Abstract
Bedensel ve ruhsal bir problem olarak karşımıza çıkan ağrı; doğası gereği ciddi ekonomik, psikolojik ve sosyal sorunlara yol açabilmektedir. Çalışma hayatı içinde her geçen gün daha fazla yer alan kadınların iş ve sosyal hayat içinde üstlenmiş oldukları sorumlulukları nedeni ile ağrı şikayetlerine neden olacak fiziksel ve psikolojik risklere maruz kalmaları kaçınılmaz hale gelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı çalışma hayatı içinde yer alan kadınların ağrı şikayetlerini ve ağrı şiddeti algı düzeylerini ölçmek ve meslek gruplarına göre farklılıkları araştırmaktır. Ağrı şiddeti algı düzeyini ölçmek Visuel Ağrı Skalası (VAS) kullanmıştır. Çalışanlardan 0 ile 10 cm aralığındaki yatay bir çizgi üzerinde ağrılarını hissettikleri noktayı işaretlemeleri istenmiş ve işaretlenen noktanın 0 noktasına uzaklığı ölçülerek kaydedilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan çalışan 209 kadından 137 kişinin ağrı şikayetinin olduğu ve ağrı şikayeti olan kadınlar arasında en fazla ağrı şikayetinin sağlık çalışanları (70 kadın-% 51,10) arasında olduğu, meslek grupları ile ağrı şikayeti arasında fark olduğu ve bu farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu (p<0,05) görülmüştür. Ağrı şiddeti algı düzeyleri ise sırasıyla ‘‘sağlık çalışanlarının 5,98 (0-10), işçilerin 5,91 (0-10), öğretmenlerin 5,35 (0-10) ve memur çalışanların 5,13 (0-10)’’ olduğu gözlemlenmiş olup; meslek grupları ile ağrı şiddeti algı düzeyi arasında ise istatistiksek olarak anlamlı bir fark olmadığı görülmüştür (p>0,05).

Abstract
Pain, which is a physical and mental problem, can lead to serious economic, psychological and social problems due to its nature. It is inevitable that women, who are more and more involved in working life, are exposed to physical and psychological risks that cause pain complaints due to their responsibilities in business and social life. The aim of this study is to measure the pain symptoms and pain severity perception of women in working life and to investigate differences according to occupational groups. The Visuel Pain Scale (VAS) is used to measure of perception levels of pain severity. Workers were asked to mark the point where they felt their pain on a horizontal line in the range from 0 to 10 cm and recorded the mark of the distance from 0 point. In 137 people of 206 people in the study have complain of pain, health workers have the highest level of pain among women who complain of pain (51.10%), there was a difference between the occupational groups and pain complaint and this difference was statistically significant (p <0.05). Perception levels of pain severity was found as 5.98 (0-10) in health workers, 5.91 (0-10) in workers, 5.35 (0-10) in teachers, 5.13 (0-10) in civil servants. There was no statistically significant difference between the occupational groups and perception levels of pain severity (p> 0.05).
