Abstract

BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal disorders are important health problems due to their high incidence as well as their effects on the society and individuals. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the musculoskeletal disorders experienced by teachers, and to evaluate their relationship with certain factors causing musculoskeletal disorders. METHODS The cross-sectional study was carried out on 416 teachers working in a provincial center using the face-to-face interview method. RESULTS Per this 64.9% of the teachers had musculoskeletal disorders, and the pain was mostly localized in the neck region with 55.5% . The work stress scores of the teachers were found to have a positive and significant correlation with musculoskeletal disorder scores and a negative significant correlation with the satisfaction with life scores (p≤0.001). In multiple regression analysis, the time spent sitting at a desk, time spent working in a standing position, time devoted to housework, shoe preference, work stress and life satisfaction were determined as effective predictors on musculoskeletal complaints. The model that was developed explained 22.5% of the variance (R2 = 22.5; p≤0.001). CONCLUSIONS Due to the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among teachers, health-promoting actions are needed in order to raise the awareness of both administrators and teachers in improving working conditions as well as preventing musculoskeletal disorders.
教师肌肉骨骼疾病及其影响因素:以土耳其为例。
背景肌肉骨骼疾病发病率高,对社会和个人的影响大,是重要的健康问题。目的了解教师所经历的肌肉骨骼疾病,并评价其与引起肌肉骨骼疾病的某些因素的关系。方法采用面对面访谈法对某省级中心416名教师进行横断面调查。结果64.9%的教师存在肌肉骨骼疾病,其中颈部疼痛居多,占55.5%。教师的工作压力得分与肌肉骨骼障碍得分呈显著正相关,与生活满意度得分呈显著负相关(p≤0.001)。在多元回归分析中,坐在办公桌前的时间、站立工作的时间、做家务的时间、鞋子偏好、工作压力和生活满意度被确定为肌肉骨骼疾病的有效预测因子。所建立的模型解释了22.5%的方差(R2 = 22.5;p≤0.001)。结论由于教师中存在肌肉骨骼疾病,应采取健康促进措施,提高管理人员和教师对改善工作条件和预防肌肉骨骼疾病的意识。

期刊介绍: Cognition, Technology & Work focuses on the practical issues of human interaction with technology within the context of work and, in particular, how human cognition affects, and is affected by, work and working conditions. The aim is to publish research that normally resides on the borderline between people, technology, and organisations. Including how people use information technology, how experience and expertise develop through work, and how incidents and accidents are due to the interaction between individual, technical and organisational factors. The target is thus the study of people at work from a cognitive systems engineering and socio-technical systems perspective. The most relevant working contexts of interest to CTW are those where the impact of modern technologies on people at work is particularly important for the users involved as well as for the effects on the environment and plants. Modern society has come to depend on the safe and efficient functioning of a multitude of technological systems as diverse as industrial production, transportation, communication, supply of energy, information and materials, health and finance.
