Study Details

The purpose of this nationwide cross-sectional survey is to determine the prevalence, multidimensional impacts, and associated factors of chronic occupational pain among anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists in Thailand. Due to the physically demanding nature of anesthesia practice-such as prolonged standing, awkward postures during airway management, and high-stress environments-work-related musculoskeletal disorders are highly prevalent but often underreported. This study aims to collect self-reported data via an anonymous online questionnaire to assess pain severity, specific anatomical locations, economic burdens (including absenteeism and presenteeism), and the overall impact on the health-related quality of life. Ultimately, the findings from this study will help establish a national evidence-based database to improve workplace safety, inform occupational health policies, and enhance the overall well-being of anesthesia providers in Thailand.
