摘要

物理治療師常因工作相關的活動造成自身的疼痛，而對剛接觸臨床工作且毫無經驗的物理治療實習學生而言，其情況是如何，尚不確定。本研究即針對物理治療實習學生六個月內出現疼痛情形作一探討。研究方法以問卷調查方式進行，共計80位物理治療實習學生參與本研究，其中74位(92.5%)在最近六個月內有因物理治療工作造成疼痛，並依其資料作分析。結果顯示，物理治療實習學生疼痛部位以下背痛最多(72.0%)，肩部(44.0%)、手腕(41.3%)、頸部(40.0%)次之。徒手治療病人為主要造成疼痛之原因(72.0%)，而重覆同一動作(60.0%)、姿勢不當(57.3%)、受傷後繼續工作(56.0%)或維持某一特定姿勢過久(50.7%)亦為造成物理治療實習學生疼痛之常見原因。疼痛造成的心理影響以情緒不佳(58.7%)及失去服務熱忱(42.7%)為主。多數實習學生仍選擇電療減緩自身疼痛(73.9%)。由研究結果顯示，與物理治療相關的疼痛發生於實習階段，未來除致力於工作環境改善，仍得重視物理治療專業人才的基礎培訓教育，包含專業知識、實際操作技術、自我保護技巧、以及情緒心理的管理與調適。

Physical therapists are found to have high rate of work-related pain. The fourth year of physical therapy program in Taiwan is for clinical practicum. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of work related pain and its associated factors in physical therapist students who were in their fourth year of clinical practicum. Questionnaires were delivered to 80 physical therapist students. Seventy-four (92.5%) experienced pain during the past 6 months, and their data were used for analysis. The pain was found to be distributed in the following areas: low back (72.0%), shoulder (44.0%), wrist (41.3%) and cervical (40.0%). Most of the physical therapists students chose 'repeated movements' as the major contributing factor for pain (72.0%). Physical therapist students chose modalities as their major approach to relieve pain (73.9%). Work-related pain could also lead to upset (58.7) and loss of enthusiasm (42.7%) in physical therapist students. The particular attention should be given to the technique and practice in manual therapy and handling of patients at the starting of physical therapy curriculum and practice.
