Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between musculoskeletal pain and perceived stress levels in safety workers during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Materials and Methods: 116 police officers, male (83.6%) and female (16.4%), who were actively working in different status and units, participated in the study in April 2019. “Expanded Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire” was used to inquire about musculoskeletal disorders and Perceived Stress Scale was used to determine perceived stress. A Demographic Information Form consisting of demographic information and descriptive questions about the epidemic process was used.
Results: When the perceived stress level was compared with pain in the last 12 months, work disability due to pain in the last 12 months, and presence of pain in the last 7 days, a significant relationship was found between the presence of knee pain in the last 12 months and the perceived stress level (p = 0.030).
Discussion: We think that during the COVID-19 epidemic, it contributed to the literature on the point that there is a positive relationship between the presence of knee pain in the last.
