Abstract

The goal of this study is to analyze the ergonomics literature in healthcare organisations in terms of major characteristics of existing publications, limitations, and future research opportunities. In two ways, it adds to the body of knowledge. To offer an overview of completed research initiatives, it separates the literature into seven categories: "year," "area," "study technique," "findings," "setting," "constraints," and "future research orientation." Second, it identifies a research gap in the current literature and proposes future study opportunities. According to the findings, previous research on the topic has struggled to provide a robust theoretical framework. More research will be required to validate the proposed ideas, concepts, and frameworks. As a result, the effects of ergonomics on caregivers or healthcare professionals have been extensively researched with small samples, leaving plenty of room for future research to validate and expand prior findings.
