Impact of Workstation Exercise and Ergonomic Exercise on Nursing Population – A Randomized Clinical Trial Research Protocol

Abstract

BackgroundNursing workers represent a significant proportion of the hospital workforce. In recent times, focus is put on increasing efficacy with reducing the concurrent risks in this population. Many researches imply on including workplace modifications and various exercises to reduce the number of absenteeism and heighten the quality in work. As low back ache is the most prevalent, this study targets on determining the effects of workstation exercise and ergonomic intervention on it.Purpose -Nursing staff is the base of primary healthcare provision in the Indian background. The most common reason for early retirement, sickness absenteeism, and decline in working population in nurses is low back pain. With proper evidence, the efficacy of workstation activities in nursing staff will mitigate or eliminate this issue in the area of healthcare.Methods: There will be 3 groups, workstation exercise group, ergonomic modification group and a control group each consisting of 40 patients selected from a fixed criterion. They will be graded with a QOL scale and a pain scale during the start of treatment and after 2 months to compare the results and determine which therapy gets better results.Results: Statistical analysis will be done after the study's completed by use of concise and inferential tests use Student'sdistribution t test on single and combined analysis, one-way Analysis of Variance (F) ANOVA test and Multiple Comparison: Turkey Test and analytical tools is SPSS24.0 version and Graph Pad Prism 6.0 version and p<0.05 is known as value point.Conclusions: Both the ergonomic training and workstation exercises will result in reduction of low back pain with workstation exercises proving more effective. The Publication will be done after conducting the study and obtaining the results through the statistical analysis.

Ergonomic Intervention Practice at the Workplace in Asian boundary: A systematic review

“…Our results also found several high-impact articles that employed the quasi-experimental method to compare the control group with the main group or other relevant groups (Dhole et al, 2021;Esmaeili et al, 2023;Heidarimoghadam et al, 2020;Hijam et al, 2020;Lin et al, 2022;Mohammad Yusof et al, 2021;Motamedzadeh et al, 2021;So et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2021). Such an approach allows for a rigorous examination of the effects of interventions and facilitates a comprehensive analysis of the research findings.…”

“…Findings from the synthesis analysis indicated that ergonomic interventions have been frequently employed in Asian countries via three distinct approaches: device or tool-based interventions, administrative interventions, and a combination of both. As shown in Table 4, seven articles explored the utilization of devices or tools as a means of ergonomic intervention (Alipour et al, 2021;Antwi-Afari et al, 2021;Arunkumar et al, 2019;Darliana et al, 2020;Kong et al, 2023;Mohammad Yusof et al, 2021;Ramdan & Candra, 2021), seven articles focused on the use of administration (Alghadir et al, 2021;Anshasi et al, 2022;Dhole et al, 2021;Heidarimoghadam et Hijam et al, 2020;Lin et al, 2022;Rahman et al, 2019), and eight articles used a combination of both approaches (Esmaeili et al, 2023;Kee, 2022;Motamedzadeh et al, 2021;Rostami et al, 2022;So et al, 2019;Susihono & Adiatmika, 2021;Susihono & Gede, 2020;Yang et al, 2021).…”

“…Nonetheless, several scholarly articles have underscored the importance of periodic follow-up assessments to ensure their efficiency and sustainability (Esmaeili et al, 2023;Heidarimoghadam et al, 2020;Lin et al, 2022;Ramdan & Candra, 2021;Susihono & Adiatmika, 2021;Susihono & Gede, 2020;Yang et al, 2021). In terms of sample size or participant selection, certain articles employed mathematical formula to ascertain sample size (Dhole et al, 2021;Heidarimoghadam et al, 2020;Hijam et al, 2020;Lin et al, 2022;Mohammad Yusof et al, 2021;Rostami et al, 2022;So et al, 2019) while others either utilized the inclusion and exclusion criteria (Alghadir et al, 2021;Alipour et al, 2021;Antwi-Afari et al, 2021;Esmaeili et al, 2023;Kee, 2022;Kong et al, 2023;Motamedzadeh et al, 2021;Rahman et al, 2019;Ramdan & Candra, 2021;Susihono & Adiatmika, 2021;Susihono & Gede, 2020;Yang et al, 2021) or did not explicitly specify their sampling approach (Anshasi et al, 2022;Arunkumar et al, 2019;Darliana et al, 2020). Further analysis of the years of publication showed that a total of nine articles were published in 2021, which was the highest between 2018 to 2023.…”
