Calidad de vida profesional y trastornos musculoesqueléticos en profesionales de Enfermería / Quality of professional life and musculoskeletal disorders in nurses

OBJETIVO: Caracterizar las condiciones de calidad de vida laboral, la presencia de trastornos musculoesqueléticos y la asociación entre dichas variables en personal de enfermería de un hospital público de Zacatecas, México. MÉTODO: Se diseñó un estudio transversal con alcance descriptivo correlacional. Se utilizó un muestreo aleatorizado estratificado por turno laboral en 107 casos. Se aplicó el cuestionario de Calidad de Vida Profesional (CVP-35), el Cuestionario Nórdico Estandarizado para dolor musculoesquelético y el Cuestionario de Factores de Riesgo Relacionados con el Trabajo. RESULTADOS: La calidad de vida laboral obtuvo una media de 55,62 (DE=13,57), siendo la motivación intrínseca el componente mejor evaluado (M=75,06, DE=18,44), contrario al apoyo directivo que obtuvo las puntuaciones más bajas (M=43,74, DE=21,71). La presencia de factores de riesgo dentro del trabajo para el desarrollo de problemas musculoesqueléticos obtuvieron una media de 50,10 (DE=26,69). Los principales trastornos musculoesqueléticos se presentaron en la región del cuello, columna lumbar y rodillas con un 42,1% para cada uno. La calidad de vida laboral disminuyó ante la presencia de problemas musculoesqueléticos en la región lumbar (-0,188, p≤0,050), dorsal (-0,206, p≤0,050), cuello (-0,175, p≤0,050) y rodillas (-0,220, p≤0,010). CONCLUSIONES: Es necesario mejorar las condiciones laborales de los profesionales de enfermería para reducir la presencia de problemas musculoesqueléticos y así mejorar su calidad de vida laboral

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the conditions of quality of working life, the presence of muscle- skeletal disorders and the association between these variables in nursing staff of a public hospital in Zacatecas, Mexico. METHOD: A cross-sectional study with descriptive-correlational scope was designed. A stratified random sampling per shift was used in 107 cases. The Questionnaire Professional Quality of Life (CVP-35) was applied as well as the Nordic Questionnaire Standardized for musculoskeletal pain and work-related risk factors questionnaire. RESULTS: The quality of working life gained an average of 55.62 (SD = 13.57), the intrinsic motivation was the best rated component with (M = 75.06, SD = 18.44), contrary to managerial support that got the lowest scores with (M = 43.74, SD = 21.71). The presence of risk factors in the development work of musculoskeletal problems obtained a mean of 50.10 (SD = 26.69). The main musculoskeletal disorders occurred in the neck region, lumbar spine and knees with 42.1% for each one. The quality of working life decreased in the presence of muscle-skeletal problems in the lumbar region with (-0.188, p ≤.050), dorsal (-0.206, p ≤.050), neck (-0.175, p ≤.050) and knees (-0.220, p ≤.010). CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to improve the working conditions of nurses to reduce the presence of musculoskeletal problems and improve their quality of working life
