Abstract

This study evaluated the complaint rates of musculoskeletal symptoms and investigated the related factors of musculoskeletal symptoms among nurses in a university hospital. For 249 nurses working at the ward, we used the self-administered questionnaires to examine sociodemographic, health related factors, job-related, subjective musculoskeletal symptoms designed by NIOSH. during the period from Aug. 1st to Aug. 31st, 2010. As a results, one and more of musculoskeletal symptoms was 66.3%, and two and more of that was 45.8%. The complaint rates of musculoskeletal symptoms were 44.2% in the shoulders, 33.7% in the low back, 33.3% in the legs/feet, 29.7% in the neck, 14.9% in the hands/wrists/fingers, 4.8% in the arms/elbows. For the age adjusted odds ratio for the musculoskeletal symptoms of neck, shoulders, low back and legs/feet, the groups who are shift work, staff nurse, who reported that their subjective health status are not good, and whose physical burden of works are hard were increased than their respective counterparts. In conclusion, the complaint rates of musculoskeletal symptoms was differently revealed by variable factors such as sociodemographic, health related factors and job-related factors.

본 연구는 간호사들의 근골격계 자각증상을 파악하고, 인구사회학적 특성, 건강행태 및 직업관련 특성과의 관련성을 규명하고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 대전광역시의 한 대학병원의 병동근무 간호사 249명으로 하였으며, 조사는 2010년 8월 1일부터 8월 31일까지의 기간에 자기기입식 설문조사(self administration questionnaire)를 실시하였다. 연구결과 근골격계증상이 1개 이상 있는 경우는 66.3% 2개 이상 있는 경우는 45.8%를 차지하고 있었으며, 신체부위별 호소율은 어깨 44.2%, 허리 33.7%, 다리/발 33.3%, 목 29.7%, 손/손목/손가락 14.9%, 팔/팔꿈치 4.8%의 순위였다. 연령을 보정한 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 목, 어깨, 허리, 다리/발 부위 증상의 위험비는 주관적 건강 상태가 좋다는 군보다 좋지 않다는 군, 교대근무를 하지 않는 군보다 한다는 군, 책임/수간호사 군보다 평간호사 군. 업무에 대한 육체적 부담정도가 견딜만하다는 군보다 힘들다는 군에서 유의하게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 근골격계 자각증상은 개인의 인구사회학적 특성이나 건강상태 및 직업관련 특성에 따라 호소율이 다르게 나타남을 시사하고 있다.
