Abstract
Introduction: Due to the obviousness of musculoskeletal disorders in health workers, especially patient carriers, we felt it necessary to check the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in these workers by correcting their posture.
Mateials and Methods: The study is semi-experimental. First, a self-made demographic questionnaire was made on the level of awareness, and a Nordic questionnaire along with a numerical rating scale to measure the amount of pain related to musculoskeletal disorders was completed for all participants. Then, theoretical and practical interventions were carried out to correct posture using occupational medicine, ergonomics, and sports specialists, and again one month and six months later, questionnaires were completed and data were collected. In the end, data analysis was done with SPSS version 24 software.
Results: Descriptive statistics show that interventions aimed at correcting postures, reduce the average pain scores for different body parts of patient carriers. The most prevalent musculoskeletal disorder was back pain.
Statistical analysis showed that comparing the average score of back pain (p=0.000), neck (p=0.014), shoulder (p=0.006), knee (p=0.006), and leg (p=0.016) in patient carriers before There is a significant difference between postural correction and six months later.
However, comparing the average pain score of the elbow (p=0.18), wrist (p=0.06), back (p=0.3), and thigh (p=0.08) at the end of six months after correcting the posture, no significant difference was observed.
Conclusion: It seems that correcting the posture while carrying and moving the patient with the help of occupational medicine, ergonomics, and sports specialists can reduce musculoskeletal pain in medical workers, especially patient carriers. It was also seen that correcting posture has the fastest and highest effect on reducing back, neck, shoulder, knee, and leg pain.
