The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in prehospital emergency health services personnel and the extent to which their quality of life is affected, to raise awareness and to provide scientific data to take necessary measures. The population of the study was the personnel working in 112 emergency health services in Balıkesir province (n=721). The working tempo of 112 emergency healthcare personnel is very intense due to the Covid-19 pandemic during the period of the study. For this reason, in order to increase the sampling power in the study, the minimum required sample was calculated with the G-Power sampling calculation program, and by entering the values of 0.05 margin of error for p significance level, power (1-β) 0.90 (90%), and moderate effect size as effect size, it was calculated that a total of 172 people should be studied for two group comparisons and 150-190 people for 3-6 group comparisons and this number was reached The factors affecting the musculoskeletal disorders of the participants were found to be gender, job, physical treatment or surgery, sports and income status; while the factors affecting the quality of life were found to be gender, age, marital status, job, working time, physical treatment or surgery, sports, chronic disease and income status.It was found that pain experienced in different parts of the body significantly affected quality of life and there was a positive relationship between quality of life and pain.

Hastane Öncesi Acil Sağlık Çalışanlarının Kas İskelet Sistemi Rahatsızlıklarının Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, hastane öncesi acil sağlık hizmetleri (HÖASH) çalışanlarının kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları (KİSR) prevelansı ve yaşam kalitelerinin ne kadar etkilendiği tespit edilerek bir farkındalık yaratılması ve gerekli önlemlerin alınmasında bilimsel veri sağlanması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın evreni Balıkesir ili 112 acil sağlık hizmetlerinde çalışan personeldir (n=721). 112 acil sağlık hizmet sunan personelin çalışma temposu çalışmanın yapıldığı dönemde yaşanan Covid-19 pandemisi sebebiyle çok yoğundur. Bu nedenle çalışmada örneklem gücünü arttırmak için G-Power örneklem hesaplama programı ile minimum alınması gereken örneklem hesabı yapılmış ve p anlamlılık düzeyi için 0,05 hata payı, güç (1-β) 0,90 (%90), etki büyüklüğü olarak orta düzeyde etki büyüklüğü değerleri girilerek iki grup karşılaştırması için toplam 172 kişi, 3-6 grup karşılaştırması için 150-190 kişi ile çalışılması gerekliliği hesaplanmış ve bu sayıya ulaşılmıştır. Katılımcıların KİSR’larını etkileyen faktörlerin cinsiyet, görev, fiziksel tedavi veya ameliyat olma, spor ve gelir durumu; yaşam kalitesini etkileyen faktörler ise cinsiyet, yaş, medeni durum, görev, çalışma süresi, fiziksel tedavi veya ameliyat olma, spor, kronik hastalık ve gelir durumu olarak bulunmuştur. Vücudun farklı bölgelerinde yaşanan ağrının yaşam kalitesini ciddi ölçüde etkilediği ve yaşam kalitesi ile ağrının pozitif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur.
