Fatemeh Dadashi phd student in health education & promotion, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran. Journal Article 1970 01 01 According to the statute of the World Health Organization (WHO), health is considered as an individual and social value, and one of the most obvious human rights and needs. The carriage of heavy schoolbags by children is a concern for all those involved in student health and well-being. Backpacks are the most commonly used type of bag, and overweight backpacks are associated with several health issues, including increased spinal curvature, discomfort, and back and shoulder pain while the majority of students were carrying as much as 30% to 40% of their body weight. In this way posture modifications have been reported when children carry a load that corresponds to more than 10% of their body . In addition Items carried by students in their daily school bags have been found to include, but are not limited to books, pencil cases, scientific calculators, and sport-specific training clothing, lunch boxes and full water bottles. Even an empty backpack can distort posture and cause pain. There is no way to safely carry weight in a backpack, no matter how light the load, because it disrupts our body mechanics by design .

Ali Montazeri Health Metrics Research Center, Iranian Institute for Health Sciences Research, ACECR, Tehran, Iran. Journal Article 1970 01 01 Aim:LBP in the nursing profession remains an important health issue. This study aims to assess whether a theory-based interactive social media intervention could change job-related risk behaviors among nursing personnel. Instrument and Methods: This is a community-randomized controlled trial. Three settings of hospitals will randomly be assigned to the study arms: Intervention setting 1 receiving an in-person educational package; intervention setting 2 receiving the same material a web-based, and a control setting receiving nothing. The intervention would contain materials related to occupational risk behaviors and will try to promote the knowledge, attitude, skill, and self-efficacy of nurses on low back pain (LBP) preventive behaviors. The primary outcome will be reduction in low back pain. The study also will assess whether the intervention could reduce pain-related disability and improve the quality of life. Discussion:Occupational (LBP) among nurses could adversely affect both patients’ and nurses’ health. This study is an attempt to see if social media could play a role to guide the development and implementation of future interventions.

This study aimed to assess if self –efficacy could be the best predictor for back Pain Prevention Behavior among health care workers. Method and Instruments: In this cross-sectional study, 452 healthcare workers who were working in different wards of the 6 general hospitals affiliated to Qom University of Medical Sciences were randomly selected through convenience sampling method. Data were collected through 3 scales such as demographic questionnaire, Work Related Low Back Pain Predictors Questionnaire (WRLBPPQ) and a checklist for assessing the preventive behaviors of spinal damage and analyzed through descriptive and analytic tests through SPSS version 16. Finding: A total of 452 individuals participated in the study (289 males and 163 females) with a mean age of 37± 8.3 years. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that self-efficacy was the most important predictor for back Pain Prevention Behavior (Standardized Coefficients: 0.218, P value < 0.0001) Conclusion: The results of this study can be used to develop an education program based on self-efficacy training/promoting among healthcare workers.

Methods and Instrument: The present study included 70 hands (40 hands with clinical evidence of idiopathic CTS and 30 hands as control group). The following tests were done for both groups: 1- Sensory nerve conduction study: median nerve, ulnar nerve, median versus ulnar latency difference between second and fifth digits, median versus ulnar latency difference (ring finger) 2- Motor nerve conduction study: median nerve, ulnar nerve, median versus ulnar motor latency difference. Findings: The most sensitive (92%) two tests were median-ulnar sensory latency difference recorded from second and fifth digits and median-ulnar sensory latency difference recorded from fourth digit, while median-ulnar motor latency difference and median motor latency showed lowest sensitivity (61, 53%) respectively. Conclusion: Median-ulnar sensory latency difference recorded from digit two and digit five and that recorded from digit 4 have highest sensitivity for early detection of CTS. Keywords: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome; Median Versus Ulnar Latency Differences; Nerve Conduction Study.
