Abstract

This study is to identify the related factors of musculoskeletal symptoms in university hospital workers. The subjects were 313 workers who were working at a university hospital. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, logistic regretion using the SPSS/PC 21.0 program. The results showed that 201 respondents(64.2%) had musculoskelectal pain. According to a survey of musculoskeletal pain in body parts, the shoulder was the most common region; 37% of the health-workers(116 respondents). Musculoskeletal pain are more common in health-workers under 35 years old or work more than 6 years, or have more physical burden. In conclusion, health-workers need more active health care such as planning a preventive activity and stretching during work in order to prevent the deterioration of musculoskeletal symptoms into diseases.

본 연구는 대학병원 보건의료인을 대상으로 직무 관련 요인들과 근골격계 증상간의 관련성을 살펴보았다. 연구대상은 대학병원 보건의료인 313명이며, 자료분석은 SPSS/PC 21.0을 이용하여 기술통계, 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 근골격계 통증을 호소하는 대상자는 201명(64.2%)였다. 신체 부위별 근골격계 통증에서는 어깨부위가 116명(37%)로 가장 많았다. 또한 35세 미만인 경우와 근무경력 6년 이상, 육체적 부담정도가 많을수록 근골격계 통증 호소율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 근골격계 증상이 질환으로 진행되지 않도록 예방하기 위해서는 직종과 근무경력에 따른 예방활동을 계획하거나, 업무 중에 수행할 수 있는 스트레칭 등의 중재와 지속적이고 적극적인 관리가 필요하다.
