| Introduction: It is obvious that every professional worker is known as a
n active agent in
production and productivity. Therefore; employers consider specifica
lly the health of their staff
and creating a suitable space in agreement with their physic
al and psychological characteristics.
Librarianship is also among those professions. However; there
should be more evidence in
order to shed light on the importance of the ergonomic factors
for all library managers and
policy makers and moreover; make the staff both reach self-awa
reness and take the right action
about the health of their career. The very aim of this study i
s to find out whether librarians’
health is affected by the ergonomic factors or no?
Methods: This is a descriptive survey study. Musculoskeletal disorde
rs were studied using a
questionnaire and checklist designed based on NAYUSH and USHA st
andards. The
questionnaire was composed of two parts: the first part included que
stions about demographic
information and the second part included questions related to muscul
oskeletal disorders based on
the Nordic questionnaire. The data were collected and analyzed usi
ng SPSS software, and the
results were obtained.
Results: The study indicated that librarians’ health is affec
ted by ergonomic factors. 52.6% of
the staff had some kinds of musculoskeletal symptoms and disorders.
The greatest complications
were on neck and back discomfort caused by working with improper working tools.
Conclusion: Despite the population being young, the incidence of complicati
ons was high and
there was a meaningful relationship between increasing work expe
rience and the incidence of
experiencing musculoskeletal symptoms
.
Moreover; the working factors that affected different
parts of the body were found mostly in the neck and back regions. |
