Area of Science:

Occupational Health
Ergonomics
Nursing Practice

Background:

The nursing profession faces high rates of work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
Community nurses encounter unique occupational risks due to travel and varied work environments.
Specialized interventions are necessary to address these specific risks.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a tailor-made ergonomic intervention program for community nurses.
To assess the impact of a multifaceted ergonomic program on musculoskeletal symptoms and functional outcomes.

Main Methods:

A pilot study involved 26 community nurses in Hong Kong over 8 weeks.
The intervention group (n=14) received a comprehensive program including training, equipment modification, and advice.
The control group (n=12) received no intervention; both groups underwent assessments.

Main Results:

The intervention group demonstrated statistically significant improvements in symptom scores.
Significant enhancements in neck and upper limb functional outcomes were observed post-intervention.
The control group showed no changes in symptoms or functional outcomes.

Conclusions:

Multifaceted ergonomic interventions may be more effective than single-focus approaches.
This program, based on risk assessment, can serve as a reference for community and home care nurses globally.
