Examination of Pain, Posture, Physical and Mental Status in Seasonal Hazelnut Workers
The collection of hazelnuts grown in our country provides a great source of employment for local people and seasonal workers. However, geographical conditions in hazelnut growing areas, challenging variable weather conditions in August and insufficient number of workers create a disadvantageous environment for seasonal workers.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of working conditions on mental status, fatigue, pain severity and postures (posture disorders, developmental delays, etc.) of young adults working in Giresun during the hazelnut picking season in comparison with the group living in the same sociodemographic and cultural environment but not working as seasonal workers.
