Methods

We registered this review at PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42020166655). The research steps in this systematic review and meta-analysis were performed according to the MOOSE protocol, and finally, reports were provided based on the PRISMA guidelines. The literature search was performed in October 2019 using the international online databases, including Web of Science, Ovid, Science Direct, Scopus, EMBASE, PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, CINAHL, Google Scholar as well as national databases were reviewed. Data were extracted after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria and qualitative evaluation of the studies. I² index and Q test were used to assess differences in studies. All analyses were performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software. P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. We identified 1261 potential articles from the databases, and 426 articles remained after removing the duplicate and unrelated studies. After evaluating the full text, 52 articles were removed.

Anthropologists and sociologists consider population aging to be the most important phenomenon of the present age [2]. According to the World Health Organization, by 2025 the population of the elderly will reach more than 800 million [5]. Also, according to another report from this organization, a high percentage of the need to use health services compared to the total population is related to the elderly. The need for comprehensive attention to the elderly is due to the fact that these people have many health problems and are the main consumers of health services [3].
The significant increase in the elderly population has posed many challenges to health policymakers. [4]
One of the most important challenges is maintaining the quality of health care for the elderly. There are various factors involved in providing quality services to the elderly, but one of these factors is the attitude of health care providers to the elderly and the phenomenon of aging [7].
Therefore, the main purpose and necessity of this study is to investigate the attitudes of students of Ilam University of Medical Sciences and their willingness to work with the elderly because their field of work in the future may be directly related to the provision of services and health care to the elderly.

Musculoskeletal disorders are among the work-related illnesses that can appear very debilitating and according to research, the main cause of lost time is increased costs and human injuries of the workforce. One of the new methods that has recently been introduced in comparison with other ergonomic assessment methods and its specific applications are risk assessment of musculoskeletal disorders in office workers and computer users, ROSA (Rapid Office Strain Assessment) method. is. This method identifies ergonomic risk factors in office workers whose work is based on the use of computers, and classifies their level of risk. Since every employed person spends most of his life in the workplace and is exposed to risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders, the results of this study can be used to improve the work environment to increase productivity. , Reduce accidents and injuries and increase employee job satisfaction, etc. used. And by optimizing and adapting the conditions of the work environment in accordance with the duties performed by employees, while achieving the above objectives, maintained, provided and improved the health and safety of the workforce.
