Overview

Cross-sectional study finds chronic neck pain correlates with disability and physical activity in healthcare workers, highlighting the need for preventive strategies.

Key Points

  • Chronic neck pain is significantly correlated with disability among healthcare workers, indicating a substantial impact on their daily lives.
  • Higher physical activity levels were reported by approximately 70% of participants, with a noted positive correlation to pain levels.
  • HCWs showed a moderate positive correlation between chronic neck pain and disability (r = 0.64), implying the need for targeted interventions.
  • Given the small sample size of 30 participants, further research is needed to validate findings and inform occupational health strategies.
