Tóm tắt

Tóm tắt Thông tin nền

Các nhà vật lý trị liệu (PTs) thường xuyên phải đối mặt với những rối loạn cơ xương khớp liên quan đến công việc (WMSDs). Có rất ít bằng chứng về tỷ lệ mắc những chấn thương này và các yếu tố nguy cơ tiềm ẩn ở các nhà vật lý trị liệu Ai Cập. Nghiên cứu này nhằm ước tính tỷ lệ WMSDs trong số các PT Ai Cập cũng như các yếu tố nguy cơ tiềm ẩn và các chiến lược đối phó của nhà trị liệu. Hơn nữa, nghiên cứu đã điều tra mối liên hệ giữa WMSDs và các yếu tố kinh tế xã hội.

Kết quả

Ba trăm tám mươi lăm người tham gia đủ điều kiện đã hoàn thành cuộc khảo sát. Tỷ lệ mắc WMSDs là 99,5%. Năm vùng cơ thể bị ảnh hưởng nhiều nhất là lưng dưới (69,1%), cổ (65,7%), vai (47,7%), cổ tay/tay (39,1%) và lưng trên (37,0%). Các nhà trị liệu đánh giá các tư thế không thoải mái và việc xử lý bệnh nhân nặng là những yếu tố dễ dẫn đến chấn thương nhất. Về các chiến lược đối phó, việc tìm kiếm sự giúp đỡ không chính thức từ đồng nghiệp để điều trị các triệu chứng liên quan đến chấn thương và thay đổi tư thế của các nhà trị liệu và bệnh nhân trong quá trình làm việc được các PT sử dụng nhiều nhất. Tổng quan, tỷ lệ chấn thương ở các nữ nhà trị liệu cao hơn so với nam (Cramer’s V < 0,5, p ≤ 0,05); ngoại trừ lưng trên ( p > 0,05). Trình độ học vấn và làm việc tại nhiều cơ sở đồng thời (các phòng khám công và tư) có mối liên hệ đáng kể với việc gặp chấn thương ở lưng trên ( V = 0,14, p = 0,049 và V = 0,178, p = 0,002, tương ứng) và cổ ( V = 0,16, p = 0,019 và V = 0,142, p = 0,020, tương ứng). WMSDs không có mối liên quan đến kinh nghiệm hoặc chuyên môn của các nhà trị liệu ( p > 0,05).

Kết luận

Các chấn thương WMSDs ở các nhà trị liệu vật lý là phổ biến ở Ai Cập, đặc biệt là ở nữ, những nhà trị liệu có trình độ học vấn thấp hơn, và những người làm việc tại nhiều cơ sở đồng thời.
