简要总结
Most studies investigating the risk factors related with musculoskeletal pain have been conducted in European countries and North America, and because of the difference in health, economic, and social systems, their results are not generalizable to countries such as Turkey. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the individual and work-related risk factors linked to musculoskeletal pain among Turkish office workers.
详细描述
A total of 150 participants, who are office workers in Turkey, are included in the present study. Data collection will be carried out using the online survey. The online survey link will be shared via social media accounts and via mail. The questionnaire created through Google forms will be delivered to the participants via the link. The link will be active in the data collection process. Before the participants start the questionnaire, they will be asked whether they were willing to participate. The socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, body mass index) and health status (presence of chronic disease, drugs used and history of injury) will be questioned. In addition, the information about the sector, working hours, time spent at work and out of work, additional working hours, break times at the workplace will be collected. The Standardized Scandinavian Musculoskeletal Questionnaire will be used to assess musculoskeletal complaints. Participants with musculoskeletal pain will be referred to the assessment questionnaire appropriate for the localization of the region where they feel the most pain. Participants with neck pain will be evaluated with the Neck Disability Scale. Arm-Shoulder-Hand Disability Survey-Short Form will be used for participants with wrist, shoulder or arm pain. Oswestry Disability Index will be used to determine the degree of disability in individuals with low back pain.

主要结局
The Standardized Scandinavian Musculoskeletal Questionnaire
时间窗: Baseline
The Standardized Scandinavian Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) will be used to assess musculoskeletal complaints. NMQ is a questionnaire that evaluates wrist, neck, shoulder and general musculoskeletal complaints with standardized questions. In NMQ; pain and discomfort are questioned in the last 12 months and the last seven days, the mapping of the body in specific nine regions (feet-ankles, knees, thighs, hips, ankles, hands, waist, elbows, back, shoulders, neck) and whether this situation interferes with the usual work. At the end of the NMQ, the participants are encountered by the question of "Do you have any pain related to the musculoskeletal system? and Which region is the most painful?" Surveys of participants who do not feel any pain due to the musculoskeletal system were completed.
