“…More in details, both scenarios showed similar results for the highest values: the most important exposures for workers are the musculoskeletal disorders (± 16,000 hours of exposure to the risk of back pain, followed by ± 12,000 hours of neck and shoulder pain), with a strong association (1.7<OR<8) (Bovenzi and Betta, 1994;Domenighetti et al, 2000;Stock et al, 2006;Raeisi et al, 2014).…”

Olive growing is the most important agricultural activity in Italy, representing, in 2010, 56% of Italian farms and 76% of land used for permanent crops. Producing high-quality products, such as healthy and socially responsible produces, while containing costs, is the current market challenge, and evaluation tools are of utmost importance to help farmers shaping management practices to obtain competitive prod-ucts. This study applies Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and social Life Cycle Assessment (sLCA) as evaluation tools to compare the socio-economic impacts of organic and conventional farming systems of the Italian olive growing. Results showed a similar level of economic profitability in both scenarios, due to the public subsidies for organic farming, which balanced higher production costs. From a social point of view, some differences have been highlighted: organic farming would be suitable not only to increase incomes but also to improve the occupational health of the people involved. ,, Falcone,, Bruno Francesco, Anna Irene De Luca

Background:Considering the importance of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) as one of the health consequences of job stress among nurses and significant contradictions in prevalence in different parts of the body, this study was carried out to determine the prevalence of MSDs among Iranian nurses.Methods:All published studies from June 2000 until June 2015 were considered in reliable databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Google search, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Persian databases such as SID, Iran Medex, and Magiran. These studies, after quality control, were entered into meta-analysis using the random effects model, a total of 41 papers were assessed between 2004 and 2015.Results:The prevalence rate of these disorders was 60.98%, 47.76%, 46.53%, 44.64%, 42.8%, 36.8%, 24.61%, and 17.5%, respectively, obtained for the back, neck, knees, upper back, ankles, shoulders, hands, hips, thighs, and elbows. Prevalence of MSDs will lead to high costs of medical, absenteeism from work, or even unemployment.Conclusions:Due to high prevalence of these disorders among Iranian nurses, providing effective training in the field of ergonomics and undergoing appropriate exercises are necessary to control it.

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders are one of the most common and costly occupational injuries. Nursing profession, considering the nature of the work, is one of the occupations in hospital in which work-related musculoskeletal disorders are highly prevalent. This review study was conducted to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among Iranian nurses. Materials and methods: The present study was conducted on the basis of the PRISMA checklist for systematic review and meta-analysis. To access eligible articles, domestic and foreign databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, PUBMED, Magiran, SID, Medlib Irandoc, and the Google scholar search engine and keywords of musculoskeletal disorders, ergonomics, nurses, and Iran were used. In this review, two researchers reviewed the relevant articles published from 2000 to 2017. At first, 1349 papers were entered but finally, 33 eligible articles were analyzed. Data analysis was carried out using STATA software (ver. 11.5). Findings: The results of the review of 33 eligible articles showed that the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and low back pain in nurses were 0.84 (95% CI: 0.83-0.95) and 0.60 (95% CI: 0.60-0.61) respectively. Conclusion: The results of the previous studies revealed that the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, especially low back pain in nurses, is high. Therefore, planning and intervention should be performed to prevent and reduce musculoskeletal disorders in nurses.
