Resumen

Objetivo: establecer la prevalencia, la intensidad y los factores de riesgo de dolor lumbar en quienes tienen como ocupación la práctica de la enfermería. Este grupo poblacional tiene exigencias importantes para el aparato locomotor en virtud de los requerimientos de su trabajo. Los desórdenes músculo-esqueléticos han sido reportados como una de las causas más importantes de lesión laboral en esta ocupación. Materiales y métodos: enfermeros profesionales y auxiliares trabajadores de dos hospitales de la ciudad de Manizales, Colombia, quienes diligenciaron una encuesta y fueron sometidos a valoración antropométrica y funcional. Resultados: en 233 sujetos con una edad promedio de 34±10,1 años se encontró una prevalencia de lumbalgia del 67,8% con valores de 75% y 66,8% para hombres y mujeres, respectivamente. Hombres y mujeres movilizaron pacientes 11,1±10,8 y 5,5±3,9 veces por día, respectivamente. Conclusión: los resultados del estudio demuestran que el dolor lumbar es una afección frecuente en la población de enfermeros profesionales y auxiliares de la ciudad de Manizales, sin que exista diferencia en la prevalencia en cuanto a sexo. A pesar de que los hombres realizan un mayor número de movilizaciones de pacientes por turno, no revelan una mayor prevalencia de este problema doloroso.
