Abstract
This study aims to identify the symptoms and related factors of musculoskeletal disorders among teacher librarians, with the goal of raising awareness about their health and safety, and providing foundational data for the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. An online survey was conducted with teacher librarians working in elementary, middle, and high school libraries, and data were analyzed based on responses from 204 participants. The survey provided by KOSHA was utilized to identify the musculoskeletal disorder symptoms and the collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 29.0 program. Of the 204 librarian teachers, 92.6% have experienced symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders such as pain, soreness, and tingling in relation to their work over the past year. Additionally, 20.6% were classified as normal, 44.1% as requiring management, and 35.3% as reporting pain. By body part, the highest incidence was reported in the hands․wrists․fingers, followed by the lower back, shoulders, neck, arms․elbows, and legs․feet.
