Most nurses in Kenya are silently suffering from work-related disorders, a new study has revealed.
About 70 per cent of nurses are exposed to work-related musculoskeletal disorders that negatively impact their output, according to the study by Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST).
The disorders include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, thoracic outlet syndrome and tension neck syndrome. Others are hernia, sprains, strains, trauma, back pain and arthritis.
