“…These expected effects conform to previous results showing that prolonged standing induce long-lasting muscle fatigue (Garcia et al, 2015(Garcia et al, , 2016(Garcia et al, , 2018Wall et al, 2020), edema Antle et al, 2018;Garcia et al, 2018;Hansen et al, 1998;Wall et al, 2020;Zander et al, 2004), and discomfort (Garcia et al, 2015(Garcia et al, , 2018, Drury et al, 2008. However, in this field study, lower-leg muscle fatigue and edema were not yet significant after 6 hr of standing work, when wearing regular socks, while these effects were seen to appear within 3 hr of static standing work at an office workstation Garcia et al, 2015Garcia et al, , 2016Garcia et al, , 2018Wall et al, 2020). In this latter condition, lowerleg muscle fatigue was strongly present after 3 hr of light manual work including various rest break distributions (Garcia et al, 2015(Garcia et al, , 2016(Garcia et al, , 2018 regardless of age, gender, and habituation to standing work (Garcia et al, 2015;Wall et al, 2020); hence, these factors are not considered in the present work.…”

“…Lower-leg volume. This metric was obtained through a volumetric edema gage (ProHealthcareProducts, USA) as described in our previous studies (Garcia et al, 2018(Garcia et al, , 2020. The participants were asked to sit in an upright position and insert slowly their left lower leg in a tank filled with warm water until resting their foot on the floor with 90° knee and ankle angles.…”

Objective The goal of this study was to evaluate and compare lower-leg muscle fatigue, edema, and discomfort induced by the prolonged standing of security guards wearing regular socks and those wearing 15–20 or 20–30 mmHg compression stockings as intervention. Background Compression stockings are somewhat used by individuals standing all day at work. However, quantitative evidence showing their potential benefits for lower-leg health issues in healthy individuals during real working conditions is lacking. Method Forty male security employees participated in the study. All were randomly assigned to the control or one of the two intervention groups (I15–20 or I20–30). Lower-leg muscle twitch force, volume, and discomfort ratings were measured before and after their regular 12-hr standing work shift. Results Significant evidence of lower-leg long-lasting muscle fatigue, edema, and discomfort was observed after standing work for guards wearing regular socks. However, no significant changes were found for guards wearing either compression stockings. Conclusion In healthy individuals, compression stockings seem to attenuate efficiently the tested outcomes in the lower leg resulting from prolonged standing. Application Occupational activities requiring prolonged standing may benefit from 15–20 or 20–30 mmHg compression stockings. As similar benefits were observed for both levels of compression, the lower level may be sufficient.

“…Because only one high-quality RCT evaluated the combination of posture variation and a rest break and this study found no effect, there is limited evidence of no effect. Garcia, Lubli, and Martin (2018) assessed the duration and amplitude of muscle twitch force during a 5-hr simulated standing work with work–rest cycles with short, medium, or long standing periods including passive or active breaks. No significant differences in fatigue outcomes in the lower extremities were found between conditions.…”

Objective:We present a literature review on workplace physical fatigue interventions, focusing on evaluating the methodological quality and strength of evidence.Background:Physical fatigue is a recognized workplace problem, with negative effects on performance and health-related complaints. Although many studies have focused on the mechanisms and consequences of fatigue, few have considered the effectiveness of interventions to mitigate fatigue.Method:A systematic review of the workplace safety literature for controlled trials of physical fatigue interventions was conducted. Data on intervention type, subject characteristics, targeted tasks and body locations, outcome measures, and study design were extracted. The methodological quality for each study was evaluated using the PEDro scale, and the level of evidence was based on quality, amount, and consistency.Results:Forty-five controlled trials were reviewed, examining 18 interventions. We categorized those interventions into individual-focused ( N = 28 studies, nine interventions), workplace-focused ( N = 12 studies, five interventions), and multiple interventions ( N = 5 studies, four interventions). We identified moderate evidence for interventions related to assistive devices and task variation. There was moderate evidence supporting no fatigue attenuation for the garment change category of interventions. The interventions in the remaining categories had limited to minimal evidence of efficacy. The heterogeneity of the included trials precludes the determination of effect size.Conclusion:This review showed a lack of high levels of evidence for the effectiveness of most physical fatigue interventions.Application:Due to a lack of high levels of evidence for any category of reviewed physical fatigue interventions, further high-quality studies are needed to establish the efficacy of others.

“…Stresorji zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi se močno razlikujejo glede na zahtevnost delovnega mesta (Henrich, et al, 2017). Pomemben dejavnik stresa zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi je izmensko delo (Zhang, et al, 2017;Kagamiyama & Yano, 2018), zato je izjemnega pomena zadosten čas počitka po končanem delavniku (Tsuchiya, et al, 2017;Bae, et al, 2018;Garcia, et al, 2018). Počitek je zaradi dela, ki presega delovni čas, lahko skrajšan.…”

Uvod: Zaposleni v zdravstveni negi so izpostavljeni številnim dejavnikom stresa. V slovenskem prostoru doslej nismo imeli instrumenta za merjenje stresa med zaposlenimi v zdravstveni negi. Namen raziskave je bil validirati vprašalnika o merjenju stresorjev, ki so jim izpostavljeni zaposleni v zdravstveni negi v slovenskih bolnišnicah.Metode: Uporabljena je bila kvantitativna deskriptivna metoda, s kavzalno-neeksperimentalnim raziskovalnim dizajnom. Podatki so bili zbrani s pomočjo vprašalnikov »Lestvica za merjenje stresa« in »Stres na delovnem mestu bolnišničnih zdravstvenih delavcev«, združenih v merski instrument »Potencialni dejavniki stresa pri zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi«. Validacija vprašalnika je bila izvedena na priložnostnemvzorcu 983 zaposlenih v 21 slovenskih bolnišnicah. Podatki so analizirani z opisnimi metodami in faktorsko analizo.Rezultati: Z eksploratorno faktorsko analizo je preostalo 34 spremenljivk, ki pojasnijo 68 % celotne variabilnosti. Vrednosti Kaiser-Meyer-Olkinove mere primernosti vzorca in Bartletovega testa sferičnosti (KMO = 0,931, Bartlett: χ2(561) = 9670,501, p < 0,001) so se izkazale kot primerne za izvedbo eksploratorne faktorske analize, s katero smo dobili devet faktorjev. Vprašalnik je zanesljiv, vrednosti koeficienta Cronbach α se gibljejo na intervalu od 0,805 do 0,932.Diskusija in zaključek: Vprašalnik je zanesljiv in veljaven instrument za merjenje potencialnih stresorjev v zdravstveni negi v slovenskih bolnišnicah in odpira možnosti primerjav z veljavnimi instrumenti v tujini. Merilni instrument je namenjen managerjem v zdravstveni negi.

Muscular and Vascular Issues Induced by Prolonged Standing With Different Work–Rest Cycles With Active or Passive Breaks

Abstract: Prolonged standing is likely to contribute to musculoskeletal and vascular symptoms. A limitation to less than 3 hr of mostly static standing in occupational activities could avoid alterations leading to these symptoms.
