Özet
This study aims to examine the relationship between physiotherapists' working posture and pain, body awareness level, chronic fatigue, and depression levels and to determine whether these parameters depend on the institution where they work. 93 randomly selected physiotherapists between the ages of 24-52 were divided into two groups according to their institutions: Rehabilitation centers/hospitals. Working posture was evaluated with the Ovako Working Posture Analysing System (OWAS), pain was evaluated with the Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ-E) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), body awareness level was evaluated with the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ), chronic fatigue was evaluated with the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Self Assessment Form (CFS), depression level was evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). A relationship was found between OWAS-leg posture and NMQ-E-ankle pain (r=-0.238), between OWAS-back posture-arm posture-action class and VAS (r1=0.25; r2=-0.27; r3=0.23), and between OWAS-back posture-action class and BDI (r1=0.25; r2=0.26) (p<0.05). However, a significant difference was found only between the OWAS-back posture-action class and BDI results of physiotherapists working in different fields (p<0.05). It was observed that the working posture of physiotherapists affected the level of pain and depression and that physiotherapists working in rehabilitation centers had higher levels of depression and used more challenging back postures. © 2024, Inonu University.
