| description | Background
The prevalence of cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) in veterinarians has not been adequately studied.
Methods
A questionnaire was sent to 2,000 California veterinarians in 1997; the return rate was 73% (n = 1,415).
Results
Ninety‐six percent (1,353) of the respondents were professionally active and were included in the analyses. Sixty‐four percent were male and 90% were working full‐time. One‐fourth of the respondents reported a CTD during their career that required treatment or restricted usual activities. Two‐thirds of those reporting CTDs reported chronic or residual problems. In a multivariate regression analysis female sex, working full‐time, rectal palpations, and large animal practice were significant risk factors for CTDs.
Conclusions
Being in large animal practice increased the CTD risk for both women and men whether they worked full or part‐time. CTD risk was highest in women working full‐time and doing 80% rectal palpations. Preventive methods to attenuate the risk of CTDs especially in large animal practice should be investigated. Am. J. Ind. Med. 55:855–861, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. |
