摘要

Women in nursing professions are at high risk for developing varicose veins as it requires physical work and prolonged standing. The aim of the study is to estimate the current prevalence of varicose veins among nurses at Dhulikhel Hospital and assess its risk factors. A cross sectional study was carried out among 181 female nurses from different clinical settings of Dhulikhel Hospital. A structured questionnaire was administered to gather the demographic, work related and medical history information. The participants underwent Doppler ultrasound for varicose veins confirmation. Varicose veins was defined as Doppler finding of reflux or vein diameter equal or greater than 5?mm. A total of 181 nurses participated in this study and 83 (46%) had varicose veins. The mean standing time was 4.28 (0.8) hours /day, mean sitting time was 1.28 (0.6) hours/day, mean walking time was 2.37 (0.8) hours/day. In the adjusted model the odds of having varicose veins was 27 times greater with every 1 hour increase in standing time per day (adjusted OR: 27.44; 95% CI 4.09–180.77; p-value 0.00). Varicose veins was prevalent among nurses’ at Dhulikhel Hospital. Prolonged standing was found to be a significant factor for varicose veins.
