Abstract
Objective To understand the prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases among nurses in operation rooms in China, and to provide reference for their treatment and prevention. Methods CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) , VIP (China Science and Technology Journal Database) , Wangfang Data Knowledge service platform, CMB disc (China Biology Medicine disc) , PubMed, Web of Science and other databases are searched by computer. The searching time is limited to the 31st of December 2017. Two researchers independently screened the literature according to the selected and excluded criteria. The authors, publishing time, total sample size, number of patients and morbidity of the literature were extracted. The quality of the selected literature was evaluated by the evaluation criteria of descriptive study of JBI Evidence-based Health Care Center in Australia. Meta analysis was performed by Stata 14.0 software. Results Totally 10 studies were retrieved, including 3 A Class and 7 B Class, and 2 374 samples were include. Results of Meta-analysis showed that the prevalence rate of musculoskeletal disorders in nurses in the operation room was 87% (95%CI: 83.0%-91.0%) . The prevalence of waist was the highest (73%, 95%CI: 68%-77%) , followed by neck prevalence (66%, 95%CI: 57%-76%) and shoulder joint morbidity (57%, 95%CI: 49%-66%) . The results of subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of musculoskeletal disease in operation room nurses increased with the age of nurses and working years. The prevalence rate in nurses working longer than 8 hours per day was 92% (95%CI: 89%-95%) , which was higher than that in nurses working less than 8 hours per day by 79% (95%CI: 72%-85%) . The prevalence rate of night shift nurses was 84%, (95%CI: 74%-93%) , which was significantly higher than that of nurses who did not work at night shift (95%CI: 50%-86%) . Conclusions The prevalence rate of musculoskeletal disease in operation room nurses in China is high. The morbidity of musculoskeletal diseases in waist, neck and shoulder is the highest. Older age, longer working years, daily nursing working hours and whether to take part in night shift work are the high risk factors.
