Öz
Objective: In this study, it is aimed to investigate the musculoskeletal disorders of physiotherapists working in Diyarbakır and to determine the relationship between these problems and age, gender, working year, working hours, weekly working day and whether to exercise or not.
Method: This study was carried out with the participation of 99 physiotherapists working in various regions in Diyarbakır. NORDIC survey was used in the study. Participants were questioned for the presence of pain in the last twelve months for each part, the presence of pain in the last seven days, and the effect of pain on daily life. The datawas obtained by distribution and collection of the survey.
Results: Although 83.2% of theparticipants thought that their complaints such as pain, discomfort, and numbness were related to the work they were doing, 16.2% of them didn’t associate their complaints with their work. Based on the proportion of physiotherapists with and without pain according to body regions in the last 12 months, back pain was found in the 65.7% of the participants with the highest percentage. 59.6% low back pain, 57.6% neck pain, 53.5% hand -wrist pain and 52.5% shoulder pain were found in the participants respectively.
Conclusions: This study is a preliminary study for a larger participatory study in which the risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders can also be determined. The study shows that physiotherapists form a risk group in terms of musculoskeletal disorders. It has been determined that musculoskeletal problems in physiotherapists are related to BMI, gender, and doing or not doing exercise.
