Musculoskeletal health is an important component of physical health. It was aimed to assess the musculoskeletal system involvement, fatigue, and quality of life among caregivers of various patient groups in this study. The study comprised 55 caregivers, consisting of 37 female and 18 male, with an average age of 41.24±12.25 years. The individuals’ musculoskeletal, neck, and low back pains, musculoskeletal discomfort, posture, spinal functionality, low back disability, neck disability, fatigue, and quality of life were assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale, Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire, New York Posture Rating Scale, Spine Functional Index, Oswestry Disability Index, Bournemouth Questionnaire, Fatigue Severity Scale, and Short Form-36 questionnaires, respectively. All parameters evaluated were similar among caregivers of orthopedic, pediatric, and neurological patients (p>0.05). Significant correlations were observed among the parameters of musculoskeletal pain, neck pain, low back pain, musculoskeletal discomfort, posture, spinal functionality, neck and low back disability and fatigue severity in individuals (from -0.267 to 0.754). Additionally, significant correlations were found between the subscales of SF-36 and these parameters, ranging from -0.273 to 0.754. The musculoskeletal system is affected in all caregivers, and caregivers across different patient groups exhibit similar effects.

Kas-iskelet sağlığı, fiziksel sağlığın önemli bir bileşenidir. Bu çalışmada çeşitli hasta gruplarının bakımverenlerinde kas-iskelet sistemi katılımını, yorgunluk ve yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek amaçlandı. Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 41,24±12,25 yıl olan 37 kadın ve 18 erkekten oluşan toplam 55 bakımveren dahil edilmiştir. Bireylerin kas-iskelet, boyun ve bel ağrıları, kas-iskelet rahatsızlığı, postür, omurga fonksiyonelliği, bel sakatlığı, boyun sakatlığı, yorgunluk ve yaşam kalitesi sırasıyla Sayısal Derecelendirme Ölçeği, Cornell Kas-İskelet Rahatsızlığı Anketi, New York Postür Derecelendirme Ölçeği, Omurga Fonksiyon İndeksi, Oswestry Sakatlık İndeksi, Bournemouth Anketi, Yorgunluk Şiddeti Ölçeği ve Kısa Form-36 anketleri kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Değerlendirilen tüm parametreler, ortopedik, pediatrik ve nörolojik hastaların bakımverenleri arasında benzerdi (p>0,05). Bireylerde kas-iskelet ağrısı, boyun ağrısı, bel ağrısı, kas-iskelet rahatsızlığı, postür, omurga fonksiyonelliği, boyun ve bel sakatlığı ve yorgunluk şiddeti parametreleri arasında anlamlı korelasyonlar gözlendi (-0,267 ila 0,754 aralığında). Ayrıca, Kısa Form-36 alt ölçekleri ile bu parametreler arasında -0,273 ila 0,754 aralığında anlamlı korelasyonlar bulundu. Kas-iskelet sistemi tüm bakımverenlerde etkilenmiştir ve farklı hasta gruplarının bakımverenleri benzer etkiler sergilemektedir.
