Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the prevalence and the factors associated with the occurrence of musculoskeletal pain in hospital cleaning workers. Method: cross-sectional study, involving 157 outsourced workers at a university hospital in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The data were collected through a semistructured interview and analyzed through descriptive and analytic statistics. The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain corresponded to 70.1%, with strong and unbearable intensity in 25.5% of the cases. Results: the workers were between 19 and 34 old; 95%CI=1.03-1.27, those without time for leisure RPa=1.14; 95%CI=1.03-1.27 and those who sometimes have time for leisure RPa=1.10; 95%CI=1.02-1.20 presented higher prevalence rates for musculoskeletal pain than the other groups. Conclusion: no association was verified between musculoskeletal pain and occupational factors. Nevertheless, the workers perform their activities even with musculoskletal symptoms, which suggests attention.
