Abstract :Abstract Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the musculoskeletal pain frequency and relationships of musculoskeletal pains with the sleep quality among office workers. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 186 office workers evaluated in April-August 2022. The data were obtained through the personal information form, the Extended-Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results: It was found that 83.3% of office workers had musculoskeletal pain and 74.7% had poor sleep quality. Knee pain (p=0.016; OR=3.670; 95% CI = 1.280-10.342) and lower back pain (p=0.003; OR=4.380; 95% CI= 1.680-11.517) were significant predictors of poor sleep quality. There was a moderate positive correlation between the number of body areas where the pain was reported and the PSQI score (r: 0.367, p<0.001). The presence of poor sleep quality was significantly higher among those who reported musculoskeletal pain than those who did not (p=0.001). Conclusion: Musculoskeletal pain is common among office workers and associated with poor sleep quality. Factors that can cause the development of musculoskeletal pain and poor sleep quality among office workers should be identified, and preventive and therapeutic strategies should be developed.Keywords : Kas İskelet Sistem Ağrısı, Ofis Çalışanı, Uyku
