crucial and useful technique for preventing and treating pain and function in Work-related MSDs affecting the neck, shoulder, back, etc. Workplace/ergonomic changes can enhance the results of stretching exercises.
