“…It is important to note this relationship is expected, and it is the case in the studies of Jacob et al (2023); Alendijani et al (2023); Kurtul & Mazican (2023); and Jokar et al (2022) [ 6 , 8 , 11 , 48 ]. These studies found CTS patients with high anxiety and stress levels reported considerable improvement in their functional status, and their symptoms got worse with persistent stress, which is similar to our results.…”

“…These include the anatomy of the wrist, health problems, and repetitive hand motions. Other factors that may increase the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome include being obese, pregnancy, diabetes, high blood pressure, and arthritis [ 6 ]. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, high salt intake, a sedentary lifestyle, and a high body mass index (BMI) may also increase the risk of developing CTS.…”

Background Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent condition characterized by hand pain, tingling, and numbness. The severity of symptoms and functional status in CTS patients may be influenced by perceived stress and how individuals cope with it. However, scarce knowledge exists about the role of coping strategies as moderators in this relationship. Unfolding the role of perceived stress and coping strategies for CTS management will help the nurse to provide comprehensive and tailored nursing care. This will ultimately improve patient comfort, functionality, and quality of life. Purposes This study aimed to examine the role of coping strategies (adaptive and maladaptive) in the relationship between perceived stress and both symptoms severity and function status among those patients. Method We employed a multisite, correlational study design with moderation analysis. The study included 215 patients with CTS from neurosurgery outpatient clinics at three hospitals in Egypt. After obtaining their consent to participate, eligible participants completed anonymous, self-reported measures of perceived stress, the brief COPE inventory, and the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire. Demographic and biomedical data were also collected. The questionnaire took about 20 min to be completed. The data was collected over six months, starting in February 2023. Results The results showed that perceived stress, adaptive coping, and maladaptive coping were significant predictors of symptoms severity and functional status. Adaptive coping moderated the relationships between perceived stress and both symptoms severity and function status, while maladaptive coping did not. The interaction between perceived stress and adaptive coping explained a moderate effect on symptoms severity and function status after controlling for the main effects and the covariates. Conclusion This study explored the relationship between perceived stress, coping strategies, and outcomes in patients with CTS. The results indicate that nurses play a vital role in assessing and assisting patients to adopt effective coping strategies to manage perceived stress and alleviate symptoms and functional impairment. Moreover, the findings support the need for psychological interventions that address both perceived stress and coping strategies as a way to enhance the functioning status and quality of life of patients with CTS.

“…Pegawai yang bekerja >5 jam/hari berisiko 2,04 mengalami CTS dibandingkan dengan yang bekerja <5 jam/hari. Pada penelitian Kurtul et al 20 dibahas juga mengenai durasi kerja harian yang menjadi faktor risiko gejala CTS, di mana gejala CTS lebih sering terjadi pada pegawai yang bekerja >8 jam per hari. Dikatakan bahwa pegawai kantoran di rumah sakit yang bekerja ≥8 jam per hari memiliki peluang 10,28 kali lebih tinggi untuk kemungkinan melaporkan adanya gejala CTS.…”

“…Hal tersebut sejalan dengan temuan Aripin et al 21 yang juga menyebutkan bahwa terdapat hubungan bermakna antara posisi mengetik komputer dengan gejala CTS. Penelitian oleh Kurtul et al 20 menyebutkan bahwa gejala CTS lebih jarang terjadi pada pekerja atau karyawan yang menggunakan alas mouse penyangga pergelangan tangan dibandingkan dengan yang tidak menggunakannya. Dinyatakan bahwa tidak menggunakan alas mouse penyangga pergelangan tangan merupakan faktor risiko untuk gejala CTS yang dilaporkan sendiri pada pegawai kantoran di rumah sakit.…”

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is often reported as an occupational disease and a common problem among workers who often use their hands. The causes of CTS are considered multifactorial, involving both individual and occupational factors. Computer use is thought to be a risk factor for CTS. Using a computer keyboard is associated with wrist or hand pain, which is related with repetitive hand movements. However, the available evidence regarding the relationship between computer use or occupational risk factors and CTS is still controversial. This study aimed to determine the occupational risk factors for CTS in office workers. This was a literature review study. Data were searched from databases of Crossref and Google Scholar. The keywords were carpal tunnel syndrome, risk factor, ergonomic, occupation, computer office, workers The results obtained 10 articles reviewed according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Work duration and work periods were referred to occupational risk factors for CTS. Awkward wrist/hand postures especially without mousepad supporting the hand or wrist, and repetitive movement were direct risk factors for CTS. In conclusion, risk factors for CTS among office workers are duration and period of working, awkward wrist/hand posture, and repetitive movement. Keywords: occupational risk factors; carpal tunnel syndrome; office workers. Abstrak: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) merupakan penyakit akibat kerja dan menjadi masalah umum di antara para pekerja yang sering menggunakan tangan. Penyebab CTS dianggap multifaktorial, yang melibatkan faktor individu dan pekerjaan. Penggunaan komputer diduga menjadi faktor risiko CTS. Penggunaan keyboard komputer dihubungkan dengan nyeri pergelangan tangan atau tangan, yang berkaitan dengan gerakan tangan berulang. Walaupun demikian, bukti yang tersedia perihal keterkaitan antara penggunaan komputer atau faktor risiko pekerjaan dan CTS masih kontroversial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor risiko pekerjaan terjadinya CTS pada pekerja kantoran. Jenis penelitian ini ialah suatu literature review menggunakan data- base Crossref dan Google Scholar dengan kata kunci carpal tunnel syndrome, risk factor, ergonomic, occupation, computer office, workers. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 10 artikel yang ditelaah sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi yang telah ditentukan. Durasi kerja dan periode kerja disebut sebagai faktor risiko pekerjaan untuk terjadinya CTS. Postur yang janggal, khususnya dikarenakan tanpa penggunaan mousepad penyangga tangan atau pergelangan tangan serta gerakan berulang saat menggunakan mouse dan mengetik menggunakan keyboard secara langsung menjadi faktor risiko terjadinya CTS. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah durasi dan periode kerja, postur tangan/pergelangan yang janggal, dan gerakan berulang merupakan faktor risiko pekerjaan untuk terjadinya CTS. Kata kunci: faktor risiko pekerjaan; carpal tunnel syndrome; pekerja kantoran

BackgroundCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a considerable concern, impacting individual health and socio‐economic factors. A systematic review and meta‐analysis of CTS prevalence would offer valuable insights for healthcare planning, improving outcomes and reducing the burden on affected individuals.MethodsIn line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a meta‐analysis was conducted to estimate the prevalence of CTS. Medline, CINAHL, AMED, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched for studies published from 1 January 2012 to 10 October 2024. The pooled prevalence rates were determined using a random effects model.ResultsThe search yielded 548 initial findings, 103 duplicate records were eliminated, and only 31 of these papers were deemed relevant for inclusion in this review. The prevalence estimates were sourced from 15 different countries, including the United States (n = 8), Saudi Arabia (n = 5), Ethiopia (n = 3), Turkey (n = 2), Iran (n = 2) and Brazil (n = 2), among others. Each of the following countries contributed one study: China, France, Germany, India, Kuwait, the United Kingdom, Korea, the Netherlands, and Sweden. In total, the included studies analysed 5,311,785 individuals, revealing a prevalence of CTS ranging from 0.003 to 0.743. The random‐effects meta‐analysis yielded an overall prevalence estimate of 0.144, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.067–0.282, based on 30 studies.ConclusionThe prevalence estimates for CTS are notably high, highlighting the need for effective surgical management strategies. Developing and implementing these interventions is crucial to enhancing health outcomes for individuals affected by CTS.
