Factors affecting preventive behaviours of the complications of musculoskeletal disorders in industry workers: a qualitative study from Iran.

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the workplace are a major health problem which is significantly related to the adverse effects on the workforce's health in different occupations, including the petrochemical industry employees. Many health behaviors can play a significant role in preventing complications caused by MSDs; however, in developing countries such as Iran, there is a lack of clarity about the factors affecting the prevention of complications from these disorders from the perspective of petrochemical industry employees. This study aimed to investigate effective factors to prevent complications caused by MSDs in petrochemical industry workers in Iran.

Full-time housework includes long hours of musculoskeletal effort that can lead to intense pain, poor workability, stress and reduced quality of life. A comprehensive intervention that included biomechanical and psychosocial educational training was designed and evaluated using a four-arm randomized control trial. A total of 160 housewives recruited from a musculoskeletal disorders clinic were randomly assigned to one of four intervention groups: control, biomechanical, psychosocial and comprehensive (biomechanical and psychosocial).

Behavioral risk assessment of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among workers of petrochemical industries: protocol of a mixed method study.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the most common occupational diseases and the main cause of disability worldwide. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are one of the common health risks and the most important cause of absenteeism due to disability in various industries, including the petrochemical industry, in developed and developing countries. These disorders have important social economic, and significant financial consequences due to direct and hidden costs.

Effects of E-learning for Postural Education in Music Students (El-Poems): A Randomized Controlled Trial Among Iranian Adolescents.

Aims: Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain represents a major health problem facing music students worldwide. There is some evidence that posture education could be effective in reducing pain and disability among music students. The aim of this study was to assess the effective¬ness of E-learning for posture education in music students (El-Poems) on the presence of MSK pain, MSK pain intensity, as well as postural behavior.

The Ergonomic Behaviors Evaluation Tool (EBET) based on social cognitive theory for the assembly line workers: development and psychometric assessment.

Background: Ergonomic behaviors play a crucial role in preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). To measure these behaviors, this research aimed to develop and evaluate an ergonomic behaviors tool (EBET) based on the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) among women workers on assembly lines (WwAL).

Methods: The study was conducted from December 2022 to January 2023 with a focus on the psychometric assessment of EBET.

Effectiveness of a theory-based educational intervention on work-related musculoskeletal disorders preventive behaviors among assembly-line female workers: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: The use of preventive behaviors of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) requires proper training, which leads to correct decisions regarding maintaining postures at work and performing stretching exercises. Due to very repetitive work, applying manual force, improper postures, and static contractions of proximal muscles, assembly-line female workers suffer from musculoskeletal pains. It is assumed that structured and theory-based educational intervention using a learning-by-doing (LBD) approach may increase the preventive behaviors against MSDs and reduce the consequences of these disorders.

Development and psychometric properties of the HBM-based substance abuse prevention questionnaire (HBM-SAPQA) among Afghanian students.

In Afghanistan, adolescents and young people are the most important at risk groups for substance abuse. Considering the importance of model-based interventions in this group, this study aims to design and validate a questionnaire based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) for assessing the beliefs of Afghan students regarding substance abuse prevention behavior. This study was conducted in two stages.

Educational intervention program based on health belief model and neck pain prevention behaviors in school teachers in Tehran.

Background: Prevention of musculoskeletal disorders as one of the most common occupational health problems among the working population in both developed and developing countries is an important necessity and priority. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention program based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) to increase awareness, perceived sensitivity, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy in adopting neck health-promoting behaviors in school teachers.

Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental of the randomized clinical trial that was conducted for 6 months (December 2020 to July 2021).

Impact of El-Poems study: the e-learning for postural education in music students: a randomized controlled trial protocol.

Background: Musculoskeletal pain (MP) has today intensified in a large proportion of music students in Iran. Poor posture while playing an instrument is thus assumed as a very significant risk factor affecting such a condition in this population. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of electronic learning (e-learning) for postural education to music students on posture behavior and MP (abbreviated as an El-Poems study).

Educational intervention for the prevention of occupational neck pain: protocol of randomized trial.

Background: Neck pain is one of the most common work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). It has important social and economic consequences such as reduced productivity due to absenteeism, leave, and early retirement and financial losses due to medical expenses for the workforce especially teachers. This study aims to evaluate whether a model-based social media intervention could change the high-risk behaviors that cause work-related neck pain among teachers.

Effects of School-Based Educational Program on Backpack Carrying Behavior in Teenage Students.

One of the most serious issues is the growing prevalence of backaches among adolescent students as a result of carrying backpacks. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of an education program (remedial information) on the school backpack carrying habits of adolescent students. The study sample consisted of 138 adolescent students aged 12 to 16 from 4 schools who were randomly assigned to either the experimental (N = 69) or control (N = 69) groups.

Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial to improve the quality of life of housewives with musculoskeletal disorders: a health promotion intervention based on a participatory ergonomic approach-the Housewives Ergonomic Intervention (HEI) trial.

Background: A variety of household chores expose women to a variety of biomechanical and psychosocial risk factors. A result of this is many housewives with musculoskeletal disorders. Given the interactive effects of these risk factors, it is necessary to consider multiple strategies to mitigate their effects.
