Yoğun Bakım ve Ameliyathane Çalışanlarında Kas İskelet Sistem Ağrıları

Amaç: Kas iskelet sistemi bozuklukları (KİSB) hastane çalışanlarında mesleğe bağlı görülen en önemli sağlık problemlerinden biridir. Biz bu çalışmada ameliyathane ve yoğun bakım çalışanlarında eklem, ekstremite ve omurga bozukluklarını değerlendirip; bu bireylerin günlük yaşam aktivitelerini, ilaç kullanım sıklıklarını, dizabilitelerini ortaya koymayı amaçladık. Gereç Ve Yöntem: Ameliyathane ve yoğun bakımda çalışan 65 personelin demografik özellikleri, mesleği, çalıştığı birim, çalışma süresi, çalışma yılı, vücut kitle indeksi ve ayakta kalma süresi sorgulanmış ve Genişletilmiş Nordic Kas-iskelet Sistemi Anketi doldurulmuştur. Bulgular: Çalışanlarda sırasıyla bel, diz ve boyun-sırt ağrıları en sık saptanmıştır (%66,2, %63,1, %53,8). Hastaneye yatışta sırasıyla boyun-sırt, kalça/uyluk, bel ve omuz ağrısı önde gelmektedir (%8,6, %8,3, %4,7, %3,7). Son 12 ay içinde ağrı nedeniyle normal ev veya ev dışı aktiviteleri kısıtlılığına ve ağrı nedeniyle ağrı kesici kullanımına bel, boyun ve diz ağrıları sıklıkla sebep olmuştur. Son 12 ay içinde istirahat raporu kullanımında ayak/ayak bileği, bel ve kalça-uyluk ağrıları başı çekmektedir. Sonuç: Yoğun bakım ve ameliyathane çalışanlarında KİSB özellikle bel, boyun ve diz ağrıları; ev ve iş aktivitelerinde kısıtlılık, doktora başvuru, ağrı kesici kullanımında artış ve istirahat raporu kullanımında artışla beraber önemli bir dizabilite kaynağıdır.

Musculoskeletal Pain Among Intansive Care And Operating Room Staff

Purpose: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are one of the most important occupationalhealth problems of hospital staff. In this study, we aimed to evaluate joint, limb and spine disorders in operating room and intensive care staff to reveal the daily life activities, frequency of drug use, and disability of these individuals. Material And Method: Demographic characteristics, occupation, department, duration of work, year of job, body mass index and duration of standing were investigated and the Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire was completed by 65 operating room and intensive care staff.Results: Low back, knee and neck pain were the most frequent ones in the employees (66.2%, 63.1%, 53.8% respectively). Neck, hip / thigh, low back and shoulder pain are the leading cause of hospitalization (8,6%, 8,3%, 4,7%, 3,7% respectively). In the last 12 months, use of painkillers and limitation of home or out-of-home activities due to pain, often caused from low back, neck and knee pain. During the last 12 months, the sick leave foot / ankle, low back and hip-thigh pains are the leading ones. Conclusion: In the intensive care unit and operating room staff, the MSD is mainly characterized by waist, neck and knee pain; It is an important source of disability with the increase in the use of sick leave and limitation in home and work activities, referral to the doctor, increase in the use of painkillers.
