“…Although the content of educational program was carefully derived from well recognized ergonomic literature and confirmed by expert panel, it seems that this education could help the participants in intervention group to become aware of the ergonomic problems natured in their job and then to link these problems to MSDs, therefore, this explanation could be another reason for increased VAS scores among intervention group. With this regard, the result of the current study regarding MSDs is similar to previous researches (48)(49)(50)(51)(52).…”

“…Therefore, beyond the MSDs self-report results, the study has focused on other outcome variables such as RULA scores, and stage change theory constructs. Furthermore, there are evidences that training, and even use of back belts are not always effective in reducing caregiver injuries (47)(48)(49). Given the complexity of MSDs, multifaceted programs are more likely to be effective than any single intervention (50).…”

Objective: This study evaluated the effects of a designed stage-matched educational program based on stage of change model on knowledge, attitude, intention and behaviours of Iranian computer users. Materials and Methods: Of four computer stations affiliated to Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, two sites were randomly selected as intervention and control ones, each 75 eligible computer users were randomly selected and if satisfied, they were entered into the study. The participants working in intervention site received the stage-matched intervention. Questionnaires of stages of change, ergo-knowledge/attitude, intent towards ergonomic and postural behaviour, Rapid Upper Limp Assessment (RULA), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the Nordic questionnaire were completed at baseline and 3-month follow up. Data were entered to SPSS and analyzed through descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: A total of 150 participants with a mean age of 31.6 years (SD=7.0) took part in the study of which 67% (n=101) were female. The intervention group, compared to control group, showed significant improvements in stages of change (p<0.001), ergo-knowledge (p<0.001), attitude (p< 0.05), intent (p<0.001), and perceived behaviours control (p<0.001).

Use of Physical Restraints in a Rehabilitation Setting: Findings from a Point Prevalence Survey

A point prevalence survey among 125 patients in two units of a rehabilitation facility showed that the physical restraint rate was 12.8% (n=16). The survey examined the reason(s) for restraint use, whether its use had been explained, consent obtained and documented, whether the restraint had been appropriately applied and patients monitored during the period when restraint was applied, and whether alternatives had been attempted. Interestingly, six patients were found to have had their restraints removed either before or after the survey. A slightly less restrictive form of restraint, boxing gloves, was used for seven patients instead of limbs holders. Three patients remained restrained. The results of this study revealed that there was room for improvement in practice of restraints, and that measures to reduce the use of restraints were not necessarily very costly. Applying physical restraints is counter-productive to rehabilitative care. Nurses and other health disciplines need to be better informed regarding restraint reduction programs.
