Introduction: The aim of
this study was to evaluate the relationship between musculoskeletal system
problems and quality of life in physicians at our hospital.

Methods: 120 physicians
were enrolled the study. Musculoskeletal problems were evaluated a
questionnaire consisting of 30 questions and quality of life (QoL) was
evaluated by Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). The demographic characteristics
of the participants and in the questionnaire musculoskeletal problems, habits,
presence and localization of musculoskeletal disease, pain intensity and
duration,

chronic
diseases, history of trauma, working conditions and psychological stress levels
have been questioned.

Results: 76 assistants,
36 lecturers and 8 specialist were enrolled. 47,5% (57) participants had musculoskeletal
problems which more affect assistants (30).

Localizations
were neck (12,10%) and back respectively (14, 11,7%). Psychological stress
levels were found in most physician assistants. When the comparison of
physicians with musculoskeletal system problems and without musculoskeletal
system problems, mean of age, working year, NSP subparameters in pain, physical
activity and emotional condition were significantly in physicians with
musculoskeletal problems. In logistic regression analysis; age, ergonomics,
level of psychological stress were found the most effective factors.

Discussion and Conclusion: It is shown that, musculoskeletal system problems were found quite common
in physicians in this study. Existence of musculoskeletal system problems has
been shown to be associated with ergonomics, age, pain and psychological stress
levels.

Bir Üniversite Hastanesinde Çalışan Hekimlerde Kas İskelet Sistemi Problemleri ve Yaşam Kalitesinin Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Amaç:
Bu çalışmanın amacı hastanemizde çalışan hekimlerde kas iskelet sistemi (KİS)
problemleri ve yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmektir.

Yöntem ve Gereçler: Çalışmada 120 hekime ulaşıldı. KİS problemleri 30
sorudan oluşan bir anket formu ile, yaşam kalitesi ise Nothingham Sağlık
Profili (NSP) ile değerlendirildi. KİS problemlerine yönelik hazırlanan ankette
katılımcıların demografik özellikleri, alışkanlıkları, KİS hastalığının varlığı
ve lokalizasyonu, ağrı şiddet ve süresi, kronik hastalıkları, travma öyküsü, çalışma
koşulları ve psikolojik stres düzeyleri sorgulandı.

Bulgular: Katılımcıların 76’sı asistan, 36’ sı öğretim üyesi ve
8’i uzman hekimdi. %47.5 (57)’ inde KİS problemi vardı ve bu problemler en
fazla asistan hekimlerdeydi (30). Bu problemlerin lokalizasyonu ağırlıklı
olarak boyun %10 (12) ve bel %11.7 (14) deydi. Psikolojik stres düzeyi en fazla
asistan hekimlerde saptandı. KİS problemi olan hekimlerle olmayanlar
kıyaslandığında KİS problemi olan hekimlerin NSP alt parametrelerinden ağrı,
fiziksel aktivite, emosyonel durum puanları, yaş ortalaması ve hizmet yılı
anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti. Lojistik regresyon analizinde KİS probleminin
oluşmasında yaş, ergonomi ve stres düzeyi en etkili faktörler olarak saptandı.

Tartışma ve Sonuç: KİS problemi olan hekimlerde yaşam kalitesi
bozulurken ve yaş, ergonomik koşullar, psikolojik stres düzeyi KİS problemi
gelişmesinde en etkili faktörlerdir.
