Introdução: A dor cervical é uma das principais causas de incapacidade em todo mundo. A crescente utilização de aparelhos eletrónicos tem contribuído para o aumento deste fenómeno principalmente na população jovem. Objetivo: Investigar se há relação entre a dor e incapacidade da cervical e o uso de aparelhos eletrónicos (telemóveis e computadores) em estudantes da Escola Superior de Saúde Fernando Pessoa, do curso de Fisioterapia. Metodologia: Foram incluídos 58 estudantes, 31 do sexo feminino e 27 do sexo masculino que responderam a dois questionários, com questões sobre o uso de aparelhos e queixas de dor sobre a cervical e o questionário Neck Disability Index para avaliar a sua incapacidade. Resultados: Foi possível verificar que a maioria dos participantes (27,6%) revela sentir dor na cervical 1 a 2 vezes por semana. Verificou-se ainda que 28,1% dos alunos referem sentir dor após a utilização dos aparelhos eletrónicos (telemóvel e computador). Podemos ainda verificar que, existe uma associação entre a dor cervical reportada pelos estudantes e o sexo, a dor cervical após usar o telemóvel e computador e a presença de ansiedade e stress. A incapacidade apresentou associação com a idade e a idade com que iniciaram a usar o telemóvel. Conclusão: a dor e incapacidade na cervical referida pelos estudantes de fisioterapia não apresentou associação com a utilização dos aparelhos eletrónicos.
Introduction: Cervical pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. The increasing use of electronic devices has contributed to the rise of this phenomenon, particularly among the younger population. Objective: To investigate the potential relationship between cervical pain and disability and the use of electronic devices (mobile phones and computers) among students at the Fernando Pessoa School of Health Sciences, in the Physiotherapy program. Methodology: Fifty eight students, 31 females and 27 males, were included in the study. They completed two questionnaires, consisting of questions about device usage and complaints of cervical pain, as well as the Neck Disability Index questionnaire to assess their disability levels. Results: It was observed that the majority of participants (27.6%) reported experiencing cervical pain 1 to 2 times per week. Furthermore, 28.1% of students reported experiencing pain after using electronic devices (mobile phones and computers). It was also found that there is an association between cervical pain reported by the students and gender, cervical pain after using mobile phones and computers, as well as the presence of anxiety and stress. Disability showed an association with age and the age at which the y began using mobile phones. Conclusion: The cervical pain and disability reported by physiotherapy students did not show a significant association with the use of electronic devices.
