Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are among the most common occupational diseases. Bankers are exposed to different ergonomic hazards. This study was conducted to assess work posture among bank workers and the effect of two training methods was compared. The 80 bank workers from eleven bank in Yazd, Iran participated in this cross-sectional study. Cluster sampling was used to select the subjects. RULA method was used for posture analysis. Subjects were randomly allocated into two groups. The intervention included a training course presented by oral lecture and e-mail and the efficacy of the methods was compared. Mean RULA score before intervention was 4.10±1.60 and 4.15±1.14 in e-mail and lecture groups, respectively and the difference was not statistically different (P = 0.86). RULA score was significantly reduced in both groups after interventions. The study showed that both training methods significantly affected the body posture of bank workers and this effect was larger using lecture for training. Keywords: MSDs, RULA, training, oral lecture, e-mail.
