Abstract
Introduction: The most common occupational diseases are musculoskeletal disorders that happen with improper body posture while performing job duties. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and evaluate the physical condition of hospital employees using REBA and ROSA methods.
Materials and methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 125 employees of Dezful teaching hospital, selected by stratified random sampling method. Musculoskeletal disorders were assessed using the Nordic questionnaire, and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA)، and Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) methods were used to assess physical condition. The normality of the data was checked using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS version 23 software.
Results: The average age and work experience were 36.49±8.26 and 7.33±11.8 years, respectively. The highest prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders was related to the neck (47.7%) and wrist (40.4%), and the lowest was the elbow (7.8%). According to the REBA score, 18.3% of posture workers needed immediate corrections, and 37.8% needed corrections as soon as possible. According to the ROSA score, in 75.8% of the tasks, the work environment should be re-evaluated. There was a significant relationship (P-value<0.05) between wrist, shoulder, and neck disorders with gender, height, age, work history, and posture.
Conclusion: Considering the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and the high level of risk among employees, it is recommended to modify the workstation and train employees.
