What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the connection between healthcare professionals' ergonomic awareness and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders. Participants will complete an online survey that collects demographic information and assesses their ergonomic knowledge. The study will utilize the Nordic musculoskeletal disorders questionnaire to evaluate participants' musculoskeletal health, alongside the Maslach Burnout Scale to assess occupational burnout and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire to examine sleep quality. The findings could provide insights into how improving ergonomic knowledge may reduce health issues among healthcare workers.
