Introduction: Musculoskeletal pains are among the substantial problems in work environments and they are considered among the ordinary reasons behind absenteeism. Musculoskeletal disorders influence the quality of life and cause the quality of life to lower. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the objective of surveying the relationship between the quality of life in surgery room nurses with the musculoskeletal disorders. Material and methods: The present study is a descriptive-analytical research which has been conducted on 112 individuals. To collect the information required for the study we made use of a questionnaire which included three parts, the first part of which pertained to the demographic characteristics and the second part pertained to the revised standard Nordic questionnaire and the third part was related to the quality of life standard questionnaire (SF-36). Finally, after the questionnaires were collected the data were analyzed by means of SPSS ver.19 software, descriptive statistics, Pierson correlation, Chi-square and independent t-test. Findings: The results of the current study indicated that the individuals’ average age was 30.95 ± 7.76 and 41 individuals (36.6%) were single, 88 individuals (78.6%) were women. The results obtained by the present study indicated that the relationships between the quality of life and the musculoskeletal disorders in the neck (p=0.02), waist (P<0.001), shoulders (p=0.002) and wrist (P<0.001) were statistically significant. Conclusion: Generally speaking, the musculoskeletal disorders are effective on the quality of life especially in the aspects regarding physical performance, physical pain and general health status, in such a manner that the musculoskeletal disorders cause the quality of life to reduce in the staff.
