Description

This is a voluntary research study to implement and assess the efficacy of interventions aimed to improve surgical ergonomics in OBGYN residents, fellows, and attendings and decrease the incidence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMD). We want to learn the baseline incidence of WMRD in our population and to see if the implementation of a surgical ergonomics lecture, pre-operative surgical ergonomics time-out, and intra-operative stretch breaks will improve the incidence of WRMD in this population.

Interventions

  • Surgical Ergonomics Lecture (Behavioral)
    60 min lecture regarding surgical ergonomics
  • Pre-Incision Surgical Ergonomics Time Out (Behavioral)
    Pre-incision time-out (30-60s) focusing on surgical ergonomics in OR prior to starting a surgery
  • Intra-operative stretch breaks (Behavioral)
    30-60s breaks every 90 min to perform stretches during a surgical procedure
