Abstract
This study indicates that, as in other areas of nursing practice, in PHC nurses are also exposed to risk factors that are linked with a high prevalence of WRMSDs symptoms. “Inadequate” and extreme postures sustained for prolonged periods and their repetitiveness will contribute to this occurrence. This shows the need to develop occupational prevention programs to curb this occupational health issue among PHC nurses.
