<![CDATA[Introduction and objective: The prevalence rate of musculoskeletal pain among Indian school-goingchildren is 55% to 85% in between and the recommended weight is given to school children should beless than 10% of the body weight but children carry bag weight on the body i.e. 15% of the body weight.Hence the main objective of this study was to correlate the weight of the student with bag weight andmusculoskeletal quandry. Methodology: Quantitative approach with non-experimental correlational designused in this study to assess the musculoskeletal quandry with the bag carried by children studying at selectedschool of Pune”. Musculoskeletal pain was assessed with the help of standardized tool which was Modifiedcornell musculoskeletal discomfort questionnaire, Wongs baker pain rating scale. 200 school children wereselected by using Non-probability convenient sampling technique. In this study the data was analysed usingPearson coefficient correlation test, and Fishers’ exact test. Result: The following observation were madefrom the study. The p-values for this test were large for these parameters, which is evident that though thereis a negative correlation of weight of students with Pain frequency (0.490), Discomfort (0.422), Interference(0.432), and Pain (0.486), the correlation is not significant Pearson’s correlation coefficient between theweight of school children and bag weight was 0.12 which is positive. Fisher’s exact test was applied to findthe association and the result shows that the p-value is less than 0.05 it indicates that there is a significantassociation with the musculoskeletal quandry. Conclusion: Hence, the significance of this study indicates ofevidence for the null hypothesis and analysis and results show that there is a negative correlation betweenthe weight of the student with the bag weight.]]>
