Abstract
Giriş:
Kovid-19 salgını küresel anlamda hem hastalığa bağlı sonuçlar doğurdu hem de ciddi ekonomik, psikolojik ve fiziksel etkiler yarattı. Türkiye'deki tüm üniversiteler karantina döneminde çevrimiçi derslere geçti. Tıp öğrencileri de uzaktan eğitim nedeniyle uzun süre evde kaldı zorunda kaldı ve çevrimiçi derslerde ergonomik olmayan pozisyonlarda oturarak takip etti. Çalışmamızın amacı, Kovid-19 karantinası sırasında tıp öğrencilerinin kas-iskelet sistemi sağlığını belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem:
Araştırma, tıp öğrencileri üzerinde kesitsel bir çalışma olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tıp öğrencilerinin kas-iskelet sistemi sağlığını ölçmek için çevrimiçi tabanlı bir platform kullanıldı. Kas-iskelet sistemi ağrısını değerlendirmek için sosyo-demografik sorularla birlikte Genişletilmiş İskandinav Kas-İskelet Sistemi Anketi kullanıldı.
Bulgular:
Karantina döneminde erkek öğrencilerin kız öğrencilere göre önemli ölçüde daha fazla egzersiz yaptığı gözlemlendi. Öğrencilerin günlük egzersiz süreleri arttıkça üst sırt ağrılarının azaldığı görüldü. Üst sırt, boyun, alt sırt ve omuz genel olarak en yüksek ağrı prevalansına sahip vücut bölgeleriydi.
Tartişma ve Sonuç:
Egzersiz süresinin azaltılması ve yoğun müfredat, Kovid-19 karantinası sırasında tıp öğrencilerinde çeşitli kas-iskelet sistemi sorunlarına neden olabilmektedir. Bu bulgular, tıp öğrencilerinde hem hareketsiz geçirilen zamanı azaltmayı hem de fiziksel aktiviteyi teşvik etmeyi amaçlayan yeni eğitim modellerinin keşfedilmesinde faydalı olabilir.

Abstract
Background:
Covid-19 outbreak has both resulted in disease-related consequences and serious economic, psychological and physical impacts globally. All universities in Turkey shifted to online classes during lockdown. Due to distance education, medical students stayed at home for a long time and sat in non-ergonomic positions during online classes. The aim of our study is to determine the musculoskeletal health of medical students during Covid-19 lockdown.
Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study on medical students. An online-based platform was used to measure medical student’s musculoskeletal health. In combination with socio-demographic questions, the Expanded Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire was utilized to evaluate the musculoskeletal pain.
Results:
It has been observed that male students exercise significantly more than female students during the lockdown. As the daily exercise duration of the students increased, their upper back pain decreased. Upper back, neck, lower back, and shoulder were the body parts with the highest pain prevalence overall.
Conclusion:
Reductions in exercise time and intensive curriculum may cause various musculoskeletal problems in medical students during Covid-19 lockdown. These findings may be useful in discovering new educational models aimed at both reducing sedentary time and promoting physical activity in medical students.
