Filter by:Research shows that the workplace is an important arena where much can be done to promote a sustainable working life while maintaining health. However, there is a lack of knowledge that is specific to dental care with regard to managers' and employees' perceptions of the work environment, systematic work environment management and work adaptations, as well as what measures in the workplace are necessary to create a health-promoting and sustainable work environment. There is also a lack of knowledge regarding what support employees and managers need in the systematic work environment management and what individual workplace adaptations that can work within dental care organizations.
Globally, work-related musculoskeletal symptoms (WRMSs) have become one of the major public health issues, with musculoskeletal problems contributing to the largest proportion of lost work productivity. Literature has reported that grassroots working-class workers (also known as low-skilled workers) are the most vulnerable group to WRMSs as their work mostly exposes them to the identified risk factors. However, not many intervention studies have been conducted for low-skilled workers to prevent WRMSs. Based on the concept of the multidimensional approach from the literature, and the project team's previous evidence-based research results, this project will modify the project team's face-to-face evidence-based musculoskeletal health promotion program to an online mode with 4 weekly 45-minute workshops for low-skilled workers in the community under the Covid-19 pandemic situation. Thus, the project has the following specific objectives: (i) To determine the feasibility of conducting the proposed online program (ii) To examine the acceptability and satisfaction of the online program from the workers' perspectives (iii) To evaluate the potential effects of the online program on the primary outcomes: compliance with exercise regimes, improvement of musculoskeletal literacy, and reduction of the number of body parts with WRMSs (iv) To evaluate the potential effects of the online program on the secondary outcomes: reduction of adverse workstyle, improvement of exercise self-efficacy, mental health, body mass index, hip-waist ratio, and blood pressure measurements
The aim is to investigate whether an internet-based compassion course of five modules contributes to reducing stress of conscience and work-related stress, increase the experience of professional quality of life and self-compassion in healthcare professionals.
Coronavirus has caused containment of more than half of the world's population and a major and rapid reorganization of clinical and support services. The spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) has posed significant challenges for occupational health services. However, there is currently no data on the influence of this epidemic on the practice and feelings of dental surgeons and associates
This study aim to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise at workplace for manual material handling workers. This is a randomized control trial study by cluster with three parallel groups (n=200). Participants will be randomized in three groups: (1) control group - will be receive ergonomics orientation . (2) Intervention group - exercise at workplace four times per week, during 15 minutes; (3) Intervention group 2 - exercise at workplace three times per week, during 15 minutes.Outcomes: The outcome measure will be verified in three moments at baseline, in six and eleven months of the intervention. The primary outcome is pain, electromyography. Secondary outcome is palmar dynamometer, BMI, physical activity level.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of intervention applying WHO Healthy Workplace Framework and Model to enhance the level of physical activity on employees. This research is an experimental intervention study recruiting two working types in four workplaces. Two working types are: (1) Working type A: Workers tend to be seated during work hours. Two telecommunications enterprises will respectively stand for the experiment group and the control group. (2) Working type B: Workers tend to be standing during work hours. Likewise, two different enterprises will respectively stand for the experiment group and the control group. Purposive sampling method will be used to select the experiment group. The intervention plan is to implement a cyclic or iterative process recommended by WHO.
