“…In a study on computer operators, a significant association between job stress and musculoskeletal symptoms in the back was found but no significant association was obtained with MSDs in the neck, shoulders, elbows, hands, and wrists [41]. In a study among military personnel, significant association of anxiety and depression with MSDs was reported [42]. A systematic review integrated strong evidence of an association between knee pain and anxiety, depression, and poor mental health [43], including three randomized clinical trials that showed treatment with antidepressant drug was related to pain relief.…”

Background Musculoskeletal symptoms often occur in more than one anatomical site. The present study aimed to define specific patterns of multisite musculoskeletal disorders and examine how these patterns are related to common psychological problems. Methods Using the data from an interview-based health survey of 358 samples of the industrial manufacturing male employees, we derived major patterns of musculoskeletal complaints using latent class analysis and investigated its association with psychological problems score extracted from depression, anxiety, and stress measured by Depression/Anxiety/Stress Scale (DASS-21). Musculoskeletal disorders were assessed by Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ). The statistical analysis was carried out by Mplus 8. Results Complaints in the lower back (42.1%) and neck (30.7%) had the highest prevalence, and in the hip (15.0%) and ankle (12.2%) the lowest. Three major patterns of musculoskeletal disorders were extracted using latent class analysis. Class 1 (12.9%) was characterized by a high rate of complaints in upper musculoskeletal sites, such as the neck, shoulder, and joints; class 2 (38.2%) was identified by a higher rate of complaints in the lower and upper back; and class 3 (48.9%) was marked by low rates of complaints in all musculoskeletal sites. After adjustment for confounding variables and specifying class 3 as the reference, it turned out that there was a statistically significant association between the psychological problems score and the chance of being in class 1 (OR = 2.47, 95% CI 1.66–3.68), but not a significant association with the chance of being in class 2 (OR = 1.51, 95% CI 0.83–2.72). Conclusion Musculoskeletal disorders can be summarized in the latent class-derived patterns in the adult study population and provide additional prognostics. Common psychological problems are significantly associated with the type of musculoskeletal disorder patterns. The findings in this study could be useful for dealing with prevention and treatment programs.

“…In the conducted studies, various areas, such as the neck, lower back, or shoulder, have been mentioned as the most common MSDs in computer users (1,6,(9)(10)(11)(12). The relationship between the ergonomic hazards of different parts of the desk with the MSDs of computer users is not clear.…”

Background: Ergonomic risk factors are among the critical risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in office workers. Objectives: This study investigated the MSD prevalence and the ergonomic risk factors of staff workstations at Kashan University of Medical Sciences (KAUMS), Kashan, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021. The samples were the office workers of KAUMS who had more than one year of work experience and worked with computers for at least 3 hours a day on average. The samples were selected using the stratified sampling method, and finally, 132 employees participated in the study. The data were collected using the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire and the rapid office strain assessment (ROSA) checklist. The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman’s correlation, and non-parametric regression tests by SPSS software (version 26). Results: The mean age of the participants was 40.16 ± 7.79 years, and 62.9% of the subjects were female. Female subjects complained significantly more about MSDs than male subjects (P < 0.05). The most widely recognized MSDs were neck, lower back, and upper back pain. Disorders in the right-sided upper limb were essentially more frequent than in the left (P < 0.05). All chairs, 62.1% of the monitors-telephones, and 90.9% of the mouses-keyboards in workstations were in a warning or dangerous condition. The scores of MSDs in the vertebral column, shoulder girdle, forearm, lower back, and lower limbs were fundamentally related to the ROSA score in the monitor section. Conclusions: The most widely recognized MSDs among office workers were neck, lower back, and upper back pain, respectively. Female employees had more MSDs. All workstations (100%) were in an unsafe position, and the MSDs of the vertebral column, shoulder girdle, forearm, lower back, and lower organ were related to the position of the monitors. Accordingly, corrective interventions, particularly the adjustment of monitor placement in office workstations, are fundamental.
