Musculoskeletal symptoms in nursing students: concept analysis

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the musculoskeletal symptomatology concept in undergraduate nursing students through Rodgers' evolutionary method. Method: An integrative review of the literature was performed for the identification and selection of ten articles. A concept analysis was performed according to Rodgers' evolutionary method. Article search was performed using the EBOSCO Host platform, Virtual Health Library and Google scholar for the years from 2004 to 2018. Results: Based on the 3 elements of Rodgers model we found: 1) substitute terms and related concepts, where musculoskeletal disorders and musculoskeletal symptoms were highlighted; 2) as essential attributes of the concept we highlight pain and discomfort, as well as, measurement using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire; and 3) risk factors were identified as antecedents, and the consequences were the impact on students' lives. Conclusions: This study contributes to the knowledge and clarification of the concept of musculoskeletal symptomatology in nursing students.

摘要 目的：本研究采用罗杰斯（Rodgers）演化分析法，对本科护理学生群体的肌肉骨骼症状学概念展开分析。方法：本研究开展整合性文献回顾，筛选并纳入10篇相关文献，依据罗杰斯演化分析法实施概念分析。文献检索依托EBOSCO Host平台、虚拟健康图书馆（Virtual Health Library）及谷歌学术（Google Scholar），检索时限为2004年至2018年。结果：基于罗杰斯模型的三大核心要素，本研究得到以下结果：1）替代术语与相关概念：重点涵盖肌肉骨骼疾病（musculoskeletal disorders）与肌肉骨骼症状（musculoskeletal symptoms）；2）该概念的核心属性包括疼痛与不适，以及采用北欧肌肉骨骼问卷（Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire）开展的测评；3）风险因素被识别为该概念的前置动因，而最终后果则体现为对学生生活的影响。结论：本研究有助于丰富与厘清护理本科学生群体中肌肉骨骼症状学的概念内涵。
