Abstract: Objective To explore the current situation of cervical spondylosis among medical staff in Zhengzhou and investigate the related factors affecting the occurrence of cervical spondylosis. Methods The current status of cervical spondylosis among medical staff in two tertiary hospitals and two secondary hospitals was investigated by simple random sampling method from March to September 2021. The univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis method was used to analyze the related factors affecting the occurrence of cervical spondylosis among medical staff. Results This study finally obtained the results of questionnaire survey and cervical health status survey of 3 150 medical staff. There were 1 497 males, accounting for 47.52%, and 1 653 females, accounting for 52.48%, aged 22-59 years, with an average of (40.02±6.31) years. A total of 970 medical staff were diagnosed with cervical spondylosis, accounting for 30.79%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the medical staff who were aged 41-50 years (OR=3.221), 51-59 years (OR=4.521), non-surgical department (OR=2.221), surgical department (OR=4.654), 6-10 years of service (OR=2.331), more than 10 years of service (OR=3.002), often work overtime (OR=1.365), often night shift (OR=2.554) had high possibility of cervical spondylosis, while the medical staff who often exercised (OR=0.370) had low possibility of cervical spondylosis. Conclusion The incidence of cervical spondylosis among medical staff in Zhengzhou is high. Age, department, physical exercise, and working life will increase the risk of cervical spondylosis. It needs to arouse the attention of hospitals, departments and individuals. Effective intervention should be carried out through reasonable arrangement of working time and tasks, combined with age and other factors, to improve the health of medical staff in the region.
