ABSTRACT This study aims to obtain empirical information about the implementation of Minangkabau inheritance law towards Minang settled foreigner in Minang Family Association (IKM) Depok City. This study uses quantitative methods and extension of existing data, interviews, and documentation. Based on research results show the community of settled foreigner in IKM Depok city over low treasures or livelihoods vary in the practice of inheritance law. The heirs in Minangkabau inheritance law in the livelihoods of this study are four groups. First, the heirs who use Islamic law, which women get half of men. Secondly, the heirs are equally distributed inheritance rights of each child. Third, women get more than men. Fourth, heirs for women only, so all the livelihood of parents is delegated only for women. So it can be concluded that the implementation of Minangkabau inheritance law in Minang settled foreigner in IKM Depok City vary. This difference occurs because the background of the pattern of life and mindset within each family. Patterns of life and mindset that make a person or family apply inheritance law according to customary law, religious law, or positive law. Keywords: inheritance law, Minangkabau inheritance law, Minang settled foreigner

Comparison of Electrical Resistivity of Soots Formed by Combustion of Kerosene, Diesel, Aviation Fuel and their Mixtures
Authors: Agbasi Okechukwu E.
Published: February 2021

This research paper presents analysis of electrical resistivity values of soots formed by combustion of kerosene, diesel fuel, aviation fuel (Jet A.1), that of kerosene -diesel mixtures at different proportions and that of aviation fuel (Jet A.1)-diesel mixtures at various percentages. The results of the analysis reveal that soots formed by combusting kerosene, diesel, aviation fuel (Jet A.1) and their respective mixtures have electrical resistivity values ranging from 3.516 x 10-1Ωm to 1.836 x 10-1 Ωm . Soot from diesel fuel has the lowest value whereas soot from kerosene has the highest value of electrical resistivity. The obtained values are within the range of electrical resistivity values for materials classified as semiconductors. Electrical resistivity varies non-linearly with percentage composition of mixture constituents for soot formed by combusting kerosene-diesel mixture or aviation fuel (Jet A.1)-diesel mixture. Soot produced by combustion of pure diesel fuel has less resistivity value, indicating higher conductivity than soot obtained from the burning of aviation fuel whereas soot got from the combustion of kerosene exhibits higher electrical resistivity value than the former. This work has provided a database on the electrical resistivity values of soot (kerosene, diesel fuel, aviation fuel (Jet A.1)) formed as a result of combustion of some fuels and their mixtures for probable utilization by electrical, electronics and petroleum industries. Such database is being reported for the first time, hence making this research work a novel.
Relationship between Smoking and Obstructive Airways Disease
Authors: Karthika M
Published: February 2021

Obstructive airways disease is an important cause of mortality and morbidity around the world and smoking has a significant role in the development and progression of the disease. Objective: To analyse the relationship between smoking and obstructive airways disease. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 patients with obstructive airways disease attending Respiratory Medicine outpatient services in Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal from January 2015 to September 2016. Patients aged 18-67 were included in the study after obtaining Ethical approval from the Research Ethics Board, RIMS, Imphal. Computerized Spirometer Helios 401 was the instrument used to measure lung volumes and capacities. Results and observation: The present study was conducted on 100 patients with obstructive airways disease. The lung function test values of OAD patients showed that FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC values were within normal limits. But FEF25-75%, and PEFR were lower suggesting that smaller airways were affected in obstructive airway disease. In our study we found that OAD was strongly associated with smoking status(p<0.001), smoking pack-years(p=0.000), and smoking duration(p<0.001). Conclusion: From the study results we conclude that that Obstructive airway disease was strongly associated with smoking. Smoking cessation is the best and most effective solution to this problem. Other measures such as screening with spirometric tests in high risk individuals especially the smokers in age group of 40-55 should be considered to reduce the mortality and morbidity due to Obstructive airway disease.

Background: High risk pregnancy is broadly defined as one in which mother, fetus or newborn is or will beat increased risk for morbidity or mortality before or after delivery. According to WHO, globally about 830women die from pregnancy or childbirth-related complications every day. About 20-30% of all pregnanciesbelong to high-risk category, which is responsible for 70–80% of perinatal mortality and morbidity.Hence, the current study was done to determine the prevalence of high-risk pregnancies and associated highrisk factors among antenatal women in a tertiary care centre of central India.Aims & Objectives: To know the prevalence of high-risk pregnancies and associated high risk factors.Materials and methods: Ethics approval to conduct the study was obtained from the Institutional EthicsCommittee. It is a record-based retrospective longitudinal study done among 3898 antenatal women whohave attended/ referred to our tertiary care institute, Bundelkhand Medical College, Sagar, M.P. duringFebruary 2020 to May 2020.High-risk pregnancy was classified based on the guidelines from the Pradhan Mantri Surakshit MatritvaAbhiyan.Results: Among 3898 antenatal case record reviewed. Results of this study show that the prevalence ofhigh-risk pregnancy among study participants was 16.54%.Most of the pregnant women were in age group of 20-35 years that is 94.72%.Most of the pregnant women were multigravida 57.20% by gestation.Regarding obstetric and neonatal outcomes, majority had normal vaginal delivery (60.6%). The mostcommon high risk factors were history of previous cesarean section 31.94 %, Hypertension in Pregnancy22.17% & Abnormal Presentation were 13.95%.Conclusion: The current study found that almost one-sixth (16.54%) of the pregnant women have highriskpregnancy.

Authors: YUKSEL Serhat , DİNÇER Hasan
Published: February 2021

This study aims to analyze the customer expectations in E7 banking industry. For this purpose, 8 different criteria are selected and weighted by using fuzzy ANP approach. The results show that pricing policies ease of access and security are important factors that affect customer satisfaction in banking industry. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that banks should charge affordable prices because the customers give significance to the cost in banking activities. Another important point is that banks should open enough branches and ATMs in critical locations since the ease of access is an essential issue for the customers. Finally, these banks should invest in IT development so that there should not be any risk about the security. By considering these issues, it can be much easier for the banks to meet the expectations of the customers.

Published: February 2021

AIM: This paper aimed at assessing the quality of life (QoL) among beta (β)-thalassemia major patients using the short-form-36questionnaire (SF-36) and determining the factors associated with it.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among β-thalassemia major patients who were attending the hematology outpatient clinic at Cairo University Hospital using the consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected between October 2016 and March 2017. The QoL was assessed for patients aged ≥17 years. During the study period, a total number of 112 patients were included for participation.
RESULTS: The mean age of the studied group was 18.32 ± 1.33 years. Most of the included patients (93.63%) had 1 monthly blood transfusion. The mean total score of SF-36 was 44.90 ± 7.54. Among the QoL domains of the studied patients, the “general health perception” domain was the most affected one with a mean score of (add the value of the score here), while the “vitality” domain was the least affected one. No statistically significant difference was reported between males and females regarding different QoL domains except for the “vitality” domain which mean score was significantly higher in males compared to females (p = 0.05). The age at onset of the disease and at first blood transfusion was the most documented factors to be positively correlated with the QoL among the studied patients.
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that the QoL in thalassemia major patients is compromised. QoL assessment should be performed for all thalassemia patients to determine and implement the necessary interventions that focus on the affected domains.
Quand Amour et Argent doivent rimer au quotidien… Un agenda de recherche sur la gestion des finances au sein des couples
Authors: Benmoyal-Bouzaglo Sarah , Paraschiv Corina
Published: February 2021

La recherche en comportement du consommateur revête souvent une dimension individuelle, ignorant ainsi la dynamique décisionnelle liée à la gestion des finances au sein du couple. Cette dynamique apparait pourtant comme essentielle dans l’explication des décisions de consommation des ménages. À l’heure actuelle, seulement un nombre réduit de travaux de recherche s’est penché sur cette problématique, un constat d’autant plus vrai lorsque l’on s’intéresse à la littérature française. Cet article propose une revue de littérature sur le comportement du consommateur, intégrant une perspective pluridisciplinaire qui permet d’identifier les différentes facettes du sujet et de mieux comprendre l’état des connaissances actuelles sur la gestion des finances au sein du couple. Notre travail d’analyse permet de mettre à jour des perspectives de recherche prometteuses et de souligner les contributions des travaux futurs sur ce thème, afin de mieux accompagner les couples au cours des différentes étapes de leur cycle de vie conjugale.
Le système seigneurial ou la transsubstantiation de la valeur d’usage en valeur d’échange
Authors: Demade Julien
Published: February 2021

Si, puisque la monnaie y fait désormais fonction d’équivalent général, la valeur d’échange est au cœur du système seigneurial ( xii e - xvii e  siècles), c’est cependant d’une façon qui n’a rien à voir avec le rôle que lui donnera le capitalisme : alors que dans ce dernier elle représente la forme normale de rapport à la valeur – de même que dans le système domanial ( v e - xi e  siècles) la valeur d’usage était la forme normale de rapport à la valeur –, dans le système seigneurial le rapport à la valeur est bifide parce qu’il oppose une production effectuée comme valeur d’usage à une ponction réalisée comme valeur d’échange. La domination, dans le système seigneurial, repose donc sur la maîtrise de la valeur d’échange en tant que cette valeur d’échange n’est pas généralisée.
Les confréries et l’intégration des immigrants à Avignon (XIV e -XV e siècles)
Authors: Lv Zhao
Published: February 2021

À la suite de l’arrivée de la Cour pontificale au début du xiv e siècle, Avignon accueille continûment des immigrants d’origines diverses, et la plupart de ses habitants sont de nouveaux arrivants à la fin du Moyen Âge. Les confréries fleurissent dans ce contexte et participent à l’intégration des immigrants. Elles diffusent un bilinguisme composé de provençal et de français qui permet la communication entre les citadins. En outre, elles participent à un apaisement des relations sociales et de pouvoir entre les groupes internes par l’exercice de la solidarité communautaire. En encourageant les sociabilités fondées sur celle-ci, elles conduisent de façons inégales à l’intégration des ceux qui y participent et à la ségrégation de ceux qui s’y refusent.
Démolition controversée, entre revendication et droit d’auteur. L’histoire d’un ensemble de logements sociaux à Bollate (Milan)
Authors: Merlini Chiara
Published: February 2021

Le discours sur la démolition recourt généralement à des registres émotionnels et génère des conflits. Cela est particulièrement évident dans les débats autour de l’avenir des quartiers de logements sociaux, fortement influencé par des images stigmatisantes et sur lequel l’investissement symbolique est considérable, tant pour les habitants que pour les institutions publiques. Lorsque l’objet en question est une « architecture d’auteur », la controverse met nettement en lumière un conflit entre différentes valeurs : d’une part, les valeurs de confort et d’habitabilité, soutenues essentiellement par les habitants, d’autre part la valeur culturelle, qui reconnaît dans un artefact un patrimoine collectif, soutenu avant tout par les élites intellectuelles. C’est ce qui ressort du cas étudié ici : une hypothèse de démolition concernant un ensemble de logements sociaux construit à Bollate, près de Milan, par l’architecte Guido Canella entre 1974 et 1980. La mobilisation directe de l’architecte, qui pallie l’absence de reconnaissance collective par la revendication d’un « droit d’auteur », est une spécificité intéressante de cette histoire.
Éducation inclusive : initiative de formation menée au Canada et interrogations sur les difficultés encourues en cherchant à soutenir la « voix » de l’élève
Authors: Farmer Diane , Connelly Christine , Greenblatt Miriam
Published: February 2021

Ce texte est issu d’une initiative de formation sur l’éducation inclusive réalisée auprès du personnel enseignant de deux écoles de langue française à Toronto. L’éducation inclusive vise à mettre en œuvre des pratiques d’enseignement sensibles à la culture des élèves et à lutter contre toutes formes de discrimination. Si les principes d’une éducation inclusive sont formalisés dans le cadre d’une politique ministérielle, les enjeux liés à leur mise en pratique dans le quotidien de la salle de classe sont nombreux. C’est dans l’optique d’un accompagnement que nous avons facilité cette formation dans laquelle le personnel enseignant a développé divers projets en salle de classe sur une période d’une année scolaire. Nous présenterons en première partie le modèle de formation développé et chercherons à approfondir en deuxième partie un enjeu soulevé par une équipe enseignante : soutenir la voix de l’élève dans cette démarche d’éducation inclusive. Nous interrogerons la notion contentieuse de la voix de l’enfant ou de l’élève ici, un domaine d’intervention ciblé par l’éducation inclusive. Comment peut-on s’y prendre pour aborder la discrimination sans pour autant réduire les groupes discriminés au statut de victime ? Comment soutenir la voix des élèves dans une démarche d’éducation inclusive ? Ces grandes questions viennent orienter la réflexion d’ensemble qui est ici proposée.
De la classe d’accueil à la classe ordinaire : une expérience de « bien-être » ? Étude qualitative auprès d’élèves de l’enseignement secondaire vaudois (Suisse)
Authors: Bauer Stéphanie , Aebischer Nadine , Ribet Rachel
Published: February 2021

Engagée dans le développement d’une école inclusive, l’école vaudoise (Suisse) rencontre certaines difficultés à pouvoir assurer équitablement la réussite de tous ses élèves, et en particulier celle des élèves primo-arrivants. L’entrée que nous proposons dans cette étude est qualitative. Elle interroge l’expérience de scolarisation des élèves ayant fréquenté une classe d’accueil au secondaire 1, en donnant la parole à ces derniers. Le modèle du bien-être est utilisé et défini à travers la satisfaction de trois besoins : relation, compétence et autonomie. Les résultats des analyses des entretiens menés auprès de ces élèves âgés de 14 à 17 ans montrent l’importance de la socialisation entre pairs, le rôle médiateur du français sur le sentiment de compétence et une autonomie limitée par la structure scolaire, illustrant ainsi une expérience de bien-être relative. Cette dernière est en effet freinée par les logiques d’orientation et de sélection inhérente à l’organisation du système secondaire vaudois, révélant ainsi des écueils importants au développement de l’école inclusive.
Rôle de la formation des enseignants du second degré sur leurs pratiques pédagogiques
Authors: Duguet Amélie , Morlaix Sophie
Published: February 2021

Ce travail vise à analyser l’effet exercé par la formation initiale et continue des enseignants du second degré, en France, sur leurs pratiques pédagogiques. Pour cela, nous procédons à une analyse secondaire des données issues de l’enquête TALIS (Teaching and Learning International Survey), menée en 2013 au sein de 34 pays dont la France. Nous focalisons plus particulièrement notre attention sur les pratiques liées aux méthodes pédagogiques utilisées, à la gestion de la classe, à la façon de transmettre et aux pratiques évaluatives des enseignants. A l’appui de modèles de régression logistique binaire, nous montrons que les variables liées à la formation initiale jouent un faible rôle, voire exercent un effet négatif sur certaines pratiques pédagogiques, conduisant à une réflexion sur la rénovation de cette formation. Nos analyses viennent en revanche souligner le poids plus important joué par certaines actions de formation continue.
How Thorium-Based Molten Salt Reactors Can Provide Clean, Safe, and Cost-Effective Technology for Deep-Sea Shipping
Authors: Emblemsvåg Jan
Published: February 2021

AbstractDeep-sea shipping is one of the major polluters in the world. Unlike for smaller ships, there is currently no feasible and competitive alternative for deep-sea shipping. This fleet uses large, two-stroke engines running on heavy fuel oil (HFO), which in total produce
more pollution than all of Germany combined. It is therefore desirable to find a better technology to power these large ships, and a thorium-based molten salt reactor (TMSR) is suggested here. Not only is this technology safe and clean, but it is also extremely powerful allowing these large
vessels to run for years without refueling. The question is “What are the economics?” This paper will investigate the comparative costs of TMSR compared to the two-stroke HFO technology, including the uncertainties that exist. The purpose of the paper is to primarily provide a
conceptual, economic feasibility study to provide an impetus for future research so that this power source can one day become a reality.
Design and Test of a MEMS Accelerometer Array for Submarine Landslide Displacement Monitoring
Authors: Ge Yongqiang , Chen Jiawang , Cao Chen , He Jiamin , Sheng Yan , Zheng Xinlong
Published: February 2021

AbstractSubmarine landslides in gas hydrate areas are a significant geo-hazard that can cause considerable damage. The processes and mechanism of submarine landslides caused by gas hydrate dissociation are not clearly understood. Therefore, we designed a micro-electro-mechanical
systems (MEMS) accelerometer array to study and monitor the deep displacement of submarine landslides. The MEMS accelerometer array consists of several gravity acceleration-sensing units that are protected and positioned using a flexible circuit board and elastic steel tape, such that all
the units are connected to an Inter-Integrated Circuit (IIC) communication bus. By sensing the three-axis tilt angles, the direction and magnitude of the displacement for a measurement unit can be calculated; then, the overall displacement of the array is calculated as the difference in the
displacements from the initial values. To ensure the accuracy of the tilt angle and displacement calculation, the calibration and verification test of the single MEMS sensor and sensor array is conducted. The MEMS accelerometer array is verified with respect to its principle and arrangement
by a laboratory physical model test, and the initial experimentation demonstrated the capacities of the monitoring system for collecting real-time and in-situ information about the dynamic process and propagation of slope failure.

Published: February 2021

AbstractFrom the standpoint of complex marine environments relative to underwater acoustic signal propagation, the application of multi-beam systems for the filtering and processing of multi-beam sounding data is critical. However, currently existing automatic filtering methods
estimate data, which involve several calculations and require the respective computer to possess significant processing capabilities. In this study, raw data are measured using an interferometer multi-beam echo sounder, and the characteristics of the noise data are analyzed. The noise data
are discontinuous; however, accurate data can be approximated as a continuous distribution. Under the assumption of continuous underwater terrain, in consideration of a circle of the appropriate radius rolling on the terrain profile, the continuous underwater terrain data can be extracted
from the raw data by means of the alpha-shapes algorithm. Finally, on the basis of the measured data in a sail trial, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified.

Published: February 2021

In the initial phase of the coronavirus disease 2019 crisis, Bangladesh’s health systems faced competing demands to respond to the pandemic and concurrently maintain the continuity of essential health service delivery, particularly at the primary care level. Bangladesh’s established network of primary care health facilities, the country’s backbone for delivering essential health services, routinely feed data into the national health information system, the District Health Information Software 2 platform, which provides near real-time data on the utilization of essential health services, visualized through user-friendly integrated dashboards. Trend analyses of these data showed that by April and May 2020 there had been sharp reductions in the utilization of key essential health services across all levels of care.

Early and continuous monitoring and analysis of these data informed public health policy-makers and health facility managers on rapid response strategies to restore the availability and use of essential health services. Through corrective policy measures and targeted interventions, Bangladesh’s primary health care network provided a critical platform for Bangladesh to build back most of its essential health services by October 2020. Bangladesh’s experience highlights the critical role of primary-level health facilities as a touchpoint for monitoring population access to services and as a staging point for implementation of strategies and interventions that rebuild and strengthen health service delivery towards achieving universal health coverage and more resilient health systems.

BACKGROUND:

Since the purpose of medicine science is health promotion, education of this group is very important. The use of new evaluation methods is one of the first educational needs. Given that many conventional clinical evaluation methods are not able to fully evaluation students in the clinical settings and only evaluate limited information, This study is designed to evaluate the impact of direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS) and mini-clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) on nursing students and their clinical satisfaction skills.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2018 to evaluate the dialysis unit of the 6th semester nursing students of Babol University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Samples were selected by the census method and then random allocation. Data collection was performed using two questionnaires and two checklists to evaluate the clinical skills and satisfaction of the two groups of testing and control. Moreover, the data were analysed with using the SPSS software (version 18, IBM SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) through the descriptive and analytical statistics (Chi-square test and t-test).

RESULTS:

The results showed that the intervention group compared with the control evaluation score of 13/73 ± 2/44, 11/74 ± 2/43, P < 0.002, respectively. Furthermore, the mean score of satisfaction of the intervention group with the DOPS method compared to the traditional method of the control group was 72/50 ± 7/31, 63/48 ± 9/31, P < 0.001, respectively. As well as, the mean score of satisfaction with the mini-CEX method of the intervention group compared to the traditional method of the control group was 73/28 ± 7/78, 63/48 ± 9/31, P < 0.002, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:

The results of this study showed that students who were evaluated by DOPS and mini-CEX methods had a higher score of clinical performance evaluation and higher level of satisfaction. Nursing professors can improve the learning process and the satisfaction of nursing students by using direct feedback on such evaluation methods.

BACKGROUND:

Induced demand is a major challenge for financing health promotion, whereby providers exploit patients' information gap to manipulate their demand for health care. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with induced demand for health-care services in hospitals affiliated with Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS) in 2018.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

In this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 participants from IUMS hospitals, including faculty members, physicians, public hospital managers, patients, and researchers with academic and practical experience. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze the data.

RESULTS:

Overall, 24 subthemes or factors were identified and classified into the health system, the insurer, health-care provider, and health-care recipient themes. Poor monitoring and control, the fee-for-service payment system, limited role of insurance companies, insufficient monitoring of insurance companies, the educational nature of our health centers, health-care providers' interests, and patients' information gap were some important factors in induced demand for health-care services.

CONCLUSION:

Our results showed that there are many factors that contribute to induced demand for health care. Given the four levels of factors identified in this study, health policymakers and managers must develop strategies at each level to reduce induced demand for health care.

Authors: Yadav Srishti , Khokhar Anita
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND:

Heart attack and stroke account for >80% of deaths due to cardio-vascular diseases (CVDs) in India. Adolescents are the most susceptible group to adopt risky behaviors causing CVDs such as use of tobacco and alcohol, sedentary lifestyle, and unhealthy diet. This study was conducted to assess the health literacy of CVDs such as heart attack and stroke among school-going adolescents and change in health literacy after different information, education, and communication (IEC) activities.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

It was a school-based interventional study conducted in two schools among students of classes 6, 7, and 8. The educational interventions were done in the form of pamphlets, posters, and lectures on heart attack and stroke. The postintervention data were collected 2 weeks after the first intervention and 3 months after the last intervention.

RESULTS:

There were a higher proportion of students with satisfactory level of knowledge of heart attack and stroke both at 2 weeks and 3 months after the interventions in both the schools, and the results were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

The health literacy regarding CVDs has improved when compared to baseline after IEC activities among school-going adolescents.

Authors: Bains Vivek Kumar , Bains Rhythm , Gupta Vivek , Salaria Sanjeev Kumar
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND:

Oral health-care providers are always at a risk of transmitting or acquiring airborne, saliva-borne, or blood-borne infections due to their proximity to the patient's mouth, contact with saliva, and handling of sharp instruments. the aim this study was to evaluate the knowledge of the dentists regarding COVID-19, methods to prevent its transmission, and implications of COVID-19 in dental treatment.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

It was a cross-sectional online survey. There were 35 questions in total, divided into sections of knowledge of COVID-19, practices of personal protective equipment (PPE), and knowledge of implications of COVID-19 in dental treatment. Both convenience sampling and snowball sampling were used, so that maximal participation could be ensured. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and making comparisons among various groups. The data were summarized as proportions and percentages (%). All the associations were tested using the Chi-square test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 19.0.

RESULTS:

26.8% of respondents had a high knowledge, 61.5% had good knowledge, 10.1% had low knowledge, and 6 (1.5%) had nil knowledge about COVID-19. No significant association was found between qualification and knowledge level among the respondents (P = 0.053). Both graduates and postgraduates had low knowledge regarding effective PPE components (P = 0.053), donning (P = 0.888), and doffing (P = 0.745). Only 52.9% of postgraduates and 43.7% graduates answered correctly about the sequence of donning, and 47.9% of postgraduates and 46.1% of graduates had knowledge regarding correct doffing sequence of PPE. Furthermore, knowledge was low regarding the implications of COVID-19 in dental treatment.

CONCLUSION:

Although the dentists were found to have high/good knowledge scores regarding COVID-19, there was a lack of knowledge regarding hand hygiene, proper use of PPE, and implications of COVID-19 in dental treatment. Thus, they need to be trained and sensitized regarding the same.

Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND:

Musculoskeletal pain is highly prevalent among office workers and causes high costs to the public health system. Strategies including education and exercise are recommended, with major benefits when conducted by physical therapists in the occupational environment. However, the required investment is uncommon among companies. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal physiotherapy intervention to relieve musculoskeletal pain in office workers.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The study employed a single group study with a pre-post study design and was conducted at Universidad San Jorge in 2018. Outcome variables were: workplace ergonomics (INSHT Guide), existence and severity of musculoskeletal disorders (Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire), musculoskeletal pain intensity (Numeric Rating Scale), and Clinical Global Impression Scale. Office workers in a university setting (n = 24, 19 females) were assessed at baseline, after 4 weeks of in-person sessions and following 3 weeks of autonomous performance. The physiotherapy program included education, ergonomic supervision, self-treatment, strengthening, and stretching exercises. A repeated-measures ANOVA or Friedman test (with post hoc comparisons) and Chi-squared test were used to compare the study variables.

RESULTS:

At baseline, cervical spine (54%), shoulder (42%), and lumbar regions (37.5%) were the most symptomatic regions according to the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Even if the proportion of symptomatic areas did not decrease significantly after the intervention, a great reduction of musculoskeletal pain intensity was observed after the program in the cervical (P < 0.001), lower back (P = 0.005), shoulder (P = 0.006) regions, and in the overall pain level (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS:

These results support that a multimodal physiotherapy program can relieve work-related musculoskeletal pain in office workers and serve as a basis for future controlled trials.
