Methods: This is a cross-sectional study and conducted in a garment industry at Vapi, Gujrat. By purposive sampling technique, 100 sewing machine operators having minimum one year of experience, in the age group of 18-60 years were recruited with their consent. Örebro Musculoskeletal pain questionnaire (ÖMPQ), Rapid Entire Body Assessment tool (REBA), Quick Exposure Check tool (QEC) and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was administered to all the participants. Data was analyzed using SPSS 24 software. Descriptive statistics applied for categorical variables, Spearman Rank correlation coefficient (r) was calculated for the relationship between PA and WMSDs. Results: This study revealed the prevalence of WMSDs as 70% and low back pain was the commonest complaint. REBA demonstrated that 55% of participants were at high musculoskeletal risk and 44% were at very high risk. QEC identified that neck region had very high exposure risk for the development of WMSDs. The level of PA shows no association with WMSDs (r = 0.040, p=0.62). Conclusions: Sewing machine operators of this study adopted a poor working posture which corresponds to the development of high musculoskeletal risk and an increased prevalence of WMSDs.","PeriodicalId":73438,"journal":{"name":"International journal of community medicine and public health","volume":"41 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135872187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its focus is on utilization of different technologies in order to support, enhance, and optimise the delivery of information. ICT can be used in many ways to help both the students and the teachers gain knowledge on a particular topic/subject. The present study was inclined to look into the attitude of teacher for the hearing impaired towards usage of ICT in classrooms. Methods: Questionnaire which consists of attitude of teachers towards ICT. The questionnaire used for this study was adopted and modified from the original questionnaire designed by Gulbahar and Guven (2008), Ghavifekr and Athirah (2015) that is considered suitable for this research. Descriptive statistics was carried out for analyzing the data in SPSS version 20.0. Results: For all the questions framed to elicit positive opinions, the median values were either 4 i.e. agree is the common response of all the judges. For questions framed to elicit the common response is either disagree or strongly disagree. The responses of the judges suggest that they consider ICT to be helpful for teaching-learning of hearing impaired children.

The sample was comprised of children aged 3 to 11 years of age who received dental treatment under conscious sedation from 2019 to 2021 at DUH. Descriptive statistics were presented, and negative binomial regression analysis was performed to assess the difference in the number of performed procedures by different academic year. Results: Two hundred and twenty-seven subjects had dental treatment under conscious sedation from 2019 to 2021. Most of the sample were Saudi (88.5%) and classified as ASA I (97.8%). The number of sedation cases were almost 55% lower than the number of cases that were done in 2020 and almost 62% lower than the cases that were performed in 2019. There was a significant decrease in the pulp therapy and preventive procedures (p=0.03, and p=0.02, respectively). No statistically significant differences were found in other procedures. Conclusions: There was a considerably huge decrease in the number of cases treated under conscious sedation as an effect of the pandemic. Pulp therapy and preventive procedures were the most affected. Our findings indicate the need to establish a protocol for delivering dental care while ensuring the safety of the patients in such difficult situations.","PeriodicalId":73438,"journal":{"name":"International journal of community medicine and public health","volume":"2004 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135813276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 medical students using simple random sampling method. A self-structured and validated questionnaire was used to collect data which was then analyzed using frequencies, mean, t-test, Chi square test and ANOVA. Results: The overall knowledge scores among majority (59.8%) students belonged to ‘very good’ category while 7.5% obtained ‘unsatisfactory’ scores. Mean scores for knowledge were significantly different in different stratified groups. One third participants were stressful during earlier pandemic. 68.5% strongly stated that being healthy and prior vaccination were important factor for preparedness and willingness to volunteer. Besides personal protective equipment (PPE), separate accommodation and transportation for volunteering duration and psychological support are other crucial factors. Conclusions: Majority of the students in the study displayed adequate preparedness in terms of knowledge, awareness and willingness during the recent pandemics. However, the level of risk perception was evident. By imparting good knowledge and prior training about the pandemic, preventive strategies, tackling stress and identifying and addressing other relevant issues, medical college students can prove to be an asset for facing a pandemic like situation in our country.","PeriodicalId":73438,"journal":{"name":"International journal of community medicine and public health","volume":"2012 24","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135813941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in the PHC of Eastern Riyadh. We systematically sampled participants attending the PHCs the required sample size was achieved. We measured seasonal depression and beliefs using the validated seasonal pattern assessment questionnaire (SPAQ) and seasonal beliefs questionnaire. We presented the mean and standard deviation (SD) of scores obtained and used Student’s t test ANOVA test to compare differences across explanatory variables. We demonstrated internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha. Results: Among 232 participants, majority were aged 18-35 years (67.2%) and males (60.8%).

All injury events had occurred when subjects were away from home, of which three occurred on road, due to unclean surroundings in one case and two by motor vehicle accidents due to inexperienced drivers, of less than legal age for driving, and on alcohol. Treatment was taken from secondary care hospitals by all injured subjects. Mean cost of treatment was Rs.5,009/-, with total out-of-pocket expenditure being Rs.7,212/- (mean=Rs.2,404/-).
