Prevalence and associated factors of musculoskeletal disorders among public primary care physicians in a regional healthcare cluster in Singapore: a cross-sectional study

Our study demonstrated a high prevalence of MSDs among our local PCPs. Female gender was associated with a higher risk of MSDs. As such, further research can be conducted to explore the risk factors for MSDs and their impact on productivity and quality of care. This would help in the development of preventive measures with the goal of reducing MSDs among PCPs.

Abstract

Our study demonstrated a high prevalence of MSDs among our local PCPs. Female gender was associated with a higher risk of MSDs. As such, further research can be conducted to explore the risk factors for MSDs and their impact on productivity and quality of care. This would help in the development of preventive measures with the goal of reducing MSDs among PCPs.
