Methods In this cross-sectional study were studied 400 nurses by census method from Amol hospitals. In order to collect information and to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders using the modified Nordic questionnaire and study Yip. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the respective risk predictors: The risk predictors for knee pain were Not Exercising (OR = 2.4 (95% CI 1.4 – 3.8), p = 0.001) and Help the patient to go to the toilet [OR = 0.85 (95% CI 0.73 – 0.98), p = 0.030]. For wrist pain, walking in section >= 2hrs [OR = 4.5 (95% CI 1.8 – 11.3), p = 0.002]. For neck pain, Female [OR = 3.0 (95% CI 1.6- 5.6), p = 0.001], Exercise [OR = 1.9 (95% CI 1.1 – 3.2), p = 0.014], Move the patient between bed and chair [OR = 0.83 (95% CI 0.73 – 0.95), p = 0.006], Displacing the Section Tools [OR = 1.05 (1.001 – 1.1), p = 0.044], Raise hands above the shoulder [OR = 1.05 (95% CI 1.01 – 1.08), p = 0.009] and Sitting in section ≥ 2 hours [OR = 2.0 (95% CI 1.01 – 3.9), p = 0.048. For shoulder pain, exercise [OR = 1.8 (95% CI 1.1 – 3.1), p = 0.024], Help the patient to go to the bathroom [OR = 0.84 (95% CI 0.71 – 0.98) p = 0.026] and Displacing the Section Tools [OR = 1.1 (95% CI 1.06 – 1.2) p < 0.001] Help the patient to sit down on the bed [OR = 1.1 (95% CI 1.02 – 1.2), p = 0.010] and Lifting more than 5 kg weight [OR = 0.92 (95% CI 0.87 – 0.98), p = 0.005]. Conclusion Musculoskeletal disorders is one of the most serious problems in the nursing profession that is associated with several factors such as bending, transfer patients, move the equipment ward, helping patients to the bathroom and pick up Pick up the anything, So it can be effective in reducing complications by modifying risk factors and Educating to the nurses for using the assistive devices in the ward.
