背景
在世界卫生组织宣布COVID-19大流行后，许多公共部门的人都转向远程工作，包括教师。这可能导致该组发生背痛。该研究的目的是评估一组教师在因COVID-19大流行而引入远程学习之前和之后的背痛。
材料和方法
该研究基于在线诊断调查，包括来自波兰16个省的361名教师和大学讲师。为了评估疼痛强度，使用数字评定量表（NRS）。使用IBM SPSS Statistics 26和Microsoft Excel 2021进行统计分析。统计学显著性水平采用p < 0.05的水平。
结果
在接受调查的教师中，在COVID-19大流行后，颈椎和腰椎疼痛的平均程度显著增加（p < 0.001）。颈痛申报程度的平均值从大流行前的2.49±2.81增加到大流行期间的5.44±1.83。疫情前，NRS的平均腰痛强度为2. 81 ± 2. 73，而引入远程工作后为5. 53 ± 2. 20。
结论
背痛的发生与宣布COVID-19大流行后教师群体的工作性质发生变化有关。自从引入远程教育以来，教师的背痛强度在统计上显著增加。根据在电脑前花费的时间，研究组中声称背痛的平均程度在统计学上显著增加。有必要设定物理预防的目标，并在一组教师中引入计算机工作人体工程学领域的教育。医学期刊2021;72（6）。
BACKGROUND
Following the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic by the WHO, many people in the public sector have switched to remote work, including teachers. This could have contributed to the occurrence of back pain in this group. The aim of the study was to assess back pain in a group of teachers before and after the introduction of distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The study was based upon an online diagnostic survey and included 361 teachers and university lecturers from 16 provinces of Poland. In order to assess the intensity of pain, a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was used. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 and Microsoft Excel 2021. The level of statistical significance was adopted on the level p < 0.05.
RESULTS
Among the surveyed teachers, the mean degree of declared cervical and lumbar spine pain increased significantly after the COVID-19 pandemic (p < 0.001). The mean value of the declared degree of cervical pain increased from 2.49±2.81 before the pandemic to 5.44±1.83 during the pandemic. Before the pandemic, the mean low back pain intensity was 2.81±2.73 on the NRS, while after the introduction of remote working, it was 5.53±2.20.
CONCLUSIONS
There is a relationship between the occurrence of back pain and the change in the nature of work in the group of teachers in connection with the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic. There has been a statistically significant increase in teachers' back pain intensity since the introduction of distance learning. Depending on the number of hours spent at the computer, the average degree of the declared back pain in the study group increased statistically significantly. There is a need to set the goals of physioprophylaxis and introduce education in the field of ergonomics of computer work in a group of teachers. Med Pr. 2021;72(6).
