Karaçi Koleji Öğretmenleri Arasında İşe Bağlı Kas-İskelet Sistemi Bozukluklarının Sıklığı

Abstract

Araştırmada Karaçi kolej öğretmenleri arasında işle ilgili kas-iskelet sistemi bozukluklarının prevalansının belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Bu çalışma kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Karaçi kolejlerinden öğretmenler rastgele seçilmiştir. Veriler Ocak 2018 ile Haziran 2018 arasında toplanmıştır. Her iki cinsiyetten kolej öğretmenlerini uygun örneklemeyle seçtik. Araştırmaya katılan öğretmenler öğretimde yaklaşık bir yıllık iş tecrübesine sahipti. İşe bağlı kas-iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarını belirlemek için İskandinav Anketi kullanılmıştır. Anketler 400 ara sınıf öğretmenine gönderilmiş ve toplam 342 öğretmen anket formunu doldurmuş ve geri göndermiştir. İstatistiksel analiz, SPSS 21 sürümü ile yapıldı. Öğretmenler işe başladığı zaman işe bağlı ağrının en yüksek prevalansı boyun, omuz, bel ve dizlerde olduğu bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların% 50'si boyunlarını bükülme pozisyonunda tuttuklarına ve kara tahta kullanırken omuzlarının yüksek olduğuna cevap verdi. Bu çalışmanın sonucu, öğretmenlerin en çok boyun, omuz, bel ve diz bölgelerinin etkilendiği sonucuna varıldı. Ergonomik kuralların kullanılması sorunu hafifletmeye yardımcı olabilir.
