ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The impact of work-related tasks with potential biomechanical overload on the musculoskeletal system represents an essential socio-economical challenge.OBJECTIVE:
This scoping review aimed to map the current literature to identify musculoskeletal disorders and diseases among healthcare professionals and define the approaches used to assess these problems.METHODS:
The analysis was developed according to the JBI methodologies for scoping reviews and reported following the PRISMA-ScR framework.RESULTS:
We conducted specific searches on online databases; of the 357 articles initially identified, only 118 met the inclusion criteria.CONCLUSIONS:
Despite some discrepancies in their unambiguous identification, the presence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in healthcare professionals is unequivocal. On the other hand, using technology as a supporting evaluation tool still needs to be explored. Furthermore, several improvements are required to enhance the quality of work and simplify the analysis across studies.
