    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Ergonomics
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Low back pain is a leading cause of work absence and associated social costs, particularly affecting healthcare professionals.
    • Skeletal muscle damage impacts 8-16% of nursing and care staff, limiting their ability to work.
    • The Campania Region initiated a structural adjustment program to enhance social and healthcare institutions.

    • To implement and evaluate a structural adjustment program in healthcare settings.
    • To optimize work organization and reduce low back pain incidence.
    • To assess the impact of ergonomic principles on preventing work-related disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a structural adjustment program in Azienda Sanitaria Locale Napoli 2 North, District 39.
    • Focus on optimizing work organization and improving the practicality and usability of spaces.
    • Evaluation of program compliance with ergonomic principles.

    Main Results:

    • The program targeted work organization optimization and reduction of low back pain.
    • Evaluation demonstrated that adherence to ergonomic principles prevents psychological and physical disorders.
    • Improved workplace design is linked to reduced work-related health issues.

    Conclusions:

    • Ergonomic principles are crucial for preventing work-related physical and psychological disorders in healthcare settings.
    • Optimizing workplace organization and design can significantly reduce low back pain among healthcare staff.
    • Structural adjustment programs incorporating ergonomics can improve staff well-being and reduce absenteeism.
