“…This research also supports the utility of a social constructionist perspective to policy development (Harrison et al, 2013). The extensive evidence regarding shortcomings of rural areas and the associated negative health implications (e.g., Davidsson & Södergård, 2016; Meit et al, 2014) underscores the urgency to attend to rural well-being.…”

Through this constructivist grounded theory study, it was our purpose to create a substantive theory to explain how rural-dwelling, working-age adults with disabilities define and pursue well-being. Twelve rural-dwelling participants were interviewed up to 3 times to understand the processes involved in defining and pursuing well-being. From this exploration, we suggest that well-being is not a set state to be achieved and then enjoyed, rather well-being results from establishing and maintaining membership in the rural community. Membership facilitated access to the array of material and psychological supports needed for a sense of well-being. Findings support the assumption that urban models of care are insufficient for rural areas. This study also provides an understanding of how individuals in this population mobilize resources to overcome functional limitations and environmental barriers to establish group membership and create a sense of well-being. Implications for health care practice and policy are discussed.

“…It can be attributed to the fact that people with more work experience are more prone to accidents. Harrison et al also indicated a direct correlation between occupational accidents and work experiences Discussion (35). The results showed that only traumatic backache during changing the position of patients was significantly correlated with work shift (P<0.05), and other incidents did not have a relationship with work shift.…”

One of the major safety concerns is the occupational accident which is an unexpected and unplanned occurrence in the course of work. Millions of occupational accidents take place around the world every year. Some of these accidents cause death and some others lead to temporary or permanent disability (1). Today, safety in the industry and labor, especially in industrialized countries, has found its true place as a critical issue (2).Most of occupational accidents are

Context:Occupational injuries constitute a global health challenge, yet they receive comparatively modest scientific attention. Pattern of occupational injuries and its safety precautions among wagon repair workers is an important health issue, especially in developing countries like India.Aims:To assess the pattern of occupational injuries and utilization of safety measures among railway wagon repair workshop workers in Jhansi (U.P.).Settings and Design:Railway wagon repair workshop urban area, Jhansi (U.P). Occupation-based cross-sectional study.Patients and Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among 309 workers of railway workshop in Jhansi (U.P.) who were all injured during the study period of 1 year from July 2015 to June 2016. Baseline characteristics, pattern of occupational injuries, safety measures, and their availability to and utilization by the participants were assessed using a pretested structured questionnaire.Statistical Analysis Used:Data obtained were collected and analyzed statistically by simple proportions and Chi-square test.Results:The majority of studied workers aged between 38 and 47 years (n = 93, 30.6%) followed by 28–37 years (n = 79, 26%). Among the pattern of occupational injuries, laceration (28.7%) was most common followed by abrasion/scratch (21%). Safety shoes and hat were utilized 100% by all workers. Many of them had more than 5 years of experience (n = 237, 78%). Age group, education level, and utilization of safety measures were significantly associated with pattern of occupational injuries in univariate analysis (P < 0.05).Conclusions:Occupational injuries are high and utilization of safety measures is low among workers on railway wagon repair workshop, which highlights the importance of strengthening safety regulatory services toward this group of workers. Younger age group workers show a significant association with open wounds and surface wounds. As the education level of workers increases, the incidence of injuries decreases. Apart from shoes, hat, and gloves, regular utilization of other personal protective equipment was not seen.
