Abstract

Background

Leisure activities (LAs) have a positive effect on well-being, healthy aging, cognitive functions, physical function, and mental health.

Purpose

To determine the prevalence of chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMSP) in schoolteachers and evaluate the relationship between different types of LAs and CMSP.

Methods

A total of 433 in-service schoolteachers (303 female, 130 male) participated in this cross-sectional study between January 2023 and March 2023 using an online survey. Common LAs in Turkey, including reading books/magazines/newspapers or writing stories/letters, leisure physical activities (PAs), computer-based LAs, television viewing, LAs on smartphones, music listening, going to the cinema/theatre/opera/ballet/concert, gardening, cooking meal/pastry, meeting with friends, and painting/marbling/ceramic/knitting, and their durations were recorded.

Results

The median age of the participants was 38.0 (IQR, 35.0–45.0) years. The prevalence of CMSP was 44.8%. Multiple logistic regression analysis including age, sex, body mass index, comorbidities, weekly standing duration at work, and LAs showed that there was an inverse relationship between CMSP and PAs (OR = 0.564, 95% CI: 0.357–0.890) and listening to music (OR = 0.555, 95% CI: 0.317–0.973). Moreover, LAs on smartphones (OR = 4.318, 95% CI: 2.004–9.308), gardening (OR = 1.827, 95% CI: 1.097–3.043), and having a thyroid disorder (OR = 2.212, 95% CI: 1.045–4.684) were predictive variables for CMSP.

Conclusions

Considering that PAs and music listening are inversely associated with CMSP, it may be beneficial to make them a part of the lifestyle of both healthy individuals and individuals with CMSP. Physicians should also be aware that LAs on smartphones carry a greater risk for CMSP.

教师休闲活动与慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛的关系

休闲活动对幸福感、健康老龄化、认知功能、身体功能和心理健康都有积极影响。目的了解学校教师慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛（CMSP）的患病率，探讨不同类型LAs与CMSP的关系。方法于2023年1月至2023年3月对433名在职教师（女性303人，男性130人）进行横断面调查。土耳其常见的活动，包括阅读书籍/杂志/报纸或写故事/写信，休闲体育活动（pa），电脑活动，看电视，智能手机活动，听音乐，去电影院/剧院/歌剧/芭蕾舞/音乐会，园艺，做饭/糕点，与朋友会面，绘画/大理石雕刻/陶瓷/编织，并记录其持续时间。结果参与者年龄中位数为38.0 （IQR, 35.0 ~ 45.0）岁。CMSP患病率为44.8%。纳入年龄、性别、体重指数、合共病、每周工作站立时间、LAs等因素的多元logistic回归分析显示，CMSP与PAs （OR = 0.564, 95% CI: 0.357-0.890）、听音乐（OR = 0.555, 95% CI: 0.317-0.973）呈负相关。此外，智能手机上的LAs （OR = 4.318, 95% CI: 2.004-9.308）、园艺（OR = 1.827, 95% CI: 1.097-3.043）和甲状腺疾病（OR = 2.212, 95% CI: 1.045-4.684）是CMSP的预测变量。结论考虑到PAs和音乐听与CMSP呈负相关，将它们作为健康个体和CMSP患者生活方式的一部分可能是有益的。医生也应该意识到，智能手机上的LAs具有更大的CMSP风险。
