One of the problems of employees in different occupations, especially employees in multiple wards of the hospital,is work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Evaluating the incidence of work-related musculoskeletal illnesses and associated variables among employees is crucial in light of the significance of this problem and staff health. Therefore, we evaluated the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among Ali-Ibn Abi-Talib Hospital’s staff in Rafsanjan city in 2019. In this study, 220 staff members (143 females and 77 males) entered the study in 2019 with personal consent, and to collect data, the demographic information questionnaire and Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used.The mean age of staff was 35.43 ± 8.08 including treatment staff (nurses-physicians) (46.8%,) administrative staff (33.6%), and service staff (drivers-workers) (19.6%). Additionally, 40% of all work-associated musculoskeletal diseases were connected to the neck region, 38% to the knees, 36%to the lower back, and 12% to the elbows, feet, and ankles, 16% to the thighs, and 24.1% to the back. The prevalence of disorders in some areas, such as the neck was high as in some studies. Therefore, it seems that the necessary planning should be done to prevent further occurrence of these disorders among hospital staff, which may lead to inefficiency.
