摘要
医院繁重的工作量和身体需求导致的长期疲劳会增加肌肉骨骼系统的压力,导致肌肉骨骼问题,可能会对护士的工作表现和生活质量产生负面影响。另一方面,高度的姿势意识可以帮助护士养成正确的姿势和运动习惯,减少经历不适的风险,从而保持他们的身体健康并支持劳动力的可持续性。因此,确定在医院环境中工作的护士的姿势意识与疲劳和肌肉骨骼不适的关系是特别重要的,因为医院环境中工作条件繁重,存在许多人体工程学风险。目的本研究的目的是描述在医院工作的护士的姿势习惯,意识,职业疲劳水平和肌肉骨骼疾病,并检查这些因素之间的关系。方法采用定量横断面设计。研究样本包括在土耳其一家医院工作的132名护士。该研究的数据是在2023年7月至10月期间使用职业疲劳疲劳/恢复量表(OFER)、康奈尔肌肉骨骼不适问卷(CMDQ)和姿势习惯和意识量表(PHAS)收集的。结果OFER量表的恢复分量表与相has量表的姿势习惯分量表存在显著的低水平正相关(r = 0.277, p < 0.05)。OFER量表的慢性疲劳分量表与相has量表的姿势习惯分量表之间存在显著的负相关(r = - 0.311, p < 0.001)。此外,OFER量表的急性疲劳分量表与PHAS量表的姿势习惯分量表之间存在显著的负相关(r = - 0.326, p < 0.001)。结论随着护士正确体位习惯的改善,急慢性疲劳均有所减少,康复率提高。因此,提高护士的体位意识和促进正确的体位习惯的干预也可能对职业疲劳和疲劳产生积极的影响。
An Examination of Relationships Between Postural Habits and Awareness of Fatigue and Musculoskeletal Discomfort in Nurses
Introduction
Prolonged fatigue, caused by the hospital's demanding workload and physical demands, can increase strain on the musculoskeletal system, leading to musculoskeletal issues that may negatively impact nurses' job performance and quality of life. High postural awareness, on the other hand, can help nurses develop correct posture and movement habits, reducing the risk of experiencing discomfort, thus preserving their physical health and supporting workforce sustainability. Therefore, it is of particular importance to determine the relationship of postural awareness to fatigue and musculoskeletal discomfort in nurses working in a hospital environment with heavy working conditions and many ergonomic risks.
Aim
The aim of this study was to describe the postural habits, awareness, occupational fatigue levels and musculoskeletal disorders of nurses working in hospitals and to examine the relationships between these factors.
Method
This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of 132 nurses working in a hospital in Türkiye. The data for the study were collected between July and October 2023 using the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion/Recovery Scale (OFER), Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ) and Postural Habits and Awareness Scale (PHAS).
Results
A significant positive, low-level correlation was found between the Recovery subscale of the OFER scale and the Postural Habits subscale of the PHAS scale (r = 0.277, p < 0.05). A significant negative, moderate-level correlation was observed between the Chronic Fatigue subscale of the OFER scale and the Postural Habits subscale of the PHAS scale (r = −0.311, p < 0.001). Additionally, a significant negative, moderate-level correlation was found between the Acute Fatigue subscale of the OFER scale and the Postural Habits subscale of the PHAS scale (r = −0.326, p < 0.001).
Conclusion
This study found that as nurses' correct postural habits improved, both acute and chronic fatigue decreased, whereas recovery increased. It is suggested that interventions aimed at enhancing postural awareness and promoting correct postural habits in nurses may also positively influence occupational fatigue and exhaustion.
