In healthcare, informed consent is a crucial process that involves thoroughly communicating medical treatment options to patients, including benefits, risks, potential side effects, and alternatives. This process enables patients to make well-informed decisions about their care, ensuring they understand the implications of their choices before consenting to or refusing treatment.
The legal responsibilities of a nurse regarding informed consent include the following:

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Nursing Research
  • Ergonomics

Background:

  • Workplaces present ergonomic hazards contributing to musculoskeletal problems.
  • Nurses are particularly vulnerable to these risks due to their demanding work.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate ergonomic risks and musculoskeletal disorders among nurses.
  • To identify factors contributing to these risks in the nursing profession.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study was conducted from January to May 2023 with 537 nurses.
  • Data collected via personal information form, ErgoEnf-TR, and Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ).

Main Results:

  • High mean scores were observed for biomechanical, environmental, and organizational/psychosocial factors.
  • Night shifts, inability to take breaks, poor body mechanics adherence, and lack of regular exercise correlated with higher ergonomic risk.
  • Common musculoskeletal disorders affected the lower back, back, neck, and shoulders.

Conclusions:

  • Individual and workplace factors increase nurses' risk of musculoskeletal problems.
  • Working style, rest, stress, body mechanics, exercise, and pain status influence ergonomic risk scores.
