Background. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are an important public health problem in working environments. WMSDs are the major causes of disability and cause individual suffering and financial burdens to the individual, families, industry or employer, healthcare system, and society at large. This study aims to assess the prevalence and associated factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among bankers working in Mekelle city, Tigray, Ethiopia, 2018. This study is based on an institutional-based cross-sectional study design, where 328 bankers are selected randomly from bankers working in Mekelle city from February to June 2018. Data were entered, organized, and analyzed by SPSS version 23. A final logistic model was run to identify factors associated with WMSDs, and the magnitude and direction of association were decided based on the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Result. Out of 307 bankers, the annual prevalence rate of WMSDs was 65.5% (201). Significant predictors were being 30–39 years old [AOR = 5.552; 95% CI = 1.465–21.039] and above 40 years old [AOR = 5.719; 95% CI = 1.422–22.994], low educational level [AOR = 4.256; 95% CI = 1.139–15.895], working > 5 years [AOR = 3.892; 95% CI = 1.841–8.231], not doing physical exercises [AOR = 2.866; 95% CI = 1.303–6.304], stress [AOR = 4.723; 95% CI = 2.421–9.213], poor posture [AOR = 2.692; 95% CI = 1.339–5.411], breaks [AOR = 5.170; 95% CI = 2.070–12.912], and ergonomics [AOR = 3.801; 95% CI = 1.260–11.472]. Conclusion. The prevalence of WMSDs among bankers was high. The significant associated factors responsible for the occurrence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders include longer working experience, being above 30 years old, low educational status, physical exercise, job stress, poor posture, absence of breaks during working hours, and absence of ergonomic training.

埃塞俄比亚银行家中与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病和相关因素，2018年。

背景。与工作有关的肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSD）是工作环境中的重要公共卫生问题。WMSD是造成残疾的主要原因，并给个人，家庭，行业或雇主，医疗保健系统以及整个社会造成个人痛苦和财务负担。这项研究旨在评估在埃塞俄比亚提格雷（Tigray）梅凯尔城工作的银行家中与工作有关的肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率及其相关因素，2018年。该研究基于制度性横断面研究设计，在该研究中，随机选择了328名银行家数据来自于在梅克尔（Mekelle）市工作的银行从2018年2月至2018年6月。采用SPSS 23版输入，整理和分析了数据。运行了最终的物流模型以识别与WMSD相关的因素结果。在307名银行家中，WMSD的年患病率为65.5％（201）。重要的预测因素是30-39岁[AOR = 5.552；95％CI = 1.465–21.039]和40岁以上[AOR = 5.719; 95％CI = 1.422–22.994]，文化程度较低[AOR = 4.256；95％CI = 1.139–15.895]，工作时间超过5年[AOR = 3.892；95％CI = 1.841–8.231]，不进行体育锻炼[AOR = 2.866; 95％CI = 1.303–6.304]，应力[AOR = 4.723；95％CI = 2.421–9.213]，不良姿势[AOR = 2.692; 95％CI = 1.339–5.411]，突破[AOR = 5.170；95％CI = 2.070-12.912]和人体工程学[AOR = 3.801; 95％CI = 1.260-11.472]。结论。银行家中WMSD的患病率很高。导致与工作有关的肌肉骨骼疾病发生的重要相关因素包括更长的工作经验，超过30岁的年龄，低学历，体育锻炼，工作压力，姿势不良，在工作时间内没有休息时间以及缺乏人体工程学训练。
