新型冠状病毒疫情持续凸显医护专业人员对职业健康及安全的需求。由针刺伤害、压力、感染和化学危害造成的身心健康安全是护士（包括在智障部门工作的护士）优先考虑的与工作有关的肌肉骨骼疾病。智力残疾单位为已知有智力残疾的患者提供基本护理，如学习，解决问题和判断问题，这些问题需要各种身体活动。然而，单位内护士的安全很少受到关注。因此，我们采用了定量横断面流行病学调查设计，以确定在南非林波波省选定的医院的智力残疾单位工作的护士与工作有关的肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率。自填式问卷收集资料，从69个随机选择的护士从智力残疾单位。数据提取、编码并以MS Excel格式（2016）采集，并导入到IBM社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）软件版本25.0中进行分析。该研究报告了智力残疾单位中肌肉骨骼疾病的低患病率（38%），对护理和人员配备产生了重大影响。这些WMSD的影响包括错过工作，干扰日常生活，干扰下班后的睡眠模式，以及缺勤。由于智障病人完全依赖护士的基本日常生活活动，本文建议在智障病房的护士中纳入物理治疗，以治疗下背痛的发生率，同时减轻护士错过工作或缺勤。
The COVID-19 pandemic continuously highlights the need for occupational health and safety among healthcare professionals. Physical and mental health safety resulting from needle prick injuries, stress, infections, and chemical hazards are priority work-related musculoskeletal disorders for nurses, including those working in the intellectual disability unit. The intellectual disability unit provides basic nursing care to patients with known mental disabilities, such as learning, problem-solving, and judgment problems, which demand diverse physical activities. Nevertheless, the safety of nurses within the unit receives little attention. Thus, we adopted a quantitative cross-sectional epidemiological survey design to determine the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders amongst nurses working in the intellectual disability unit at the selected hospital in Limpopo Province, South Africa. A self-administered questionnaire collected data from 69 randomly selected nurses from the intellectual disability unit. Data were extracted, coded, and captured in MS Excel format (2016) and imported into the IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), software version 25.0, for analysis. The study reported a low (38%) prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in the intellectual disability unit, with significant effects on nursing care and staffing. The effects of these WMSDs included missing work, interference with the daily routine, disturbance with sleeping patterns after work, and absenteeism from work. Since intellectually disabled patients depend entirely on nurses for the basic activities of daily living, this paper recommends the incorporation of physiotherapy among nurses in the intellectual disability unit to treat the incidence of lower back pain while mitigating nurses missing work or absenteeism.
