Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV01:26

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...
Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction01:29

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...

Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System I: Health History

The genitourinary system is critical to maintaining fluid balance, waste elimination, and reproductive function. Nurses play a vital role in assessing this system, beginning with a thorough health history. This process involves gathering patient information, identifying risk factors, and recognizing symptoms of genitourinary disorders. Early detection is vital for timely interventions and management.1. Gathering Patient InformationA complete health history includes the patient’s personal,...

Biomechanical Changes Related to Low Back Pain: An Innovative Tool for Movement Pattern Assessment and Treatment Evaluation in Rehabilitation

Published on: December 13, 2024

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Low back pain (LBP) is a global health concern, causing significant disability and work absence.
  • It affects all age groups and presents considerable social and economic burdens.
  • Postgraduate medical residents face unique occupational demands that may contribute to LBP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of LBP among postgraduate medical residents.
  • To identify specific risk factors associated with LBP in this population.
  • To inform targeted interventions for this high-risk group.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire.
  • 195 postgraduate medical residents completed the survey.
  • The questionnaire assessed demographic data and work-related risk factors for LBP.

Main Results:

  • The 1-year prevalence of LBP was 67.2%, with 15.4% experiencing pain at the time of the survey.
  • Significant associations were found between LBP and exercise, lifestyle, work satisfaction, and anxiety levels.
  • Major risk factors included prolonged sitting/working (74.4%), poor posture (72.8%), fatigue (64.6%), and inadequate mattress (53.8%).

Conclusions:

  • Postgraduate medical residents exhibit a high prevalence of LBP, indicating a significant occupational health issue.
  • Factors such as prolonged sitting, poor posture, and fatigue are strongly linked to LBP in this cohort.
  • Addressing these occupational hazards is crucial to mitigate LBP among medical residents.
