Abstract

Bacground: Impaired venous return is observed in healthcare professionals who spend long periods standing and sitting. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate varicose vein-related risk factors, exercise health beliefs, and venous refill time in healthcare professionals working in operating rooms and outpatient clinics by photoplethysmography.

Method: The study sample consisted of 100 healthcare professionals without a diagnosis of peripheral venous insufficiency. Data were collected using a descriptive characteristics form, the Health Belief Model Scale for Exercise, the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire, and photoplethysmography.

Result: This study found that OR nurses had shorter venous refill times and experienced more pain due to prolonged standing, despite their high health beliefs about exercise.

Conclusion: Healthcare professionals working in operating rooms should be screened for venous insufficiency and trained regarding the practices to prevent venous insufficiency, such as lying down, elevating legs, and using elastic stockings.

对在手术室和门诊部工作的医护人员进行静脉曲张相关风险因素、运动健康信念和静脉充盈时间的光电透射测量评估。
背景:长期站立和坐着的医护人员静脉回流受阻。这项描述性横断面研究旨在通过光电压力描记法评估在手术室和门诊工作的医护人员的静脉曲张相关风险因素、运动健康观念和静脉回流时间:研究样本包括 100 名未确诊外周静脉功能不全的医护人员。使用描述性特征表、运动健康信念模型量表、短式麦吉尔疼痛问卷和照相血压计收集数据:研究发现,尽管手术室护士对运动的健康信念很高,但他们的静脉充盈时间更短,因长时间站立而产生的疼痛感更强:结论:在手术室工作的医护人员应接受静脉功能不全筛查,并接受有关预防静脉功能不全的培训,如躺下、抬高腿部和使用弹力袜。
