Exercise habits, physical fitness, and musculoskeletal health among nursing professionals: A scoping review of literature
Authors
Dr. Vivek H Ramanandi
Abstract
Nursing professionals are at a heightened risk for musculoskeletal
disorders (MSDs) due to the physical demands of their occupation. This scoping
review explores the relationship between exercise habits, physical fitness, and
musculoskeletal health among nursing professionals. The review synthesizes
findings from various studies to identify key trends, gaps in research, and
implications for occupational health interventions. Results indicate that while
regular physical activity can mitigate MSDs and improve overall fitness, many
nurses fail to meet recommended exercise guidelines. Interventions targeting
improved physical activity and fitness levels are essential to enhance work
capacity and reduce the prevalence of MSDs in this population.
