Opis:
BackgroundCold storage facilities are the most common workplaces that produce artificially cold work environments and are associated with different adverse effects on human health, work productivity and the occurrence of accidents and injuries. The aim of this study was to measure the antagonistic health effects on workers, so that common factors causing abnormal symptoms could be determined, and to gather basic information to monitor the associated health risks from the exposure to cold work environments.Material and MethodsA cross-sectional analytical study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of cold-related adverse health effects, musculoskeletal symptoms, skin problems, injuries, respiratory illnesses, general hygiene and occupational environment related to cold indoor workplaces, using the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire. A total of 200 subjects took part in this study, including 100 exposed and 100 unexposed to cold environments. A 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a t-test were applied to measure statistical differences and to differentiate the cases where variations occurred, using SPSS 16.ResultsThe study revealed that a longer and constant exposure to extremely cold indoor work environments significantly increased (p < 0.001) the cold-related symptoms and musculoskeletal disorders which ultimately reduced (p < 0.01) the efficiency, effectiveness, performance and work ability of the exposed workers.ConclusionsThe study disclosed various adverse cold-related complaints of the studied subjects who were exposed to extreme cold conditions during a maximum number of working hours. The most consistent problems were related to musculoskeletal discomfort, skin problems and respiratory abnormalities. Med Pr. 2020;71(1):1–7

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential association between occupational stress and musculoskeletal symptoms in firefighters. Material and Methods Data were collected among Cypriot firefighters through a battery of adapted questionnaires completed anonymously. Results A total of 430 firefighters (a response rate of 68%) completed the survey (the age range: 21–60 years). A total of 11% of firefighters reported moderate to extremely severe stress through the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale. A total of 40% of firefighters reported musculoskeletal symptoms, the most frequent being back pain. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models showed that occupational stress was associated with a 50% higher risk of musculoskeletal symptoms in firefighters after adjusting for age, smoking and obesity (OR = 1.52, p = 0.04). In addition, a positive dose-response relationship was found between occupational stress and musculoskeletal symptoms. Conclusions Occupational stress constitutes a significant risk for firefighters and is associated with higher prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms at work.

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) in nurses, and to explore the association of work style and physical exercise with WMSD in this professional group. Material and Methods In this study, a cross-sectional survey design was applied. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 692 nurses in 5 municipal hospitals, in the period August–October 2015. The survey included personal information, lifestyle, physical exercise and symptoms of WMSD. Chi² test and logistic regression were used to identify the risk factors of WMSD. Results The prevalence of WMSD was 84% in all parts of the body in the previous year, with the highest prevalence in the neck (68.2%), followed by waist (67.6%) and shoulder (54.6%). Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that physical exercise, night shifts and staying up late were associated with WMSD in nurses. The lack of exercise, night shifts and a tendency to stay up significantly increased the risk of WMSD (p < 0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among the municipal hospital nursing staff is high. An elevated risk of WMSD is observed in nurses who do not do exercises, work shifts and stay up late. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2019;32(1):15–24

Opis:
Wstęp Obciążenie fizyczne, ekspozycja na hałas oraz intensywny kontakt skóry z instrumentem muzycznym wynikające z pracy muzyka mają wpływ na rozwój dolegliwości układów mięśniowo-szkieletowego, słuchowego oraz skóry. Celem tego opracowania jest rozpoznanie problemów zdrowotnych związanych z grą na instrumencie w grupie polskich muzyków oraz wskazanie różnic w tym zakresie pomiędzy studentami a profesjonalistami. Materiał i metody W badaniu kwestionariuszowym udział wzięło 255 muzyków, którzy odpowiedzieli na zaproszenia do badania – 104 studentów oraz 151 aktywnych zawodowo muzyków posiadających wykształcenie muzyczne. Kobiety stanowiły 61% całej próby. Średnia wieku w badanej grupie wyniosła 31 lat, a średni staż gry na instrumencie – 23 lata. Wyniki Dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowe zaobserwowało u siebie 10–79% badanych muzyków (w zależności od lokalizacji objawów). Dolegliwości słuchowe (nadwrażliwość na dźwięki – 52%, pogorszenie słuchu – 43%, szumy uszne – 41%) i skórne (pogrubienia skóry – 69%, otarcia naskórka – 58%, reakcje alergiczne – 26%) występowały rzadziej i określane były jako mniej nasilone. Badani profesjonaliści opisywali swoje dolegliwości słuchowe (nadwrażliwość na dźwięki, pogorszenie słuchu oraz szumy uszne) jako istotnie intensywniejsze niż zgłaszali to studenci. Młodzi muzycy natomiast skarżyli się na bardziej dotkliwe otarcia naskórka w stosunku do podobnych objawów wskazywanych przez badanych profesjonalnych muzyków. Nie wykazano żadnych różnic dotyczących dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych pomiędzy studentami a profesjonalistami. Wnioski Zagrożenia dla zdrowia wynikające z gry na instrumencie przekładają się na relatywnie duże rozpowszechnienie dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych, ale także dolegliwości słuchowych i skórnych. Kluczowe są zatem poszukiwania czynników zwiększających ryzyko wystąpienia tych dolegliwości, a także skutecznych metod korekcyjnych i terapeutycznych. Med. Pr. 2018;69(4):383–394
Background Physical demands, exposure to noise and intense contact of skin with musical instruments – inevitable in musicians’ job – influence the development of musculoskeletal, hearing and skin problems. This paper aims at identifying playing-related health problems among Polish musicians and potential differences in this regard between students and professional musicians. Material and Methods This questionnaire study involved 255 musicians who volunteered to participate – 104 students and 151 professional musicians having music education. The study sample included 61% of women. Mean age of the participants equaled 31 years old, mean playing experience – 23 years old. Results From 10% to 79% (depending on the affected body part) of the studied musicians experienced musculoskeletal problems. Hearing (41% – tinnitus; 43% – hearing impairment and 52% – hyperacusis) and skin problems (69% – callosities, 58% – abrasions and 26% – allergic reactions) were reported less frequently and were assessed as less severe than musculoskeletal symptoms. The studied professionals assessed their hearing problems (hyperacusis, hearing impairment and tinnitus) as significantly more severe than reported by students. Young musicians, in turn, experienced more severe abrasions than the studied professional musicians. We found no significant differences between students and professionals as regards their musculoskeletal problems. Conclusions Playing-related health risks translate into relatively high prevalence of musculoskeletal as well as hearing and skin problems among musicians. Hence, it is essential for future studies to search for risk factors for these health problems as well as effective corrective and therapeutic measures. Med Pr 2018;69(4):383–394

Opis:
The study was carried out to identify the prevalence and pattern of work related musculoskeletal disorders among blacksmiths in Kurmi market, Kano state. A total of 138 blacksmiths were recruited out of which only 133 were able to fill the questionnaire properly. Data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency, percentages, tables, and charts, using SPSS version 15. Result obtained showed that there is high prevalence of work related musculoskeletal disorders among the studied population (43.3%), in which shoulder region is the most frequent area of affectation in 39.6% of the total symptoms reported. The predominant risk factors were high repetitive motion (85.7%), prolonged sitting (95.5%), and greater number of working hours i.e 5-8 hours for most days in 34.6% of the total population. Among the entire study population (n=133); only 30 ever attended hospital to seek for medical attention against their symptoms/complaints, out of which only 15 were seen by a physiotherapist. Also 7 out of the total study population ever absent themselves from work secondary to their symptoms. It was concluded that there is a high prevalence of WMSDs among blacksmiths. The upper extremity region of the body is more affected than lower extremities. Increasing age, weight and working for long hours or days were major risk factors to developing WMSDs.

Opis:
Aim of the study: Owing to its wide availability, relatively low cost and lack of negative effect on the patient, ultrasound has become the most commonly and readily used imaging modality. However, scanning for increasingly long periods of time on a given day and in a given week tends to negatively affect sonographers’ health, primarily resulting with the overuse of the musculoskeletal system, as multiple muscles and joints are engaged during scanning. This research has been aimed at evaluating the prevalence and type of musculoskeletal symptoms among diagnostic medical sonographers, as well as identifying their professional profile. Material and method: The study covered 553 sonographers who responded to an online survey comprising 27 questions, including branching questions allowing to provide more detailed information depending on the answers given, as well as open questions. The survey was geared towards identifying the type and frequency of the experienced symptoms, and determining additional contributing factors. Results: 83% of the respondents have experienced work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD). The study presents the detailed characteristics of the symptoms experienced by sonographers in their work, and their professional profile. Conclusions: A majority of physicians performing ultrasound experience musculoskeletal pain. Deeper analysis of the underlying causes and potential correlations with given contributing factors (variables) that could be effectively addressed may facilitate introduction of some preventive measures and occupational hygiene rules in the field of ultrasound diagnostics, as well as help to implement interventions aimed at relieving the experienced symptoms and improving the health of the examining specialists.
Cel pracy: Badania ultrasonograficzne, dzięki łatwej dostępności, stosunkowo niskim kosztom i brakowi obciążeń dla pacjentów, są obecnie najbardziej powszechną metodą diagnostyki obrazowej. Wykonywanie badań ultrasonograficznych w coraz większym wymiarze godzin może jednak mieć niekorzystny wpływ na zdrowie samych badających, prowadząc przede wszystkim do przeciążenia narządu ruchu, poprzez powtarzające się zaangażowanie szeregu mięśni i stawów. Celem pracy była ocena częstości występowania i rodzaju dolegliwości z zakresu układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego u diagnostów wykonujących badania ultrasonograficzne. Dodatkowo określono profil zawodowy tych lekarzy. Materiał i metoda: Grupę badaną stanowiło 553 lekarzy zajmujących się diagnostyką ultrasonograficzną. Za pomocą ankiety internetowej przygotowano zestaw złożony z 27 pytań, w tym pytań rozgałęzionych, umożliwiających rozszerzenie kwestionariusza w zależności od udzielonych odpowiedzi, oraz pytań otwartych. Ankieta miała na celu scharakteryzowanie rodzaju i częstości występowania dolegliwości oraz określenie dodatkowych czynników mogących mieć wpływ na ich pojawienie się. Wyniki: Wśród respondentów ankiety 83% lekarzy doświadczyło dolegliwości narządu ruchu związanych z wykonywaniem badań ultrasonograficznych. W pracy przedstawiono dokładną charakterystykę dolegliwości i profil zawodowy lekarzy zajmujących się diagnostyką ultrasonograficzną. Wnioski: Dolegliwości układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego dotyczą większości lekarzy wykonujących badania ultrasonograficzne. Dokładne poznanie przyczyn i ewentualnych zależności od czynników, które da się zmodyfikować, może pozwolić zarówno na opracowanie zasad profilaktyki oraz higieny pracy w badaniach ultrasonograficznych, jak i na wdrożenie programów naprawczych mogących przynieść ulgę i poprawę stanu zdrowia badających.

Opis:
The skydiving/parachuting sport which has recently gained popularity is also known for its accidents and injuries. However, there are a few studies related to its occupational ergonomic risks and occupational musculoskeletal diseases. It has been reported that the sudden hyperextension of the neck during the parachute opening, so called opening shock results in neck pain. It has been found that the jumpers are subjected to an average deceleration of 3–5 times the earth’s gravitational acceleration (3–5 G) during parachute opening shock. It is considered that the spinal cord is destabilized by the impact of this force. This study presents the occupational cervical disc herniation occurring in the case of a subject who has been working as a skydiving/parachuting instructor for 25 years, and the ergonomic risks specific to the sports of skydiving. There is a requirement for systematic and representative studies related to the administrative measures to be taken in order to prevent the occupational diseases that may occur in the case of skydivers, the personal protective equipment to be used, and the employee.

Objectives Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common nerve entrapment syndrome, which since the beginning of the seventies has been linked to the keyboard and visual display unit (VDU). The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and personal factors associated with CTS in female VDU workers in Italy. Material and Methods Participants in this study were female adult subjects, working ≥ 20 h/week (N = 631, mean age 38.14±7.81 years, mean working age 12.9±7.24 years). Signs and symptoms were collected during compulsory occupational medical surveillance. The binary logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios for the factors of interest. Results Diagnosis of CTS was reported in 48 cases (7.6%, 11 of them or 1.7% after a surgical correction) for the incidence of 5.94/1000 person-years. In general, signs and symptoms of CTS were associated with the following demographic factors: previous trauma of upper limb (adjusted odds ratio (ORa) = 8.093, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.347–27.904), history (> 5 years) of oral contraceptives therapy/hormone replacement therapy (ORa = 3.77, 95% CI: 1.701–8.354) and cervical spine signs/symptoms (ORa = 4.565, 95% CI: 2.281–9.136). Conclusions The prevalence of CTS was similar to the estimates for the general population of Italy. Among personal risk factors, hormone therapy, previous trauma of the upper limb and signs/symptoms of the cervical spine appeared to be associated with a higher risk of CTS syndrome. Eventually, the results reinforce interpretation of CTS in VDU workers as a work-related musculoskeletal disorder rather than a classical occupational disease.

Opis:
Occupational tasks of linemen are highly associated with the development of work related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMDs). Although linemen are prone to develop WRMDs, there is paucity of information on the prevalence of WRMDs and related occupational causative factors. Therefore, the present review was conducted to report on the prevalence of WRMDs and to outline causative risk factors within occupational tasks in the lineman profession. Literature search was conducted in various databases such as Scopus, PubMed and ScienceDirect for articles published between 1996–2013. The articles were analyzed, selected and retrieved based on predetermined objectives, inclusion criteria and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). In the review process only articles published in English were considered. The review identified moderate to high prevalence of WRMDs among the linemen population. Back and shoulder regions were highly affected compared to the other body regions. The review also reported occupational tasks such as bar installation, insulator fixation and manual handling of tools as high risk tasks that lead to the development of WRMDs. In addition, occupational tools such as ladders, manual cutters and manual presses were also identified as a potential ergonomic hazard. In conclusion, the current review identified that WRMDs are common in the back and shoulder regions among linemen. Also, a number of occupational risk factors were identified to be associated with WRMDs among the linemen. Hence, future research on prevention and intervention studies concerning lineman profession population in order to develop a good job practice are recommended.

Background Epidemiological studies have shown that employees working with visual display units (VDU) are more likely to complain about musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The aim of this study has been to evaluate associations among MSDs and individuals and work-related factors. Material and Methods A total of 1032 VDU workers were assessed about their personal (i.e., age, working history, smoking history, physical activity) and work-related factors (i.e., predominant job tasks performed, work posture). Work environment was evaluated regarding fulfillment of the standard ISO 9241-5:1998. The investigation required a direct observation of participants (in order to accurately assess the prevalence of MSDs) and workstations. Adjusted odds ratios (ORa) were calculated by means of the logistic regression model. Results Prevalence of MSDs was relatively high (53%). In general, MSDs were significantly associated with female sex (OR = 2.832, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.178–3.683), age ≥ 50 years old (OR = 2.231, 95% CI: 1.236–4.026), longer exposure to VDU, both as working history (10–14 years: OR = 1.934, 95% CI: 1.301–2.875; ≥ 15 years: OR = 2.223, 95% CI: 1.510–3.271) and working time (30–39 h/week: OR = 1.537, 95% CI: 1.087–2.273). Inappropriate workstation design was confirmed by the multivariate analysis as a risk factor for MSDs (ORa = 2.375, 95% CI: 1.124–5.018). Conclusions Musculoskeletal disorders were significantly associated with individual factors as well as characteristics of work environment. An appropriate design of workstations may significantly reduce their prevalence amongst VDU workers. Med Pr 2016;67(6):707–719
Wstęp Badania epidemiologiczne wykazały, że osoby pracujące przy monitorach ekranowych (visual display units – VDU) częściej skarżą się na zaburzenia mięśniowo-szkieletowe (musculoskeletal disorders – MSDs). Celem badania była ocena związku między MSDs a cechami indywidualnymi pracowników i czynnikami związanymi z pracą. Materiał i metody Badanie przeprowadzono wśród 1032 osób używających VDU w pracy. Zebrano dane dotyczące cech indywidualnych badanych (wiek, staż pracy, historia palenia, aktywność fizyczna) i czynników związanych z wykonywaną pracą (najczęstsze czynności, pozycja ciała). Oceniono też zgodność środowiska pracy z normą ISO 9241-5:1998. W celu dokładnej analizy występowania MSDs przeprowadzono bezpośrednią obserwację osób badanych i ich stanowisk pracy. Skorygowane ilorazy szans (adjusted odds ratios – ORa) obliczono z zastosowaniem modelu regresji logistycznej. Wyniki Częstość występowania MSDs była stosunkowo wysoka (53%). Zaobserwowano statystycznie istotną zależność między MSDs a płcią żeńską (OR = 2,832, 95% przedział ufności (confidence interval – CI): 2,178–3,683), wiekiem powyżej 50 lat (OR = 2,231, 95% CI: 1,236–4,026) i dłuższym narażeniem na VDU – zarówno w wyniku dłuższego stażu pracy (10–14 lat: OR = 1,934, 95% CI: 1,301–2,875; ≥ 15 lat: OR = 2,223, 95% CI: 1,510–3,271), jak i większego wymiaru czasu pracy (30–39 godz./tydzień: OR = 1,537, 95% CI: 1,087–2,273). Analiza wieloczynnikowa potwierdziła, że nieodpowiednio zorganizowane stanowisko pracy jest czynnikiem ryzyka MSDs (ORa = 2,375, 95% CI: 1,124–5,018). Wnioski Występowanie zaburzeń mięśniowo-szkieletowych jest istotnie związane z indywidualnymi cechami pracownika i właściwościami środowiska pracy. Odpowiednio zorganizowane stanowiska pracy mogą znacznie zmniejszyć częstość występowania MSDs u osób pracujących przy VDU. Med. Pr. 2016;67(6):707–719

Opis:
Healthcare workers, especially those with direct patient contact are amongst professions with the highest rate of workrelated musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), physical therapists (PTs) being one of them. Our objective was to review current knowledge relating to the prevalence, risk factors and prevention of WMSDs among PTs. Pubmed, Google Scholar and PEDro databases were searched for terms relating to WMSDs in PTs from inception to 2015. The prevalence of WMSDs among PTs was high, with lifetime prevalence reported as 55–91%, and 12-month prevalence ranges 40–91.3%, and the lower back as the most frequently affected, with estimates of a lifetime prevalence ranging 26–79.6%, and a 12-month prevalence ranging 22–73.1%, followed most often by the neck, upper back and shoulders. The major risk factors for workrelated low back pain (LBP) were: lifting, transferring, repetitive movements, awkward and static postures, physical load, treating a large number of patients in a single day and working while injured. Low back pain seems to be age- and genderrelated with a higher prevalence in females, younger PTs and PTs working in rehabilitation settings. Physical therapists, as a consequence of work-related LBP, may seek treatment, modify their daily living and leisure (lifestyle) activities, use aids and equipment or change their specialty area either within the profession or by leaving it. Skills and knowledge as to correct body mechanics do not prevent work-related injuries. Mechanical aids used for a patient transfer should be adopted by PTs and new strategies should be developed to reduce their WMSDs without compromising the quality of treatment.

Background Health professions like dentistry, nursing and physical therapy have been reported at high risk for developing workrelated musculoskeletal disorders. Results of studies conducted in these occupational groups may help formulate prevention strategies. However, no such data among physical therapists has been reported in India. Material and Methods We conducted an online survey among 100 physiotherapists in Delhi. Results The response rate was 75%. The prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders is found to be high since 92% of them reported to feel some pain after joining physical therapy which affects daily activities and even sometimes forces them to change their work. Physical therapists specialty, gender, furniture used in clinic and duration of patient contact are found to be related to the pain development (p < 0.05). Conclusions We need to emphasize the role of ergonomics and techniques of patient handling in development of work-related pain symptoms. Med Pr 2015;66(4):459–469
Wstęp Zawody medyczne, takie jak stomatologia, pielęgniarstwo i fizjoterapia, są zaliczane do grupy wysokiego ryzyka wystąpienia zaburzeń układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego związanych z pracą. Wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w tych grupach zawodowych mogą pomóc w sformułowaniu strategii zapobiegania, jednak nie opracowano ich dla fizjoterapeutów w Indiach. Materiał i metody Przeprowadzono badanie kwestionariuszowe wśród 100 fizjoterapeutów w Delhi. Wyniki W badaniu wzięło udział 75% respondentów. Aż 92% z nich wskazywało na występowanie zaburzeń układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego związanych z pracą po rozpoczęciu pracy w zawodzie fizykoterapeuty. Wpływają one na codzienne czynności, czasem nawet zmuszając respondentów do zmiany pracy. Specjalność zawodowa fizjoterapeuty, płeć, rodzaj mebli używanych w pracy i czas kontaktu z pacjentem są związane z rozwojem bólu (p < 0,05). Wnioski Należy podkreślić rolę ergonomii i technik stosowanych w pracy z pacjentem w rozwoju dolegliwości bólowych związanych z pracą. Med. Pr. 2015;66(4):459–469

Opis:
Cardiovascular disorders (CVDs) constitute a major burden for health of working populations throughout the world with as much as 50% of all causes of death and at least 25% of work disability. There are some changes in CVD risk factors among occupational classes. This is mainly due to the new types of work-related causes of morbidity associated with the recent developments in global work life, particularly in the industrialized countries. Meanwhile, in the developing countries or those in transition (e.g., in Eastern Europe), CVD mortality is increasing due to major socioeconomic changes, the demographic transition and rapid industrialisation and urbanisation, all leading to growing challenges to cardiovascular health. Better control of known risk factors (i.e., smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high blood glucose) is effective to prevent CVD incidence. But the expected improvement has not been achieved. The obstacles of achieving such impact are due to lack of awareness, lack of policies and their implementation into practice and shortage of infrastructures and human resources. These are needed for wide-scale and long-term programme implementation. Considering the WHO Global Strategy on Occupational Health for All, the WHO Global Action Plan on Workers’ Health, the WHO Programme on Prevention of Non-communicable Diseases and the ILO Decent Work agenda, the 6th ICOH International Conference on Work Environment and Cardiovascular Diseases adopted the Tokyo Declaration.

Objective. This study assessed the association between worker characteristics, workplace factors, and workrelated musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in Nigeria’s construction industry. Methods. A cross-sectional site-by-site survey was conducted in 5 existing construction companies in Uyo, Nigeria. The subjects (n = 1200 males), aged 18–55 years, filled in the semistructured Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire and the job content questionnaire on demographics, work and lifestyle characteristics, and workplace risk factors for WMSDs. Results. The overall prevalence of WMSDs was 39.25%. Differences in age, race, weight, body mass index (BMI), education status, and employment status were significantly associated with the prevalence of WMSDs. Prevalence according to trade was as follows: ironworkers highest at 49% and administrative staff lowest at 31%. Ironworkers (55.7%), administrative staff (53.3%), and security staff (38.7%) scored higher on physical, psychosocial, and individual risk factors, respectively. Workplace factors with increased odds for WMSDs were psychological demands and mental workload, age, BMI, low work experience, low education status, awkward movement of head and arms, working against force or vibration, fast work pace, and race. Conclusion. The recorded high prevalence was multifactorial in etiology; hence, multi-intervention strategies are required.

Opis:
Physical therapists engage in work tasks that expose them to occupational risk factors related to musculoskeletal disorders. Due to the gap in the literature on instruments focused on those workers, this study adapted a job factors questionnaire to physical therapists, and assessed its psychometric properties. The questionnaire was adapted and its content validity was established. The psychometric properties were evaluated among 142 physical therapists. Reliability was verified using the temporal-stability design and internal consistency. Construct validity was assessed with the known-groups technique. Test–retest results demonstrated intraclass correlation coefficients between .82 and .90 (p < .001). Cronbach’s α of .91 verified the reliability of the questionnaire. The known-groups technique demonstrated a statistically significant difference on the scores of the items when physical therapists were compared to office workers. The results indicated that the adapted questionnaire had acceptable psychometric properties for assessing problematic job factors among physical therapists working in hospitals.
