Repercusión de las posturas forzadas sobre el sistema musculoesquelético del personal de enfermería, pertenecientes al distrito de salud 18d04 de la provincia de Tungurahua

Forced positions are those in which one or more parts of the body are in positions that are not naturally comfortable, leading to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), primarily affecting the spine, arms, and legs, thereby reducing work performance. Objective: to determine the impact of forced postures on the musculoskeletal system of nursing staff belonging to health district 18D04 in the province of Tungurahua. Methods: descriptive correlational mixed study with a cross-sectional design. The Nordic questionnaire was applied, and the correlation between variables was determined using the Pearson correlation coefficient in the SPSS software. Data processing was performed in Microsoft Office Excel. Results: the main inappropriate postures included: leaning or twisting the trunk, with bent knees and unbalanced weight, and arms above the shoulders. The most affected area was the dorsolumbar region, lasting more than a month in the last year, with episodes ranging from mild to severe, caused by repetitive movements and load handling. Additionally, due to these ergonomic risks, MSDs such as: dorsalgia, lumbalgia, disc herniation, rotator cuff tendinitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome could develop, necessitating rehabilitation. Conclusions: MSDs are a significant concern for nursing staff due to the physical nature of their work, making coordinated and collaborative action essential through prevention and treatment programs that can reduce their prevalence and improve both their quality of life and patient care.
