The Effect of the Pandemic Process on the Musculoskeletal System

Abstract

This research; It was carried out to determine the effect of desk work, which has become widespread during the Covid-19 pandemic process, on the musculoskeletal system in individuals aged 18 and over. The research was carried out between 23-31 March 2021 by means of the data collection form prepared on the online platform and with the participation of 1050 people. 53.7% of the participants, whose rate of female individuals is 65.5% in terms of gender, is between the ages of 18-24.27.6% of female individuals and 42.4% of male individuals pay attention to sitting position while working at a desk. In terms of gender, musculoskeletal pain increased significantly when compared to pre-pandemic and post-pandemic periods (p<0.05). Although 53.2% of the participants declared that musculoskeletal pain negatively affects their daily lives, only 14.1% of the participants applied to a health institution due to their pain. In the Covid-19 pandemic process, in which we are experiencing a social isolation process in the name of health, it has been determined that musculoskeletal pain in individuals has increased compared to the pre-pandemic period due to the length of hours spent at the desk and inattentive sitting positions.
