Surgery exposes professionals to significant physical and psychological risks, including intense exertion, prolonged static postures, and repetitive gestures, often leading to musculoskeletal pain. International studies report prevalence rates above 90%, linked to long procedures and poor ergonomics, alongside exposure to biological and chemical hazards, radiation, toxic smoke, and chronic stress. In the Republic of Moldova, occupational health in the medical sector is underexplored, with no tools tailored to surgeons. This study aims to develop and validate the first nationally standardized questionnaire to assess these risks and support public health policies.
