Aim Musculoskeletal pain (MSP) can be defined as a feeling of discomfort arising from bones, tendons, ligaments or muscles. MSP is more common in some healthcare professionals. Among healthcare professionals, physiotherapists are also at a higher risk for MSP. The aim of this study is to compare the MSPs of physiotherapists working with different patient types. Method Physiotherapists who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria participated in this study. Physiotherapists with rheumatic disease-causing MSP were excluded. Participants were contacted online between June-August 2020. MSP of the participants was evaluated with the Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorder Questionnaire. The statistical significance level was set as p<0.05. Results We recruited a total of 110 physiotherapists(26.2±3.1 age). While physiotherapists recruiting pediatric patients work in private institutions, orthopedic and neurological patients work in public institutions(p<0.001). Job satisfaction(p=0.011), neck area score(p=0.002), right wrist score(p=0.016), back score(p=0.011), low back score(p=0.014), right upper leg score(p=0.034) among physiotherapists who received different patient types scores were different. Conclusion Physiotherapists recruiting pediatric patient groups work in the private sector. Physiotherapists receiving orthopedic patient group have higher job satisfactionlevels. Physiotherapists in the neurological patient group had higher scores on the right wrist, back, lower back and right upper leg in work-related MSP. |
