Abstract

Background and Aim: Musculoskeletal disorders are among the most common causes of occupational injuries and disabilities in countries around the world. One of the times when people are at risk for musculoskeletal disorders is during the military. Considering the importance of soldiers' health, which is one of the main military pillars of the country, and considering that previous studies have further examined other occupations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of the intervention program on the level of risk of musculoskeletal disorders in soldiers in different parts of a military unit. Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study that was performed on 140 male workers working by hand in different units of a military area in southern Iran in 2020. Sampling was available by sampling method. Assessing and determining the risk level for musculoskeletal disorders was performed using Rapid Exposure Assessment (QEC) software. Educational intervention for the intervention group, 4 60-minute training sessions were held. One month after the end of the educational intervention, the risk assessment of the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders in both groups was determined. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-24 statistical software. Results: The level of risk of musculoskeletal disorders after the educational intervention in the intervention group decreased compared to the control group and was statistically significant (P <0.05). Also, after the educational intervention in the two groups of intervention and control, in terms of the level of exposure to the risk factors of vibration, speed at work and job stress, there were no changes in the level of risk and training did not cause a statistically significant difference in these three factors (P >0.05). The level of whole body exposure risk for musculoskeletal disorders in the two groups of intervention and control after educational intervention is statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, the rate of musculoskeletal disorders in soldiers was high and correctional exercises had a significant effect on musculoskeletal disorders. Since musculoskeletal disorders are preventable, it can be concluded that planned trainings to the target community, including educational interventions, can be effective and useful.
教育干预对部队不同部位肌肉骨骼疾病风险水平的影响
背景和目的:肌肉骨骼障碍是世界各国职业伤害和残疾最常见的原因之一。人们面临肌肉骨骼疾病风险的时期之一是在军队服役期间。考虑到士兵健康的重要性,这是国家的主要军事支柱之一,并考虑到以前的研究已经进一步研究了其他职业。因此,本研究的目的是确定干预计划对军事部队不同部门士兵肌肉骨骼疾病风险水平的影响。方法:本研究是一项准实验性研究,于2020年在伊朗南部军事区的不同单位对140名男性工人进行了手工作业。可通过取样方法进行取样。使用快速暴露评估(QEC)软件评估和确定肌肉骨骼疾病的风险水平。对干预组进行教育干预,共进行4次60分钟的培训。教育干预结束一个月后,确定了两组患肌肉骨骼疾病风险的风险评估。数据分析采用SPSS-24统计软件。结果:与对照组相比,干预组教育干预后肌肉骨骼疾病的风险水平降低,具有统计学意义(P 0.05)。教育干预后干预组和对照组肌肉骨骼疾病全身暴露风险水平具有统计学意义。结论:根据本研究的结果,士兵肌肉骨骼疾病的发生率很高,矫正运动对肌肉骨骼疾病有显著影响。由于肌肉骨骼疾病是可以预防的,因此可以得出结论,对目标社区进行有计划的培训,包括教育干预,是有效和有用的。
