| More Details: | Introducción: El dolor lumbar tiene un alto impacto en la calidad de vida del personal de enfermería dada la elevada prevalencia, que oscila entre 53,9- 87%, encontrada en diferentes estudios.Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de dolor lumbar y su relación con los factores de riesgo biomecánico en el personal de enfermería de una entidad de salud de cuarto nivel en Bogotá.Metodología: Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal con exploración analítica. Se tomó una muestra aleatoria de 265 individuos, estratificada por servicio de atención, a quienes se les aplicó un cuestionario en línea sobre las características individuales y labora- les de riesgo biomecánico, con preguntas seleccionadas de Ergopar y Cuestionario Nórdico.Resultados: La prevalencia de dolor lumbar fue 61,1%. Los factores de riesgo biomecánico asociados fueron: posturas que implican girar y/o inclinar espalda y/o tronco (pConclusiones: La prevalencia de dolor lumbar en personal de enfermería es alta y coincide con los estudios realizados a nivel nacional e internacional. La prevalencia por servicios y jornada laboral no presentaron asociación significativa. La exposición a factores de riesgo biomecánico se relacionan entre otros con la estimación del dolor lumbar en el personal de enfermería afectando su calidad de vida. NURSES LOW BACK PAIN PREVALENCE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH ASSOCIATED BIOMECHANICAL RISK FACTORS DURING 2014-2015ABSTRACTBackground: Low back pain in nurses have a high impact in their quality-of-life due to its high prevalence, observed in between 53,9-87% of cases according to different studies, and produced by occupational requirements.Objective: To determine low back pain prevalence and its relationship to the associated biomechanical risk factors in a nurse population from a fourth level health institution in Bogotá.Methodology: A cross-sectional study with analytic exploration was performed. A random sample of 265 individuals stratified by allocation service was extracted. They were administered an online questionnaire about individual, labor and biomechanical risk characteristics. We selected some items of the Ergopar questionnaire and Nordic questionnaire to develop the final instrument.Results: Nurse’s low back pain prevalence was 61,1%. The associated biomechanical risk factors: were: positions involving spinning turning and/or tilting of the back or trunk (pConclusions: The nurse’s low back pain prevalence is very high and concords with other studies performed by national and international authorities. The prevalence distributed by services and workday assigned were not significative correlated. Exposure to biomechanical risk factors associated to the presence of low back pain in nurses, affect their quality of life. |
