Evaluate the Working Environments of Individuals Working From Home During Covid-19 Outbreak

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study aims to evaluate the working environments of individuals working from home during the covid-19 outbreak and the effect of the working environments on their musculoskeletal system.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The study will include people between the ages of 18-65 who work from home (works in the office before isolation) as a part of the Covid-19 isolation measure. The working environment of the individuals participating in the study will be evaluated with The Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA). Musculoskeletal symptoms will be analyzed by using the Standardised Nordic Questionnaires (NMQ). Pain will be analyzed by using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) .

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) | The working environment of the individuals participating in the study will be evaluated with The Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA). ROSA is a picture-based posture checklist designed to quantify exposure to risk factors in an office work environment. In ROSA, three subsections (A-chair height, depth, armrest, and backrest; B-monitor and telephone; C-mouse and keyboard) of the office work environment are assessed. After completing the ROSA checklist, the related tables are used to calculate the score from each part, and eventually, the final ROSA score is derived. If the final score is ≤4; the risk of musculoskeletal disorders is low (low risky). If the final score is ≥5 the risk of musculoskeletal disorders risk is high (high risky). | 30 minutes | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The Standardised Nordic Questionnaries (NMQ) | The NMQ includes 27 items exploring the presence of musculoskeletal symptoms for the last 12 months covering nine different parts of the body. It also has items about severity grades, determined according to functional status and the presence of musculoskeletal symptoms during the 7 days. Symptoms indicate musculoskeletal disorders in different body regions among the working population. The NMQ section that questions the last 7 days will be used in the study. In that section consists additional questions relating to the neck, the shoulders, and the lower back further detail relevant issues. Twenty-five forced-choice questions elicit any accidents affecting each area, functional impact at home and work (change of job or duties), duration of the problem, assessment by a health professional, and musculoskeletal problems in the last 7 days. | 15 minutes |
