“…Partindo desses pressupostos, é importante que os profissionais de saúde compreendam os aspectos que determinam o surgimento dos DORT, pois somente com essa compreensão pode-se perceber por que alguém pode apresentar dores, em alguns casos, sem a presença de lesões. Identificando os sintomas osteomusculares, é possível se realizar modificações que possam melhorar a organização, bem como a realização do trabalho dos profissionais de enfermagem, a fim de beneficiar esses trabalhadores e, por consequência, proporcionar melhorias no atendimento prestado (Ferreira, 2016;Arvidsson et al, 2016;Chiwaridzo et al, 2018;Elsherbeny et al, 2018;Brien et al, 2018).…”

“…No decorrer da pesquisa constatamos que, nos estudos nacionais e internacionais, as principais queixas e sintomatologias indicativas de DORT envolvem, principalmente, quadros álgicos em região lombar, cervical, membros superiores e inferiores, sendo a lombalgia o principal sintoma auto referido pelos profissionais da enfermagem. Os principais fatores etiológicos dos DORTS observados na presente revisão relacionam-se às posturas exercidas durante o labor, às longas jornadas de trabalho e aos altos índices de exposição mecânica, além do levantamento e manuseio de materiais, que resultam em altas cargas nas regiões do corpo mais relatadas com quadros álgicos (Ferreira, 2016;Rodrigues, 2016;Arvidsson et al, 2016;Freire et al, 2017;Chiwaridzo et al, 2018;Pereira, et al, 2018;Brien et al, 2018;Cargnin et al, 2019;Mazalo et al, 2021).…”

“…A maior prevalência dos sintomas na região lombar, deve-se a importância dessa região, para o trabalho dos profissionais de enfermagem, por ser uma região de sustentação do corpo, hipermóvel e de rotação do tronco e, muitas vezes, utilizada de forma inadequada pela má postura e por períodos prolongados. Notou-se uma forte relação da ocorrência de DORTS com o tempo de trabalho e tempo de exposição, relacionado a dinâmica de trabalho desses profissionais, significativamente associado ao desenvolvimento dos sintomas álgicos (Ferreira, 2016;Rodrigues, 2016;Arvidsson et al, 2016;Freire et al, 2017;Chiwaridzo et al, 2018;Pereira, et al, 2018;Brien et al, 2018;Cargnin et al, 2019;Mazalo et al, 2021).…”

Objetivo: Investigar as principais queixas álgicas indicativas de Distúrbio Osteomuscular Relacionado ao trabalho (DORT) entre profissionais da enfermagem. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com pesquisa nas bases de dados: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), National Library of Medice (PubMed) e Google Acadêmico. A partir dos descritores, seguindo os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, reunindo preferencialmente, artigos publicados nos últimos 5 anos, na língua portuguesa e inglesa, que apresentassem em seu conteúdo relação direta com o tema proposto. Resultados e discussão: Selecionou-se 11 artigos. As principais queixas e sintomatologias indicativas de DORT envolvem, principalmente, quadros álgicos em região lombar, cervical, membros superiores e inferiores, sendo a lombalgia o principal sintoma auto referido pelos profissionais da enfermagem. Os principais fatores etiológicos dos DORTS relacionam-se às posturas exercidas durante o labor, às longas jornadas de trabalho e aos altos índices de exposição mecânica, além do levantamento e manuseio de materiais que resultam em altas cargas nas regiões do corpo mais relatadas. Conclusão: Existe um elevado índice de dores relacionadas ao trabalho nos profissionais de enfermagem. As principais queixas são de quadros álgicos prevalentes na região lombar, associados à organização do trabalho e à biomecânica exercida durante o labor. Sugere-se a realização de estudos mais aprofundados acerca da temática, que possam embasar intervenções cada vez mais assertivas em função da qualidade de vida no trabalho e da promoção da saúde dos profissionais.

“…[10][11][12]. Speci cally, high prevalence rates of musculoskeletal disorders have been recorded among various professionals in the health care settings including; dentists [1,13,14,16], physiotherapists [17,18,19,20], medical laboratory technicians [21] and nurses [22,23,24,25,26]. It is estimated that almost one-third of all cases of sick leave among health care workers are associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders WMSDs [27].…”

Background: The Global Burden of Diseases 2017 found that musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the second most prevalent cause of years lost to injury, although years of life lost are decreasing in low-income countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. The objective will be to describe the regional prevalence of WMSD for different anatomical body areas and their risk factors in different health professions in the sub-Saharan African region. Method: We will search databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, AJOL, and Google Scholar for publications published between January 2002 and December 2022. The primary outcome will be the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among health professionals, and risk factors related to WRMSDs will be the secondary outcome. Three reviewers will screen all abstract data, full-text articles, and all citations independently. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) will be used to assess the quality of eligible publications. Subgroup analysis will be conducted to explore the potential heterogeneity (e.g., age, sample size, gender, and occupational activities). Publication bias and heterogeneity will be assessed and reported using the appropriate tools. Discussion: This systematic review and meta-analysis will provide a synthesis of the literature on work-related musculoskeletal disorders and their predictors among health professionals in the Sub-Saharan Africa region. The consensus of data from this review will provide a regional view to help occupational health-related policymakers, healthcare professionals, and program managers in developing countries gain a better understanding of the prevalence, causes, and trends to build better evidence-based occupational musculoskeletal health and disorders prevention programs among various health professionals. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO, CRD42023455517

“…7,17 WRMDs in nurses can cause a decrease in quality of life and performance which has an impact on burnout. 18,19 Previous studies have revealed that the high work mobility of nurses can cause pain in the feet and ankles, thus interfering with performance and quality of service. 3,[11][12][13] In addition, reports state that foot pain in 60% of women and 30% of men is caused by shoe use.…”

Background The mobilization characteristics of nurses’ work, such as standing, walking, and transferring patients for a long time, can increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Repetitive activities nurses perform can cause foot problems such as discomfort and insecurity, characterized by increased lactic acid levels. Anthropometric shoes are specifically designed to reduce complaints on nurses’ feet. Purpose This study aimed to determine the effect of individual anthropometric shoes on lactic acid levels in nurses at the hospital. Methods This study used a mixed-method study design. This study involved 71 nurses in the quantitative study and 15 nurses in the qualitative study. Nurses in Emergency Room, Central Surgical Installation, Inpatient Room, Intensive Care Unit, and Outpatient Installation were randomly selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The instruments used were the Accutrend Lactacyd tool, demographic questionnaire and interview questionnaire. Bivariate data analysis was using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and qualitative data analysis using thematic analysis. Results This mixed-method study shows that anthropometric shoes can reduce nurses’ lactic acid levels. In the quantitative study; there was a significant difference in lactic acid levels of nurses before and after using anthropometric shoes with the average results of measuring lactic acid levels, namely pre-test (22.48 mg/dL) and post-test (16.27 mg/dL), with a p-value (0.000). The qualitative study data revealed positive results related to increased nurse knowledge, positive views on the effect of shoes on nurse performance, and the impact of using anthropometric shoes in providing comfort and safety, such as decreased muscle fatigue and pain. Conclusion The findings of this study highlight the effect of individualized anthropometric shoes on lactic acid levels in nurses in Indonesian hospitals. It is essential to conduct further research and evaluate the results in a broader setting to ensure that anthropometric shoes can directly affect lactic acid levels.
