چکیده

مقدمه: مسئولیت‌های متعدد استادان، قبل و بعد از پاندمی کووید-19 ممکن است منجر به بروز دردهای عضلانی اسکلتی در آن‌ها شود. این مطالعه با هدف تعیین فراوانی و مقایسه درد عضلانی اسکلتی در استادان دانشگاه علوم پزشکی قبل و بعد از پاندمی کووید-19 انجام شد.
مواد و روش‌ها: مطالعه مقطعی روی 300 نفر از استادان از اردیبهشت 1400 تا اردیبهشت 1401 انجام شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از مقیاس عددی و چک لیست عضلانی اسکلتی درد قبل و بعد از پاندمی کووید جمع‌آوری شدند.
یافته‌ها: نتایج مطالعه نشان داد قبل از پاندمی کووید-19، 84/7 درصد و بعد از آن 87/7 درصد از استادان، دچار درد عضلانی اسکلتی حداقل در یک قسمت از بدن، و قبل و بعد از پاندمی به ترتیب 59/6 و 56 درصد از افراد در دو یا سه ناحیه از نواحی اسکلتی عضلانی دچار احساس درد بودند، اما نکته قابل توجه این بود که افراد بعد از پاندمی در چهار ناحیه درد بیشتری  داشتند (0/001>P). یافته ها حاکی از این بود که  شدت کمردرد و درد ناحیه خاجی و شدت درد گردن، کتف و شانه و فراوانی درد بینی و تیغه آن، مچ دست، زانو و فک بعد از پاندمی به‌طور معنی‌داری افزایش یافته بود (0/001>P).
نتیجه‌گیری: نتایج مطالعه گویای افزایش شدت و فراوانی دردهای عضلانی اسکلتی در مقایسه قبل و بعد از پاندمی کووید-19 در میان استادان دانشگاه‌های علوم پزشکی سراسر کشور بود.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: The multitude of responsibilities faced by faculty members, both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, may potentially lead to musculoskeletal pain. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and compare musculoskeletal pain among faculty members of medical universities before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 professors from April 2021 to April 2022. Data were collected using a numerical scale and a checklist of musculoskeletal pain before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Results: The study results showed that before the COVID-19 pandemic, 7.84% of the professors experienced musculoskeletal pain in at least one part of their bodies, and before the pandemic, 6.59% and 5.6% of individuals had experienced pain in two or three regions of the musculoskeletal areas, respectively. However, a noteworthy point was that after the pandemic, individuals had more pain in four regions. The findings indicated a significant increase in the intensity of lower back pain, hip pain, and pain in the neck, shoulder, and nose and its blade, as well as the frequency of wrist, knee, and jaw pain after the pandemic (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The study results indicate an increase in the intensity and frequency of musculoskeletal pain when comparing before and after the COVID-19 pandemic among professors in medical universities nationwide.
