Perception Of Quality

Os Distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (DORT) são doenças crônicas causadas pelo trabalho extenuante, sem pausas, com posturas incorretas e movimentos repetitivos. Estudos mostram que portadores de doenças crônicas tendem a ter uma baixa qualidade de vida. Sendo assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a percepção da qualidade de vida de portadores de DORT no Estado de Sergipe, Brasil. A amostra foi composta por 17 trabalhadores aludidos nos Centros de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador do referido estado, no ano de 2013, os quais foram voluntários e responderam a um roteiro de entrevista elaborada pelos autores da pesquisa, e gravadas em áudio. Os resultados foram categorizados e descritos através da análise de conteúdo, o que permitiu a observação de que todos os aspectos de qualidade de vida demonstraram-se negativos. Considera-se que os trabalhadores avaliados nesta pesquisa possuem uma percepção negativa da qualidade de vida, o que influencia, também negativamente, no processo saúde e doença dos indivíduos.

The Relationship

This study aimed to investigate level of work ability and quality of life (QOL) as well as the relationship between them among patients suffering from work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in Taiwan. A cross-sectional study design with continuous sampling and a questionnaire were used to obtain the research data. Controlling for personal characteristics, pain, psychological distress, and social support, multiple linear regressions were adopted to explore the relationship between work ability and overall QOL. Further analyses were also made to clarify the relationships between work ability and each domain of QOL. In total, 165 patients with WMSDs were recruited. Compared with general workers, the participants reported a lower level of work ability and overall QOL. Work ability was significantly associated with overall QOL when covariates were controlled. Among the four domains of QOL, work ability was significantly associated with both the physical and psychological domains. The conclusion was that work ability is a definite factor of QOL for patients with WMSDs; the essence of work ability may be beyond economic function or social support. Strategies to help workers with WMSDs enhance their work ability to fit their new or temporary jobs would be beneficial to their QOL.

Lead Shielding

Ergonomics in interventional radiology has not been thoroughly evaluated. Like any operators, interventional radiologists are exposed to the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The use of lead shielding to radiation exposure and the lack of ergonomic principles developed so far contribute to these disorders, which may potentially affect their livelihoods, quality of life, and productivity. The objectives of this review were to describe the different situations encountered in interventional radiology and to compile the strategies both available to date and in development to improve ergonomics.
