Abstract(s)
Background: Nurses have a lifestyle who can condition their well-being, which can
be a health promoting factor or contribute to the appearance of diseases. There are
many nurses who are overweight, have high levels of stress, sleep disorders, sedentary
lifestyle, and other conditions that may affect your health, increasing the risk of
developing musculoskeletal injuries. These injuries have an incalculable problem in
decreasing productivity, absenteeism and the quality of life of the professional.
Objective: To identify nurses´ lifestyles and analyze how the lifestyles are related
with the presence of musculoskeletal complaints on these professionals.
Methodology: This is a quantitative, descriptive and correlational study carried out at
a Hospital in north of Portugal. The sampling technique used was non-probabilistic
for convenience, obtaining a sample of 260 nurses. As a data collection instrument,
the questionnaire was used.
Results: Most professionals (65,1%) presented a prevalence of complaints at the
level of the musculoskeletal system in the last 12 months. These adopt a mostly
healthy diet and relate to the surrounding community. However, the practice of
physical activity and stress management falls short of what can be understood as the
adoption of a healthy lifestyle.
Conclusion: These results point to the need to develop new studies and a program
that sensitizes nurses to improve their lifestyle in order to reduce musculoskeletal
complaints.
