Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı çocukların kullandıkları okul çantası özelliklerinin sırt ağrılarına etkisi olup olmadığını incelemekti.
Çalışma Planı: Tanımlayıcı kesitsel bir çalışma.
Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 82 gönüllü öğrenci dahil edildi. Çalışmaya katılan çocukların kullandıkları okul çantasının özellikleri, algılanan çanta ağırlıkları, çanta taşıma şekilleri, ağrı ve yorgunluk düzeyleri gibi değişkenler araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan form yardımıyla sorgulandı. SPSS 22.0 programı verilerin analizinde kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 9.82±0.65 yıl olan 39’u kız (%47.6) 43’ü erkek (%52.4 ) olmak üzere 82 gönüllü öğrenci dahil edildi. Çocukların okula gelirken kullandıkları çanta tipinin sırt çantası olduğu belirlendi. Sırt çantası kullanan öğrencilerin %29.26’sı (n=23) çantalarını tek omuz askısı, %70.74’ü (n=59) ise iki omuz askısı ile taşımaktaydı. Çanta taşıma şekline göre sırt ağrıları karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu (p<0.05). Cinsiyete göre sırt ağrısının düzeyi incelendiğinde ise iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmadı (p>0.05).
Sonuç: Avrupa’da okul çantası ağırlığının çocuğun vücut ağırlığının %10’unu geçmemesi önerilirken çalışmamızın sonuçlarına göre bu oran yaklaşık %13 olarak bulunmuş ve önerilen sınırı geçmiştir. Çalışmamızın sonuçları çocukların algıladıkları çanta ağırlığının sırt ağrısı ve yorgunlukla ilişkili olduğu yönündedir.

Purpose:The aim of our study was to investigate whether the school bag properties used by children had an effect on their back pain.
Patients and Methods:Eighty-two volunteer students were included in the study. The characteristics of the school bag used by the children who were participating in the study, the data of the variables such as perceived bag weights, bag carrying patterns and pain and fatigue levels were questioned with the form prepared by the researchers. SPSS 22.0 analysis program was used to analyze the data.
Results:The average age of the participants was 9.82 ± 0.65 years. Of the 82 volunteer students who included in the study were 39 (47.6%) female and 43 (52.4%) were male. It was determined that the type of bag that children used when coming to school was a backpack. 29.26% (n = 23) of the students carry their backpacks with one shoulder strap and 70.74% (n = 59) with two shoulder straps. There was a statistically significant correlation between the severity of back pain and the type of carrying bag (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the level of back pain and gender (p> 0.05).
Conclusion:It was recommended that the weight of school bag should not exceed 10% of the child\'s body weight in Europe but we found approximately 13% and exceeded the recommended limit. The results of our study suggest that the bag weight perceived by children is related to back pain and fatigue.
