BACK PAIN II MANUAL HANDLING AND ERGONOMICS


 




Manual Handling means ang paggamit ng lakas o pwersa ng iyong katawan para hawakan, suportahan o pigilan ang isang bagay, at ito ay hindi lamang sa pamamagitan ng pagbubuhat, pagtutulak kundi pati na rin ang tinatawag nating repetitive tasks. Ang mga gawaing manual handling ay posibleng makakapagdulot ng injury at ito ay tinatawag na "hazardous". Ang ito ay ang mga sumusunod: computer use and workstation ergonomics ( o ang paggamit ng iyong sariling katawan sa mga daily tasks).


Halos karamihan ng mga empleyado ay may pareparehong manual handling activity which is ang keyboard work at ito ay halimbawa lamang  dahil marami pang iba't ibang klase ng manual handling activities na nararanasan ng kahit sino sa bawat araw ng ating pagtatrabaho. Halimabawa, kung ang isang employee ay nagrereload ng photocopier machine, pagbibitbit ng mga gamit sa school, pag-liligpit ng gamit, kahit ang paggamit ng mga equipment or tools na may vibration component. 


Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) means isang uri ng sakit na dulot ng pagkakamali ng manual handling na nagawa ng isang nagtatrabaho o empleyado.  Pwede itong mangyari suddenly or over a prolonged period of time. Halimbawa ay: sakit ng likod or lower back pain, sakit sa batok, sakit ng braso. Ito rin ang tinatawag na extra fatigue and stress sa ating mga muscles, joints and bones. 


May mga paraan para maiwasan ang pagdudulot ng sakit na MSD.  Pero kailangan munang iconsider kung pwedeng tanggalin o alisin ang risk o peligro. Pero kung talagang hindi maiiwasan, then kinakailangang gamitan na nang risk reduction techniques. 


Mayroong tinatawag na good or proper body mechanics na napakadaling gawin: 

  • Stand with your feet apart to create a firm foundation
  • Bend at your knees instead of your waist
  • Use your arm and leg muscles to lift object, rather than using your back    
  • Keep your neck, back, hips, and feet aligned when you move
  • Avoid twisting and bending at the waist
  • The spine should be in neutral position
  •  Sit properly with your buttocks at the back of the seat
  • Bend your knees at 90-degree angle with your feet flat on the floor; leave a small space at the backs of your knees
  • Lift your chin, relax your jaw and mouth 
  • Hold objects close to your body at waist level when you carry something heavy











 



Medications commonly used : Mefenamic acid, Naproxen , Ibuprofen, Ketoprofen, Tramadol, Ketorolac, Diclofenac 


Independent intervention to help relieve back pain due to strain: 

  • regular hot packs for 15-20 minutes at intervals  
  • use of medical bed to cushion your back 

 

Tandaan na meron ding tinatawag na neurological disorder of back pain. At ito ay kailangan ng medical and surgical treatment ng isang specialist o ng isang doktor.

WORKING IN UAE AS A REGISTERED NURSE

 Working as a registered  in a government hospital here in UAE is financially enough, only until a certain limit of age. When you reach 55-60 years old, a nurse can be considered on the list of those who might be in "ENDO" (which means end of contract). Whether you are still capable of working but to reach this stage means one should be financially ready to go at anytime.  So, this can actually be done if this person is wise enough to just think of nothing else each day but how to save and save and save. If you have this in mind, then it is doable to be financially free by the time you reach your ENDO.  Otherwise, you can still enjoy working abroad when you start planning on your next move and invest for the next country from here. Yes, I guess moving to either UK or US before having ENDO is a great idea especially now that the inflation rate in Philippines is so overwhelming talking about the high gas prices and the shortage of sugar plus the threat of another pande...

Breast Cancer Awareness in October

Image
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. Over the years, it has gained prominence around the world and is a very relevant topic in almost anywhere with the disease being highly prevalent in most countries worldwide. Early Detection:  There is a common misconception that breast cancer only affects older women. Global studies have shown that women between the age of 20 and 34, with a strong family history of the disease are most susceptible to the disease. All women, regardless of family history, must conduct an annual mammogram, after reaching the age of 35. Early detection of breast cancer is key to survival, and if women can be educated to self-check, this will help increase awareness and ultimately save lives.   It is okay to talk about it:  Women with breast cancer find it inappropriate to discuss the disease with their communities because it is still deemed a taboo. It is imperative that we communicate with one...

What is Cancer II Cancer awareness Month

What is Cancer? Cancer is a malignant neoplastic disorder that can involve all body organs with manifestations that vary according to the body system affected and type of tumor cells. Cells lose their normal growth-controlling mechanism, and the growth of cells is uncontrolled. Cancer produces serious health problems such as impaired immune and hematopoietic (blood-producing) function, altered gastrointestinal tract structure and function, motor and sensory deficits, and decresed respiratory function.  Metastasis Cancer cells move from their orginal location to other sites.  Routes of metastasis Local seeding: Distribution of shed cancer cells occurs in the local area of the primary tumor Blood-borne metastasis: Tunor cells enter the blood, which is the most common cause of cancer spread.  Lymphatic spread: Primarys sites rich in lymphatics are more susceptible to early metastatic spread Common sites of Metastasis Bladder Cancer Lung Bone Liver Pelvic, retroperitoneal str...
