Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders are among the most common complications associated with the dental profession. This study aims to assess awareness of ergonomic principles and the application of asana-based exercises as a preventive rehabilitation approach among dentists in dental clinics in Ardabil.
Materials and Methods: In this analytical descriptive as a cross-sectional study, 227 participants, including clinical dental students, general dentists, and specialists working in Ardabil, were involved. Convenience sampling was used to collect data. An online questionnaire in three sections was utilized: the first section collected demographic information, the second addressed ergonomic principles related to appropriate postures, and the third provided images of exercises compliant with Asana principles. The results were analyzed using factor analysis and regression with SPSS software.
Results: A total of 108 students, 54 dentists, and 34 specialized dentists participated, of whom 51.5% were male and 48.5% were female. Dental students, dentists, and specialists had awareness levels of 73.35%, 92.36%, and 71.39%, respectively, regarding ergonomic principles. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean score of awareness and the performance of asana exercises based on the clinical profession of the participants in the study (P-value > 0.05). However, no significant associations were observed between knowledge and gender (P-value = 0.58), age (P-value = 0.22), work experience, or academic term for students (P-value = 0.28).Most participants don’t engage in physical activity outside dental clinical practice (78.9%), with no significant association observed between clinical profession and physical activity (P-value > 0.05).
Conclusion: The level of awareness among students and dentists regarding ergonomic principles and the engagement rate in preventive exercises for musculoskeletal disorders is low. By focusing on the education of asana principles and increasing the awareness levels of dental students and dentists, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders in these individuals, thereby improving their productivity and the quality of dental services.
