  • 摘要:Introduction: One of the most widespread musculoskeletal disorders among office workers is neck-pain. Our purpose was determination of neck pain prevalence and some of its determinants among office-workers in Qom Province. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 1500 office workers in Qum Province. Samples were taken using multi-stage cluster sampling. Persian version of NORDIC questionnaire was used for the data collection. Results: prevalence of neck pain was 20.1%, 95%CI (18.1-22.2). In our study variables that significantly were related to neck-pain were: gender (P=0.011), time spent in inconvenient status (P=0.001), employment type (P<0.001), using computer at work (P=0.010), car accident history (P=0.004), frequency of breaks during the work day (P=0.005), office workers’ attitudes towards work status (P=0.016) and physical activity (P=0.009). Conclusion: Many of neck pain risk factors are preventable and controllable. So, planning for improvement of work conditions can play an important role in preventing from and decreasing this disorder among office workers.
