Physical exertion at work plays a major role in the development of musculoskeletal problems. There is growing evidence that work-related psychosocial factors may also contribute to musculoskeletal pain. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal pain and its demographic, physical, and psychosocial risk factors among dentists in Jordan.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study utilized a validated self-administered questionnaire distributed to 272 currently working Jordanian dentists. The questionnaire consisted of four sections: sociodemographic information, work physical characteristics, work-related psychosocial factors, and musculoskeletal pain assessment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty-one percent (51%) of Jordanian dentists reported experiencing musculoskeletal pain in the last 12 months. Neck pain (42%), followed by shoulder pain (40%), and lower back pain (40%), were the most common among dentists in Jordan. Increasing age, being a female, and obesity were significantly associated with musculoskeletal pain while smoking, exercise, and specialty level did not. A positive correlation between musculoskeletal pain and unfavorable physical characteristics at work was identified. In addition, increased work stress was positively correlated with musculoskeletal pain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study showed a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among Jordanian dentists. Increasing dentists\u2019 and healthcare authorities\u2019 awareness about factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal pain is needed. Educational programs targeting dentists at risk of developing musculoskeletal pain might be of potential preventive value.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10538127251328471","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,18]],"date-time":"2025-03-18T17:57:42Z","timestamp":1742320662000},"page":"1369-1378","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Work-related musculoskeletal pain Among Jordanian dentists: Prevalence and associated demographic, physical, and psychosocial factors"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Bayan","family":"Labib","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry, Al-Ahliyya Amman University, Amman, Jordan"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Dentistry &amp; Faculty of Nursing, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yazan","family":"Hassona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry, Al-Ahliyya Amman University, Amman, Jordan"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Dentistry &amp; Faculty of Nursing, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maysoon S","family":"Abdalrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Dentistry &amp; Faculty of Nursing, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmad","family":"Jum''ah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aqaba Medical Sciences University, Aqaba, Jordan"},{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry, Jordan University of Science &amp; Technology, Irbid, Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1762-0575","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hamza","family":"Alduraidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Dentistry &amp; Faculty of Nursing, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0208628"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2014-006451"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3233\/WOR-152122"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00420-014-0982-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00420-019-01478-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3233\/WOR-172588"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2474-5-16"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2486\/indhealth.2013-0141"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_10_2","first-page":"235","article-title":"Work related psychosocial risks and musculoskeletal disorders: potential risk factors, causation and evaluation methods","volume":"32","author":"Deeney C","year":"2009","unstructured":"Deeney C, O\u2019sullivan L.
