While managing the whole house and family she faces lot of physical and mental problems one such problem is musculoskeletal disorders. OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to find the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in housewives. METHODS: An observational study was carried out to find out the prevalence of Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among urban housewives(n=136) aged 25-55years by purposive sampling. Prevalence of pain, its association with activities of daily-living, acute and chronic pain and their self-awareness about pain were assessed using Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire(NMQ). Housewives of various areas of Ahmedabad were approached according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and asked various problems they faced during household work. RESULTS: The study analysis showed high prevalence of MSDs among housewives due to constant working in awkward positions, in ergonomically unfriendly surroundings, specially in weight-bearing areas like spine and knee followed lowback, wrist/hand, ankle/feet, elbow, upperback, hips/thighs and shoulder. CONCLUSION: Housewives face musculoskeletal disorders due to householdwork. This prevalence of MSDs in housewives can be used to understand the problems faced during house-holdwork, their cause by which in future an ergonomic protocol for housewives can be designed and address their problems in detail. |
