摘要

Objective:The objective of the study was to identify musculoskeletal problems(MSPs)among nursing officers.Materials and Methods:A nonexperimental research design was used.Two hundred and seventy nursing officers were selected by purposive sampling technique.The standardized Nordic questionnaire was used to assess the MSPs and self-structured three-point rating scale was used to assess expressed practice of body mechanics of nursing officers.Results:The study findings revealed that 64.4% of nursing officers suffered from MSP such as ache,pain,and discomfort during the past 12 months and 43.7% during the past 7 days.The problem in the low back and the neck were highest 45.1% and 22.2%,respectively.This was followed by MSP of the upper back(14.0%),ankles(13.7%),knees(10.7%),shoulder(10.3%),hip/thighs(5.9%),wrists(4.4%),and elbows(3.3%).Around 49.2%complained that MSPs limit their work.There was significant association of MSP with selected personal variables like body mass index(P=0.001)and family history(P=0.02).There were also significant association of expressed practices of body mechanics with gender(P=0.01),area of current work(P=0.00),professional experience(P=0.03)and physical activity(P=0.00).Conclusion:The study indicates the large number of nursing officers had MSPs with the two most common sites being the lower back and the neck.This creates a need for prompt hospital education programs aimed to create awareness among nursing officers on the prevalence of MSPs.
