| Abstract | To determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in Norwegian nurses’ aides and how it varies with demographic factors, number of working hours per week, and service sector.A random sample of nurses’ aides, represented by the Norwegian Union of Health and Social Workers, was mailed a questionnaire in 1999. The 6,485 vocationally active respondents who were not on leave because of illness or pregnancy comprised the sample of the present study.The prevalence (previous 14 days) of musculoskeletal pain was 88.8% [95% confidence interval (CI) 88.0–89.6%]. The prevalence of intense musculoskeletal pain was 51.1% (CI 49.9–52.3%). The prevalence of widespread pain was 26.6% (CI 25.5–27.7%). The prevalence of pain in the extremities increased with increasing age, whereas the prevalence of headache decreased with increasing age. Neck, shoulder, elbow, high back, and hip pains were more prevalent in women than in men. The prevalence of neck pain increased with increasing working hours per week. Low back pain was most prevalent in persons working in nursing homes. Pain in the extremities was most prevalent in persons working in nursing homes and in those who were working in somatic hospital departments for adults. Headache was most prevalent in persons working in institutions for mentally handicapped people. The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was lowest in persons working in psychiatric and paediatric departments and the community-nursing service.The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in Norwegian nurses’ aides is very high. Not only the lower back but also several other regions of the body are frequently affected. The prevalence rates vary with age, gender, working hours per week, and the service sector in which the aides are working. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
