Year 2024, Volume: 12 Issue: 2, 43 - 50, 07.05.2024

Abstract

Amaç: Arıcılar çalışırken kas-iskelet rahatsızlıkları riski altındadır, ancak bu alanda araştırma azdır. Bu çalışma, arıcıların fiziksel ve çevresel mesleki maruziyetlerini ve kas-iskelet bozukluklarının yaygınlığını değerlendirmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma en az bir yıldır aktif olarak arıcılık yapan 123 erkek birey ile yürütülmüştür. Arıcılara demografik ve mesleki soruları içeren bir anket uygulandı. Arıcılar, Nordic Kas-iskelet Anketi'ne ve Hızlı Maruziyet Değerlendirme'den arıcılık faaliyetiyle ilgili sorulara yanıt verdiler. Sonuçlar: Arıcıların ortalama yaşı 45,4±12,3'tür. Bu çalışma, gezici arıcıların sabit arıcılara kıyasla daha fazla sayıda zorlu koşullarla karşılaştığını ortaya koymuştur (p<0,05). Arıcıların %90,2'sinin vücudunun en az bir bölgesinde işle ilgili kas-iskelet sistemi rahatsızlığı vardı. Bel bölgesi son 1 yıl içinde en çok etkilenen (%81,3) ve herhangi bir aktiviteyi sınırlayan (%48,8) vücut bölgelerinden ilk sırada gelmekteydi. Tartışma: Arıcılarda işle ilgili kas-iskelet sistemi bozukluklarının görülme sıklığı yüksekti. Çalışma koşullarının iyileştirilmesi, stresin ve çevresel sağlık tehlikelerinin önlenmesi, fiziksel egzersizin arttırılması ve uygun postürün sürdürülmesi işle ilgili kas-iskelet sistemi sorunlarını azaltabilir.

Physical and Environmental Work Exposures and Prevalence of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Beekeepers: A Descriptive Study

Year 2024, Volume: 12 Issue: 2, 43 - 50, 07.05.2024

Abstract

Purpose: Beekeepers are at risk of musculoskeletal disorders while working, though research is scarce in this field. This study assessed beekeepers' physical and environmental occupational exposure and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders. Material and Methods: The study was conducted with 123 male individuals who had been actively beekeeping for a minimum of one year. Beekeepers were administered a survey that included demographic and occupational questions. Beekeepers responded to the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and questions related to beekeeping activity from the Quick Exposure Check. Results: The mean age of the beekeepers was 45.4±12.3 years. The present study revealed that migratory beekeepers encountered a greater number of demanding circumstances in comparison to stationary beekeepers (p<0.05). Of the beekeepers, 90.2% had work-related musculoskeletal disorders in at least one body part. The lower back was in the first localization among the body parts that were most affected (81.3%) and limiting any activity (48.8%) in the last 1 year. Discussion: Beekeepers had a high incidence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Improving working circumstances, avoiding stress and environmental health hazards, boosting physical exercise, and maintaining appropriate posture may reduce work-related musculoskeletal problems.
