The objective of this study was to find a correlation between the sleep duration and musculoskeletal pain in night shift security guards. They not only have their sleep compromised due to their work shifts but also have work related musculoskeletal disorders. A total of 100 security guards participated in the study, who were asked about their sleep durations and any musculoskeletal pain. The screening tools used for the study were theNordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and the Visual Analogue Scale,which were used for assessing the pain site and level respectively. The findings indicate an inverse correlation between the sleep duration andmusculoskeletal pain (r value = -0.07431,P value = 0.4625).Also, the study identifies the primary sites of pain complaints among the security guards which were lower back, followed by knee and ankle respectively. 

Correlation of Sleep Duration and Musculoskeletal Pain in Night Shift Security Guards

Objectives: To investigate whether a higher proportion of night shifts is associated with a higher occurrence of musculoskeletal pain and headaches. Furthermore, to investigate whether sleep duration can mediate this potential association. Method: The study included 684 nurses in rotating shift work (day, evening, night) who responded to a daily questionnaire about working hours, sleep, and pain for 28 consecutive days. The data were treated as cross-sectional data. Results: A negative binomial regression analysis adjusted for age and BMI revealed that working a higher proportion of night shifts is not associated with a higher occurrence of musculoskeletal pain and headaches. On the contrary, those working [≥]50 % night shifts had a significantly lower occurrence of pain in the lower extremities than those who worked <25 % night shifts (IRR 0.69 95 % CI 0.51, 0.94). There was no indication of a mediation effect with total sleep time (TST). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that working a higher monthly proportion of night shifts is not associated with a higher occurrence of musculoskeletal pain and headaches.
