Gender differences in prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among surgeons
Background
work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) have been studied extensively in different types of occupations. Surgeons are especially prone to MSDs owing to their long working hours, high strain, and abnormal working postures. In this study, we examined the prevalence of MSDs in surgeons, with special regard to gender differences.
Methods
we surveyed surgeons at two tertiary referral hospitals, Soroka Medical Center, and Hadassah Medical Center. Participants were asked to complete standardized questionnaires regarding musculoskeletal symptoms using the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire.
Results
a total of 105 questionnaires were collected and analyzed. 43 % were filled by females and 57 % by males. Most respondents experienced MSDs in the last twelve months, with a higher proportion in females. females were also more likely to report symptoms in the upper extremity area in comparison to males.
Conclusion
the prevalence of MSDs in surgeons is high, females are more prone to MSDs than males. Further research is needed to identify the reasons and to provide a prevention plan.
期刊介绍:
The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
