Purpose: The purposes of this study were to identify musculoskeletal symptoms and to investigate factors associated with musculoskeletal symptoms in small and medium sized hospital nurses.
Methods: The data were collected from 206 nurses working in Jeonnam. We used self administration questionnaires of KOSHA GUIDE H-9-2012 for musculoskeletal symptoms, PWI-SF for psychosocial stress, KOSS for job stress, and HPLP-II for health behaviors. The collected data were analyzed using the x2, t-test, and logistic regression analysis in SPSS Ver. 23.0.
Results: Sixty-six percent of the subjects had musculoskeletal symptoms. The shoulder had the highest symptom at 38.3%, followed by lower back at 32.5%, and neck at 29.1%. The mean and standard deviation score of psychosocial stress were 24.06±6.01, those of job stress were 2.38±0.23, and those of health behaviors were 2.14±0.39. The items that were significantly different according to musculoskeletal symptoms were career (x2=6.67, p<.036), one week overtime (x2=7.27, p<.026), subjective health status (x2=4.29, p<.038), and psychosocial stress (x2=7.99, p<.010). In logistic regression analysis, career, and psychosocial stress were found to affect musculoskeltal symptoms.
Conclusion: It is necessary to conduct preventive intervention to reduce musculoskeletal symptoms according to career and psychosocial stress for small and medium sized hospital nurses.
