Risk of Skeletal Muscle Injury in Nurses: Contributions of Photovoice
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
One of the nurse’s main occupational health problems are the Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMD). There are specific risks related to the nursing activity, as well as individual, psychosocial and organizational risks. Objectives: To analyze the perception of master's students about the risk of musculoskeletal injuries related to work in their clinical practice. Methods: Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study using Photovoice as a method of investigating participatory action based on the understanding of students' experiences. The content analysis followed the steps defined by Bardin and was supported by the webQDA® software; Results: The participants are 6 students from the Biomechanical Curricular Unit in the care of the Specialist Nurse, Maternal Health and Obstetrics. Of the 185 enumeration units obtained, 119 correspond to physical risk factors, 38 to psychosocial and organizational factors and 28 to individual risk factors. They know the principles of biomechanics, but they identify difficulties in their use in view of the emergence and nature of professional activity. Conclusions. We emphasize the inappropriate use of spaces and equipment in view of the individual characteristics that contribute to the risk of professionals in the work context, aggravated by the pandemic situation. The use of Photovoice as a method of data collection was essential, as it made it possible to access the perspective of participants on their risk factors for WRMD and promote a more active role in its prevention.
