Abstract
This study was to conducted to examine the associations between job stress and musculoskeletal symptoms of child care teachers. Questionnaires were administered to 132 child care teachers and the responses were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. The average total job stress was 2.80. Based on NOISH criteria, musculoskeletal symptoms were prevalent in 46.2% of the participants. The musculoskeletal symptoms by body part appeared mostly on the shoulder (25.8%), followed by the lower back (18.9%), hands/wrist/fingers (17.4%), neck (11.4%), legs/feet (9.1%), and arms/elbows (7.6%). The positive symptom group showed higher levels of total job stress, work overload, and relationship with school parents stress scores than then the symptom free group. Musculoskeletal symptoms were significantly associated with job stress, work overload, and relationship with school parents stress. Overall, the results of this study indicate that it is necessary to develop strategies for reducing job stress to prevent musculoskeletal symptoms.
