METHODS: This study used a descriptive and cross-sectional design. It was conducted with 243 women who sought treatment in an orthopedic clinic between January 2023 and May 2024. Women who agreed to participate in the study, who had a cesarean section for the first time, who did not have any musculoskeletal problems before the cesarean section, who had musculoskeletal problems for a year or more after the cesarean section, and who sought treatment in the orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinic were included in the study. Data were collected through the \"Personal Information Form,\" the \"Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire,\" and the \"Nottingham Health Profile.\"  RESULTS: The average age of the participating women was 32.61\u00b16.89 years. Of all the women, 44.8% experienced pain mostly in the back and lower back region within the last year following cesarean delivery. Nottingham Health Profile scores were negatively affected by several variables such as age, weight gained during pregnancy, BMI, and musculoskeletal disorders (p&lt;0.050). An analysis of the effect sizes showed that Cohen's d values for back and lower back regions according to pain experience within the last year were 1.07 and 1.07, respectively, indicating a high effect size.  CONCLUSIONS: Musculoskeletal problems, particularly in the back and lower back regions, negatively affect women's overall health perception after cesarean delivery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1806-9282.20241804","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,8]],"date-time":"2025-07-08T14:00:18Z","timestamp":1751983218000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Musculoskeletal problems and health perceptions of women who applied to the orthopedic clinic after cesarean section"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"71","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4024-5059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhsin","family":"Dursun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Adana Ortadogu Special Hospital,  Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Musculoskeletal conditions","year":"2021"},{"issue":"8","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1115","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58081115","article-title":"The main changes in pregnancy-therapeutic approach to musculoskeletal pain","volume":"58","author":"Fiat F","year":"2022","journal-title":"Medicina (Kaunas)"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"121","DOI":"10.1136\/ard-2023-224530","article-title":"Global, regional and national temporal trends in prevalence for musculoskeletal disorders in women of childbearing age, 1990-2019: an age-period-cohort analysis based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019","volume":"83","author":"Cao F","year":"2024","journal-title":"Ann Rheum Dis"},{"issue":"6","key":"ref4","first-page":"1","article-title":"Essential medicines and patents on the World Health Organization essential medicines list 22nd edition (2022)","volume":"3","author":"Schultz M","year":"2022","journal-title":"Geneva Netw"},{"issue":"6","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2047","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0000000000001270","article-title":"Back pain and neuraxial anesthesia","volume":"122","author":"Benzon HT","year":"2016","journal-title":"Anesth Analg"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1097\/00004356-200023010-00004","article-title":"The development and psychometric assessment of the Turkish version of the Nottingham Health Profile","volume":"23","author":"K\u00fcc\u00fckdeveci AA","year":"2000","journal-title":"Int J Rehabil Res"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.5336\/healthsci.2022-92124","article-title":"The relationship of musculoskeletal disorders with health perception and use of complementary and alternative methods among greenhouse workers: a cross-sectional study","volume":"8","author":"Ad\u0131belli D","year":"2023","journal-title":"Turkiye Klin J Health Sci"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"344","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjpt.2020.12.005","article-title":"Epidemiology of chronic back pain among adults and elderly from Southern Brazil: a cross-sectional study","volume":"25","author":"Saes-Silva E","year":"2021","journal-title":"Braz J Phys Ther"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref9","first-page":"171","article-title":"Huzurevinde \u00e7al\u0131\u015fan bak\u0131m personellerinin bel-boyun fonksiyonlar\u0131 ile depresyon, t\u00fckenmi\u015flik d\u00fczeyi ve ya\u015fam kalitesi ili\u015fkili midir","volume":"32","author":"Karaman S","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sa\u011fl\u0131k ve Toplum"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"Lawrence Erlbaum Associates","first-page":"274","volume-title":"The analysis of variance.
