Abstract

Background: High prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is one of the serious problems of today's society, especially in the working class, and has a high prevalence in healthcare community staff, according to some studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in specialty residents of different fields and years in School of Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2016. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 400 residents from all specialty fields in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences were randomly selected. Musculoskeletal disorders of the auxiliaries were assessed using self-administered standard Nordic questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Findings: There was a significant difference in presence of pain during the last week between the specialty residents of different fields (P < 0.001). The presence of pain during the last week was more prevalent among the specialty residents of urology (90.0%), internal medicine (87.2%), neurology (86.2%), ophthalmology (81.3%), orthopedic surgery (80.0%), pathology (72.2%), and anesthesiology (71.4%) than the other fields. There was no significant difference between the specialty residents of different years according to the pain location (P > 0.050). Conclusion: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among the specialty residents in different years is similar; but in some fields that have more shift works and physical activity, pain may be more prevalent than the other fields. © 2018, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS).
