Abstract

Background

Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSD's) is an entity that includes conditions and diseases that are caused or aggravated by a person's workplace conditions. Multiple studies have been published regarding WRMSD's affecting physicians among different specialties; however the prevalence and nature of WRMSD's affecting dermatologists is unknown.

Methods

The electronic database MEDLINE was searched through PubMed and the google scholar platform in February 2022 using the following search terms: “dermatologists AND work related musculoskeletal disorders”, “dermatologists AND ergonomics”, as well as “physicians AND work related musculoskeletal disorders”. All articles involving dermatologists or dermatology residents were included in this study.

Results

Our search revealed that WRMSD's among dermatologists were assessed in 11 Articles. However, Most literature addressing the topic of WRMSD's among dermatologists is focused on Mohs surgeons with only one article discussing dermatologists in general. The main complaints were pain and stiffness involving the neck, shoulders, and the lumbar area of the back, respectively.

Conclusion

Dermatologists in general are more likely to develop WRMSD's due to the nature of their work and the procedures they perform. However, there are very few articles published regarding this matter, and consequently, little is known about the WRMDs that affect dermatologists and the ergonomic solutions that could be applied to prevent them.

皮肤科医生中与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病：综述

背景与工作相关的肌肉骨骼障碍（WRMSD）是一种包括由工作场所条件引起或加重的条件和疾病的实体。已经发表了多项关于WRMSD影响不同专业医生的研究；然而，WRMSD影响皮肤科医生的患病率和性质尚不清楚。方法2022年2月，通过PubMed和谷歌学者平台搜索电子数据库MEDLINE，搜索词如下：“皮肤科医生和工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病”、“皮肤科专家和人体工程学”以及“医生和工作有关的肌肉骨骼疾病”。所有涉及皮肤科医生或皮肤科住院医师的文章均纳入本研究。结果我们的检索显示，皮肤科医生中的WRMSD在11篇文章中进行了评估。然而，在皮肤科医生中，大多数关于WRMSD主题的文献都集中在莫氏外科医生身上，只有一篇文章讨论了皮肤科医生。主要主诉分别是颈部、肩部和背部腰部疼痛和僵硬。结论皮肤科医生由于其工作性质和所执行的程序，一般更有可能患上WRMSD。然而，关于这一问题发表的文章很少，因此，人们对影响皮肤科医生的WRMD以及可用于预防它们的人体工程学解决方案知之甚少。
