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

Öz

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.
