Installation: Recent investigations desire that environmental, psychosocial, non-distinguishing job stressors such as work encumber, and shift work could have a negative influence on the musculoskeletal structures of healthcare workers leading work-accompanying musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs). This study investigated the predominance and risk factors of WRMSDs among Healthcare peasants in five reference clinics in the City of Douala-Cameroon.Methods: A cross-sectional study was attended in 2022 among 561 healthcare traders working in five reference clinics in the city of Douala, Cameroon. Participants were picked using a convenient savoring technique. Data were calm with organized questionnaires; data on the demographics and risk determinants were collected utilizing a well-designed questionnaire while guess of the prevalence of WRMSDs was accomplished using the Modified Nordic inquiry. The collected dossier was then cleaned and resolved with the help of SPSS translation 26 and as well as confidence break calculator to reckon confidence intervals and probability ratios. Chi-square test was used to judge associations inside groups and multivariate logistic regression was done to judge the risk factors guide WRMSDs.Results: The overall prevalence rate of WRMSDs among healthcare laborers in Douala hospitals was 83.4% (468/561). The predominance per professional groups was as follows: 88.8% (71) for Medical Workshop Scientists (MLS), 81.9% (289) for nurses, 80.8% (21) for Physiotherapists (PT) and 78.8% (41) for Healing Doctors (MD). There was a significant dissimilarity (X2 = 17.651; p = 0.001) in the prevalence of WRMSDs concerning place of work where healthcare workers from HLD written the highest predominance 89.9% (133/561), while Healthcare workers form NBDH where 3 occasions less likely (AOR = 2.91; 95% CI: 1.32-6.41; p = 0.001) to have WRMSDS than the other emergency rooms. With respect to body domain, the highest prevalence of WRMSDs was written on the lower back, 58.8% (330/561) with rude at the elbows 11.2 % (63/561).The age group 30 to 39 years was considerably associated with WRMSDs at level of the jostle (p = 0.002), upper back (p = 0.019), elbows (p < 0.001), knees (p = 0.006) and ankle/extremities (p = 0.047). Working on the alike position (AOR = 2.90; 95% CI = 1.74-4.83; P = 0.001), working with quivering objects (AOR = 1.94; 95% CI = 1.10-3.40; P = 0.022) and job stress (AOR = 1.91; 95% CI = 1.14-3.20; P = 0.014) were non-mathematical risk factors associated with WRMSDs.Decision: The general predominance of WRMSDs among healthcare workers in Douala emergency rooms was high. The predominance of WRMSDs is highest among MLS and nurses and ultimate affected body parts are; lower back, narrow connector and upper back. Occupied on the same posture, working accompanying vibrating objects, difficult job, and repetitive tasks were the big risk factors mixed to WRMSDs among healthcare workers in Douala nursing homes. Improving the occupied conditions, increase in staff, raised financial and legislative motivation may be key remedies to lower the prevalence of WRMSDs with healthcare workers in Douala-Cameroon hospitals.
