Brief Summary
This study aims to determine the prevalence and distribution of musculoskeletal pain among lawyers registered with the Isparta Bar Association, specifically in relation to their varying levels of physical activity. The data obtained will help establish the relationships between physical activity levels, occupational factors, stress, and job satisfaction, thereby providing a foundation for developing personalized and preventive physiotherapy approaches for this specific population. Furthermore, the study will serve as a guiding resource for the ergonomic improvement of lawyers' working conditions and the formulation of occupational health policies. H1: There is a statistically significant relationship between lawyers' physical activity levels and the frequency, distribution, and severity of musculoskeletal pain in various anatomical regions of the body. H2: Physical activity level, perceived stress, occupational burnout, and job satisfaction levels are significant predictors of musculoskeletal pain among lawyers. H3: There is a statistically significant difference between lawyers' sociodemographic and professional characteristics (duration of employment, daily time spent at a desk and using a computer, etc.) and their perceived stress and job satisfaction scores. H4: Musculoskeletal complaints and functional limitations are significantly higher among lawyers experiencing high levels of perceived stress and occupational burnout compared to the group reporting low stress and burnout.
