Psychosocial Factors Related to Musculoskeletal Disorders in Academicians

Turkey (Türkiye)99 participantsStarted 2025-01-02

Plain-language summary

the prevalence of occupational stress and burnout is very high among academicians. Previous studies examining MSDs in academicians have focused more on physical factors such as physical activity levels and ergonomics, while interest in psychosocial factors has been limited. To our knowledge, there is no study in the literature that evaluates both MSDs, work stress, and burnout in academicians. Therefore, our study aims to investigate the relationship between MSDs and academic stress, burnout, and work-life balance among academicians.
