    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-03-28) Beraun Arias, Roger Marco; Farías Vera, Javier
    The objective of this research was to determine whether there is a relationship between musculoskeletal pain and work posture in students from the dental clinic at Universidad Norbert Wiener, Lima 2018. It was a correlational, inductive, and cross-sectional study, with 81 students participating. The "Nordic Kuorinka" instrument was used to identify musculoskeletal pain symptoms, and the B.H.O.P (Balance Human Operating Position) was used to assess work posture. Data processing was done using the SPSS statistical software, version 24.0, and the Chi-square test of Pearson was applied for statistical analysis. The results showed that 85% of the students experienced musculoskeletal pain, while 15% did not. In terms of anatomical regions, the neck and back were where the most symptoms were reported. Regarding work posture, 90% of the students exhibited improper posture. According to postural verification (minimal cervical flexion, distance from the head to the working field of 30–35 cm, and the operator sitting with a straight back), these were the most common postural issues. The study concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between musculoskeletal pain and work posture in the neck and back areas among students.
