Investigation of the association between ergonomic conditions of nursing workstations and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders among nurses: a case study in selected hospitals of Shahid Beheshti University of medical sciences
By focusing on the eight domains of the NSEA tool, targeted interventions can be designed and implemented in each section to gradually achieve ideal conditions. For example, measures such as using ergonomic and adjustable equipment tailored to nurses' body dimensions and redesigning the layout of workstations can promote nurses' health. Therefore, it is recommended that healthcare administrators and policymakers prioritize the continuous assessment and optimization of ergonomic conditions in hospital occupational safety and health programs. Overall, these results further reveal the necessity for serious investment in optimizing the ergonomic standards of nursing workstations.
