Abstract Background: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders comprise muscle, tendon, synovial, nerve, fascial and ligament injuries alone or combined, with a proven or not relationship with work. They manifest as pain, paresthesia, feeling of heaviness and fatigue, and may cause temporary or permanent incapacity for work. Objective: To establish the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and quality of life of administrative technicians at a public institution who used computers at work for 5 years. Methods: The sample comprised 70 administrative technicians aged 20 to 69 who used computers at work for 5 years. We analyzed the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints by means of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and quality of life with SF-36. Interviews were performed in the workplace. The data were analyzed with SPSS 20.0 and the significance level was set to 5%. Results: SF-36 domain scores were considered satisfactory for all the participants. Prevalence of pain in the past 7 days (70%) and past 12 months (77.1%) was high. The lower back was the body site most frequently involved (38.6%). Conclusion: The prevalence of pain in several body sites was high among the analyzed administrative technicians. Pain might interfere with their work and lead to sick leave spells. Clinical assessments and interventions are needed to minimize this problem. Keywords | occupational health; cumulative trauma disorders; musculoskeletal pain. Introducao: Os disturbios osteomusculares relacionados ao trabalho (DORT) sao afeccoes de musculos, tendoes, sinovias, nervos, fascias e ligamentos isoladas ou combinadas associados, comprovadamente ou nao, ao trabalho. Caracterizam-se pela ocorrencia de sintomas como dor, parestesia, sensacao de peso e fadiga e sao causa de incapacidades laborais temporarias ou permanentes. Objetivo: Investigar a prevalencia de sintomas osteomusculares em tecnicos administrativos de uma instituicao federal que desempenharam atividade informatizada nos ultimos cinco anos, bem como a qualidade de vida. Metodologia: Participaram do estudo 70 tecnicos administrativos que desempenhavam trabalho informatizado havia pelo menos cinco anos, com idade entre 20 e 69 anos. Buscou-se avaliar a prevalencia de sintomas osteomioarticulares, por meio do Questionario Nordico de Sintomas Osteomusculares, e a qualidade de vida, pelo Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36). As entrevistas foram realizadas no local de trabalho, e os dados, analisados no Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (20.0), com nivel de significancia de 5%. Resultados: Os resultados obtidos mostraram que os sujeitos apresentaram valores conforme o considerado normal para todos os dominios do SF-36 e alta prevalencia de dor nos ultimos sete dias (70%) e nos ultimos 12 meses (77,1%), sendo a coluna lombar a regiao mais afetada, com 38,6%. Conclusao: Trabalhadores tecnicos administrativos desempenhando trabalho informatizado apresentam altos indices de presenca do episodio dor em diferentes regioes corporais, podendo interferir na producao do trabalho e levar ao afastamento da atividade. Logo, Palavras-chave | saude do trabalhador; transtornos traumaticos cumulativos; dor musculoesqueletica.
