Abstract

Objectives: To estimate Disability-Adjusted Life Years Lost - DALY due to musculoskeletal disorders in nursing professionals in the hospital units of an oncology institution. Methods: Ecological study, using institutional database. Absolute DALY values were transformed into rates per 100,000 inhabitants and calculated by professional category, sex and age group. Results: It was estimated 3.78 DALY (2,136/100 thousand) among all nursing professionals, among Nursing Technicians 2.62 DALY (2186//100 thousand) and among Nurses 1.15 DALY (2024/100 thousand). Higher DALYs occurred among female
nursing technicians, aged 50 to 59 years with 0.98 DALY (3,161/100,000). Dorsopathies generated more DALY (1.97 DALY), especially low back pain and neck pain. Of the diagnoses found, 54% referred to Work-Related Musculoskeletal Diseases, and presented 2.62 DALYs (69% of the total DALY). Conclusion: There was a large amount of DALY due to musculoskeletal disorders among nursing professionals at the institution.
