“…In line with our study, alpha values > 0.78 and ICC values > 0.88 were also reported in the Turkish version [ 25 ]. This is in contrast to the Hebrew version where lower internal consistency was reported [ 48 ], indicating no relationship was present between items. In a modified NMQ-E version in a nursing population, high internal consistency was reported for each region and the related subscales of Severity of symptoms and Impact on activities [ 35 ].…”

“…In comparison with previous research, our reliability results demonstrated relatively lower Kappa coefficient values in comparison with the original [ 19 ]. In contrast to both the original and the Hebrew version, in this study, ‘lifetime prevalence’ demonstrated the lowest whereas point prevalence displayed the highest values [ 19 , 48 ]. This could be due to cultural variation of the difference in the retest period, factors that will need to be considered in future research.…”

“…Further, the related psychometric properties, including reliability and validity, were appropriately evaluated using the COSMIN standards. The NMQ-E is extracted from the NMQ and, because of its user-friendly and comprehensive format, has been translated into different languages in different formats, both online and paper-based, for use in varied cultural and linguistic settings [ 25 , 35 , 48 ]. During the process of translation, no significant difficulties were found except for the chiropractic phrase that was removed as this specialization does not have an academic center in Iran and is not a familiar term for Iranian Persian-speaking people.…”

Background To translate and cross-culturally adapt the Extended Version of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ-E) into Persian (NMQ-E-P) and evaluate the psychometric properties in a general population with different occupational tasks across nine body regions. Methods This cross-sectional study was designed according to the standard guidelines and the COSMIN checklist. The NMQ-E-P was achieved through forward and backward translation methods and consensus to produce the final draft. A Persian-speaking population (n = 571, age 38.24 ± 7.65 years, female = 46.2%) was recruited from industries and office workers with three occupational task inclusion criteria: assembly, office, and lifting. Psychometric properties included validity for face (from confirmed clarity, simplicity, and readability), content (via the content validity index); and construct (through known group validity); additionally, the properties of internal consistency (Cronbach’s α); and test-retest reliability (Kappa coefficient of agreement) were considered. Results No significant issues during the translation process were found. The NMQ-E-P showed adequate internal consistency for all regions (α ≥ 0.87). The test-retest reliability was examined with Kappa agreement correlation coefficient and all items, except ankle regions, showed very good agreements (Kappa coefficient = 0.87-1.0). Excellent ICC values were obtained for quantitative variables (ICC > 0.88) and good construct validity was revealed (p < 0.001). Conclusion The Persian version of the NMQ-E has very good validity and reliability and can be used by researchers and professionals to evaluate the prevalence of MSDs in nine body regions simultaneously.

“…The last part of the questionnaire focused on the incidence and severity of musculoskeletal symptoms, headaches, perceived stress and sleep patterns. The musculoskeletal symptoms were assessed by selected items of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) [ 27 , 28 , 29 ]. The questions relate to the occurrence of symptoms in different areas of the body and at different time points.…”

The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) has increased significantly in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a fundamental change in the lifestyles, ways of learning and working patterns of the general population, which in turn, might lead to health consequences. The aim of this study was to evaluate the conditions of e-learning and the impact of the learning modality on the occurrence of musculoskeletal symptoms among university students in Poland. This cross-sectional study included 914 students who completed an anonymous questionnaire. The questions covered two time periods (before and during the COVID-19 pandemic) and were aimed at obtaining information about lifestyle (including physical activity using the modified International Physical Activity Questionnaire, 2007 (IPAQ), perceived stress and sleep patterns), the ergonomics of computer workstations (by Rapid Office Strain Assessment, 2012 (ROSA) method), the incidence and severity of musculoskeletal symptoms (by the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, 2018 (NMQ)) and headaches. The main differences between the two periods were statistically significant according to the Wilcoxon test in terms of physical activity, computer use time, and severity of headaches. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase in MSD (68.2% vs. 74.6%) and their intensity (2.83 ± 2.36 vs. 3.50 ± 2.79 points) among the student population (p < 0.001). In the group of students with MSD, there was a high musculoskeletal load, due to the lack of ergonomic remote learning workstations. In future, a thorough study should be carried out, and there is an urgent need to raise students’ awareness of arranging learning workstations according to ergonomic principles in order to prevent the occurrence of musculoskeletal problems.

“…Ostatnia część kwestionariusza dotyczyła częstości występowania i nasilenia dolegliwości mięśniowo--szkieletowych. Zastosowano Norweski kwestionariusz oceny dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych (The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire -NMQ) [8][9][10]. Osoby badane poproszone zostały o wskazanie wszystkich okolic anatomicznych, w jakich występowały dolegliwości przed epidemią, natomiast w odniesieniu do okresu epidemii -dominującą dolegliwość.…”

Wstęp: Epidemia COVID-19 przyczyniła się do zasadniczej zmiany stylu życia oraz sposobu nauki i pracy, co potencjalnie może prowadzić do poważnych konsekwencji zdrowotnych, zwłaszcza w kontekście dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych. Celem badania była ocena wpływu nauki i pracy zdalnej na niektóre aspekty stylu życia i sposób wykonywania nauki/pracy oraz występowanie dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych u studentów i pracowników uczelni wyższych w Łodzi. Materiał i metody: Badaniem objętych zostało 914 studentów i 451 pracowników, którzy wypełnili anonimowy kwestionariusz online. Pytania dotyczyły 2 okresów: przed epidemią COVID-19 oraz w jej trakcie od października 2020 r. do czerwca 2021 r. i miały na celu uzyskanie informacji o stylu życia (w tym aktywności fizycznej, snu i odczuwanego stresu), ergonomii stanowisk pracy przy komputerze, występowania i nasilenia objawów mięśniowo-szkieletowych oraz bólu głowy. Wyniki: W czasie epidemii istotnie wzrosło nasilenie dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych w grupie pracowników dydaktycznych (3,2±2,5 vs 4,1±3,0 pkt VAS), w grupie pracowników administracyjnych (3,1±2,5 vs 4,0±3,1 pkt VAS) oraz w grupie studentów (2,8±2,4 vs 3,5±2,8 pkt VAS). Na podstawie oceny stanowisk pracy metodą ROSA stwierdzono, że poziom obciążenia i ryzyka wystąpienia dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych był średni we wszystkich 3 grupach badanych. Wnioski: W świetle uzyskanych wyników bardzo ważna jest edukacja w zakresie racjonalnego korzystania z urządzeń nowych technologii, w tym odpowiedniego zaprojektowania komputerowych stanowisk pracy/nauki, planowania przerw i czasu przeznaczonego na regenerację oraz aktywność fizyczną. Med. Pr. 2023;74(1) Słowa kluczowe: ergonomia, COVID-19, stanowiska komputerowe, praca/nauka zdalna, dolegliwości układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego, studenci i pracownicy uczelni wyższych
