Worker’s health, Health professionals, Cumulative traumatic disorders, Labor gymnasticsAbstract
This aimed to systematically review randomized
controlled trials and compare the effectiveness of labor
gymnastics with that of no intervention, minimal intervention
or other types of intervention in healthcare workers,
in relation to musculoskeletal pain, stress, physical disability,
and absence from work. A search was carried out in the
PUBMED, Pedro, EMBASE, CENTRAL, CINAHAL, PSYCHINFO,
NIOSHTIC-2, SPORT DICUS, SCIELO, and LILACS databases.
In total, 3,598 articles were found, seven of which were
eligible for the study. There was a statistical difference in
musculoskeletal pain in favor of labor gymnastics after 5,
10 and 12 weeks (MD: −0.63; 95%, CI: −1.17; −0.08) and 6,
9 and 12 months of intervention (MD: −0.74; 95% CI: −1.43;
−0.05). There was also a statistical difference in favor of labor
gymnastics in terms of time off work (MD: −3.26; 95% CI:
−6.28; −0.25) and stress (SMD: −0.35; 95% CI: −0.67; −0.03)
in studies in which interventions were carried out for 5 and
10 weeks. Labor gymnastics can contribute to the physical
and mental health of healthcare professionals. However,
more randomized controlled studies with a larger sample
size and aimed at this professional category are needed
