Ergonomic risk factors for musculoskeletal injuries in healthcare staff in the intensive care unit
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017) Brandán Carreño, Silvia Karen; Marrufo Marrufo, María Milagros; Avila Vargas Machuca, Jeannette Giselle
Objective: To identify the ergonomic risk factors for musculoskeletal injuries in healthcare personnel working in intensive care units. Methodology: This is a systematic review design, with a search for full-text articles that were subjected to critical reading before selection, using the hierarchy of scientific knowledge and the GRADE system to determine their level of evidence. Twelve national and international articles were selected. Of the articles reviewed, 58.3% were systematic reviews, 25% were cross-sectional studies, 8.3% were correlational studies, and 8.3% were descriptive studies. Results: Of the total articles reviewed, 8 articles, representing 66.6%, demonstrated that patient load handling, repetitive movements, forced postures, and adopting uncomfortable positions are associated with the presence of musculoskeletal injuries. 16.7% of the reviewed articles attribute the risk factor to psychosocial factors and female gender, which influence the occurrence of these injuries. 16.7% mention that workload is related to the presence of musculoskeletal injuries. Conclusion: The main ergonomic risk factors for musculoskeletal injuries in healthcare personnel in intensive care units are: patient load handling, repetitive tasks, forced postures, uncomfortable positions, psychosocial factors, female gender, and workload.

Ergonomic risks and musculoskeletal alterations in nursing professionals in the sterilization center of anoncological clinic in Lima Centro, 2024
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-06-23) Yataco Ortíz, Vivien Lisbet; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa Maria
The objective will be "To determine how ergonomic risks are related to musculoskeletal disorders in Nursing Professionals in the Sterilization Center." The method employed for this study will be a quantitative, hypothetical-deductive, applied, non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional study. The sample size will consist of 80 nursing professionals working in the Sterilization Center of an Oncological Clinic in Central Lima. A validated questionnaire with a certain level of reliability for both variables will be applied to them. The results will be processed using SPSS V28 in two stages: first, descriptive statistics will be used to conduct a respective analysis, expressing frequencies in tables and graphs in histograms. Second, inferential statistics will be applied to test the proposed hypotheses. Initially, a normality test will be performed to identify whether the data distribution is normal or non-normal. If the data are non-normal, Spearman's Rho will be used, while Pearson's test will be employed for normally distributed data.

Ergonomic risks related to occupational low back pain in nurses working in the Surgical Center at the Daniel Alcides Carrión Hospital, 2014.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2014) Guizado Ramos, Maria Milagros; Zamora Córdova, Karin; Borda Izquierdo, Alejandro
Objective: To determine the relationship between ergonomic risks and occupational low back pain in nurses working in the surgical center of the Daniel Alcides Carrión Hospital in 2014. Material and Methods: This research is applied to the field of health, of a descriptive-correlational type, cross-sectional, and non-experimental. The sampling was non-probabilistic and intentional. The sample consisted of 33 nurses: permanent (72.7%) and contract (27.3%), with ages ranging from 23 to 33 years (69.7%). Results: With a probability of p: (0.02), a “moderate positive correlation” (Spearman's Rho 0.517) was found between ergonomic risks (prolonged forced postures (0.718) and body movements (0.649)), both showing a high positive correlation with occupational low back pain in the acute dimension. The risks of weight-force (0.619), body movements (0.603), and prolonged forced postures (0.436) showed a “moderate positive correlation” with subacute low back pain. Body posture (0.055) and weight-force (0.158) showed a “low positive correlation” and did not demonstrate a higher level of relationship with chronic low back pain. Conclusion: Ergonomic risks are related to occupational low back pain with a moderate positive correlation.
