Abstract

Background: Musculoskeletal injuries are noticeably high among the nursing fraternity, with lower back pain (LBP) being the most prevalent. Therefore, this study aimed to map evidence on the burden of occupational musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) among nurses in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Methods: This scoping review was guided by Arksey and O'Malley's framework. We conducted a comprehensive literature search with no date limit from the following databases: Science Direct, PubMed, Sabinet (SA ePublications), EBSCOhost platform, World Health Organization (WHO) Library, Google Scholar, SCOPUS, Taylor and Francis, and WorldCat Academic Search with full text for published studies. The search took place from May 2022 to December 2022. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was used for reporting the search results, and a thematic content analysis was used to present the emerging themes from the included studies.

Results: A total of 16,714 studies were identified after the database search. Only 29 studies met the inclusion criteria after full-article screening and were included for data extraction. The studies reported a total of 6343 participants from different regions in SSA. The 29 included studies showed evidence on the prevalence of MSD, associated risk factors of MSD and LBP among nurses in SSA with some recommendations on how to reduce the prevalence of MSD among nurses.

Conclusion: The study findings reveal that there is a high prevalence of MSD among nurses, especially LBP. The etiology of MSD among nurses is multifactorial, and multifaceted strategies to address MSD are recommended. Further research is recommended to explore strategies that can be used to curb the high prevalence of MSD among nurses.

撒哈拉以南非洲护士中与工作有关的肌肉骨骼疾病的分布情况:范围界定审查。
背景:在护士群体中,肌肉骨骼损伤的发病率明显较高,其中以腰背痛(LBP)最为普遍。因此,本研究旨在绘制撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)护士职业性肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD)负担的证据图:本次范围界定审查以 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的框架为指导。我们在以下数据库中进行了无日期限制的全面文献检索:Science Direct、PubMed、Sabinet (SA ePublications)、EBSCOhost 平台、世界卫生组织 (WHO) 图书馆、Google Scholar、SCOPUS、Taylor and Francis 和 WorldCat Academic Search(含已发表研究的全文)。检索时间为 2022 年 5 月至 2022 年 12 月。在报告检索结果时使用了系统综述和元分析首选报告项目(PRISMA),并使用了主题内容分析法来呈现所纳入研究的新主题:结果:经过数据库检索,共确定了 16714 项研究。经过全文筛选,只有 29 项研究符合纳入标准,并被纳入数据提取范围。这些研究共报告了来自撒哈拉以南非洲不同地区的 6343 名参与者。纳入的 29 项研究显示了 SSA 地区护士中 MSD 患病率、MSD 相关风险因素和 LBP 的证据,并就如何降低护士中 MSD 患病率提出了一些建议:研究结果表明,护士的 MSD 患病率很高,尤其是枸杞多糖症。护士 MSD 的病因是多因素的,建议采取多方面的策略来解决 MSD 问题。建议开展进一步研究,探索可用于遏制护士中 MSD 高流行率的策略。

期刊介绍: Systematic Reviews encompasses all aspects of the design, conduct and reporting of systematic reviews. The journal publishes high quality systematic review products including systematic review protocols, systematic reviews related to a very broad definition of health, rapid reviews, updates of already completed systematic reviews, and methods research related to the science of systematic reviews, such as decision modelling. At this time Systematic Reviews does not accept reviews of in vitro studies. The journal also aims to ensure that the results of all well-conducted systematic reviews are published, regardless of their outcome.
