“…Because of the close connection between physical workload and musculoskeletal diseases, it has been argued that vocational psychosocial and physical opportunities must be taken into account when analyzing the risk factors of career-oriented musculoskeletal diseases [30]. Although some studies have reported strong associations between physical risk factors in the workplace and musculoskeletal diseases in hospital nurses [24,26,27], to the best of our knowledge, no meta-analysis has specifically addressed the relationship between psychological, physical, and social factors on MSDs.…”

Purpose: Nurses' musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs) are worldwide prevalent and are considered to be a costly occupational injury. This study aims to investigate the relationship between exposure to occupation-related psychosocial factors, physical workload, and upper body musculoskeletal diseases among hospital nurses. Methods: An electronic search was implemented using nine databases with June 2019 as the latest search date. English and Chinese studies were chosen, and data were independently and separately extracted by two investigators. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated for each subset, using the fixed or random-effects model, following heterogeneity between studies for research synthesis. The source of heterogeneity was explored through subgroup, sensitivity, and meta-analyses. Results: Eighteen studies were included in the meta-analysis. Most participants were women (51.4% e100.0%), aged between 20 and 60. A correlation was found between high job demand and the prevalence of low back pain (OR ¼ 1.41; 95% CI ¼ 1.23-1.62). Total job strain was related to the risk of low back pain (OR ¼ 1.71; 95% CI ¼ 1.15-2.55), neck pain (OR ¼ 1.67; 95% CI ¼ 1.26-2.20), shoulder pain (OR ¼ 1.62; 95% CI ¼ 1.06-2.48) and back pain (OR ¼ 1.45; 95% CI ¼ 1.10-1.91). Furthermore, the physical workload was significantly associated with the prevalence of low back pain (OR ¼ 1.76; 95% CI ¼ 1.32-2.35), neck pain (OR ¼ 1.17; 95% CI ¼ 1.08-1.27), shoulder pain (OR ¼ 1.59; 95% CI ¼ 1.37-1.85) and back pain (OR ¼ 1.66; 95% CI ¼ 1.45-1.90). Conclusion: There were significant associations between occupational strain, more physical workload and upper body MSDs, but the evidence advocating a growth risk in MSDs due to low levels of social support is quite weak.

“…3 According to the World Health Organization, MSDs are work-related when work activities significantly lead to the development and exacerbation of these disorders. 4 These disorders are the most common and costly occupational injuries, accounting for about 7% of total community diseases, 14% of cases referred to physicians, 19% of hospitalized cases, 5,6 and 32% of total occupational diseases. 7 In addition, MSDs are the most common cause of disability and absenteeism in the Workplace in developing countries.…”

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: Considering the importance of the hand hygiene behaviors for the prevention of COVID-19 transmission, the current study was conducted to investigate the changes in hand-washing behaviors and its related factors among the northern Iranian population during the first peak and subsidence of COVID-19 pandemic period.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted during two periods in Guilan (Northern provinces of Iran). First period conducted at the first peak of COVID-19 pandemic in Iran (between 03/23/2020 and 03/30/2020), and second period conducted at the first subsidence of COVID-19 pandemic in Iran (between 05/3/20 and 05/10/2020). The questionnaire was completed by 571 adult participants. Data on frequency, procedure and circumstances of hand-washing and obsessive-like behaviors were collected. Potential correlates of reduction in frequency of hand washing were analyzed by multiple logistic regression.Result: Compared to peak of COVID-19 pandemic, frequency and procedure of hand-washing and obsessive-like behaviors were significantly reduced at the subsidence of COVID-19 pandemic (all p<0.05). Females with negative family history of coronavirus disease had greater odds (Adjusted Odds Ratio = 2.19, P =0.03) of reduction in the frequency of daily hand-washing. Younger than 50 years old males and males who reduced the procedure of hand-washing had greater odds (AOR = 1.71, P =0.02 and AOR = 2.16, P =0.001, respectively) of reduction in the frequency of daily hand-washing. Conclusion: Northern Iranian populations were found to decrease their frequency and quality of hand washing and obsessive-like behaviors over time from the first peak to first subsidence of COVID-19 pandemic. Here, the factors that independently predicted reduction in frequency of hand washing in male population were younger age and reduction in procedure of hand-washing and in female population was a negative family history of coronavirus disease. Thus, special attention should be paid to maintaining the general population’s perceived susceptibility to illness, especially in younger men during the pandemic.
