Objectives
Narrative objectives1
With increasing demand for gastrointestinal endoscopy, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among endoscopy professionals have been increasingly reported. However, comprehensive global data on WMSDs, work practices, work environment, and the implementation of educational/preventive measures remain limited. Therefore, in collaboration with the World Endoscopy Organization (WEO), this international cross-sectional survey aims to elucidate the current status of WMSDs and work environment among gastrointestinal endoscopists and to provide a foundation for prevention strategies and international comparisons.
Basic objectives2
Others
Basic objectives -Others
1. To estimate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs, WMSDs) among gastrointestinal endoscopists (primary objective).
2. To describe current work environment and preventive/ergonomic practices, including education and prevention measures.
3. To identify factors associated with MSDs among gastrointestinal endoscopists (secondary objective).
4. To enable international comparisons by collecting multi-country data under a unified survey framework.
