(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-02-18) Pazos Benavente, Yuliana Edith; Cárdenas de Fernández, María Hilda
In recent years, musculoskeletal diseases or disorders have been intensifying in workers and mainly in nurses, mainly due to lack of knowledge about adequate ergonomics and the correct use of preventive measures to carry out their activities in their work environment, it is for this reason that in this research work, the following general objective is proposed: "to determine if the level of knowledge about ergonomic risk is related to musculoskeletal disorders in surgical center nurses." The theories of knowledge of Immanuel Kant and the systems theory of Betty Neuman will be taken as a basis. The following methodology was used: a hypothetical - deductive method, with a quantitative approach, applied type and a non-experimental and cross-sectional design. The population is made up of 40 nursing professionals who work in the surgical center area, and two questionnaires will be used that will measure both variables, which are: Ergonomic Risk Knowledge Questionnaire and the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire to measure musculoskeletal disorders. , which are properly validated and trustworthy and reliable. The SPSS 25 program will be used to process the data and the hypothesis testing will be through the Spearman correlation system, which is the most appropriate due to the characteristics of both variables.
