Abstract: Objective To analyze the status and influencing factors of cervical vertebra discomfort in medical staff, so as to provide reference for its prevention and treatment. Methods Simple sampling method was used to select medical staff such as doctors, nurses, technicians and administrators in 2 tertiary hospitals and 2 secondary hospitals on August 23-30, 2020. The status of cervical vertebra discomfort among medical staff and its influencing factors were analyzed by the univariate and multivariate analysis. Results Among 1 058 medical staffs, there were 416 cases of cervical vertebra discomfort, the incidence rate was 39.3%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female （OR=3.684）, age （OR=4.522）, less physical exercise （OR=4.221）, more insomnia （OR=3.706）, working at non-operating departments and operating departments （OR=2.782, 4.323）, the longer the working years （OR=4.655）, the more night shifts （OR=3.740）, the more overtime （OR=4.559）, the more forced postures at work （OR=4.865）, the higher the risk of cervical vertebra discomfort among medical staff. Conclusion The incidence rate of cervical vertebra discomfort in medical staff is high, which is affected by gender, age, physical exercise, insomnia, work unit, years of working, night shift, overtime, and forced posture at work. Effective intervention measures should be taken to promote the health status of medical staff by integrating the influence of various factors.
