Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the MAPO index of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among ward nurses who manually handled patients, and to explore the influencing factors of WMSDs in the workplace.Methods:From March to May 2019, convenience sampling method was used to select 317 nurses from 26 wards of a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital. The General Information Questionnaire, MAPO index assessment, and the meter ruler were used to comprehensively evaluate the situation of WMSDs in the workplace of nurses who manually handled patients inwards with the method of on-site investigation and measurement. According to the score of the MAPO index, there were 3 risk levels of wards, namely red light, yellow light, and green light. The yellow light meant that it was necessary to implement the medium-term and long-term intervention plan, and the red light meant that the short-term intervention plan must be implemented. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of WMSDs in nurses who manually handled patients in the ward.Results:A total of 317 questionnaires were distributed and 265 valid questionnaires were returned with an effective response rate of 83.6%. In the 265 ward nurses, there were 76.2% (202/265) of nurses with WMSDs. There were 13 (50.0%, 13/26) wards with red lights, including 158 (59.6%, 158/265) nurses, and 6 (23.1%, 6/26) wards with yellow lights, including 92 (34.7%, 92/265) nurses, and 7 (26.9%, 7/26) wards with green lights, including 15 (5.7%, 15/265) nurses. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that MAPO index and the ward score were the influencing factors for the occurrence of WMSDs among ward nurses with statistical differences ( OR=1.056, 1.571; P<0.05) . Conclusions:The risk of WMSDs in the workplace of ward nurses is high. It is recommended starting with the types of beds, bed spacing, auxiliary equipment, nursing human resource allocation, and occupational protection training to reduce the occurrence of WMSDs in nurses.
