Ergonomic Comparison of Four Dental Workplace Concepts Using Inertial Motion Capture for Dentists and Dental Assistants
2021
When the inventory is arranged in a dental practice, a distinction can be made between four different dental workplace concepts (DWCs). Since the prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases in dental professionals is very high, preventive solution need to be investigated. As the conventionally used DWCs have, to date, never been studied in terms of their ergonomics, this study aims to investigate the ergonomic risk when working at the four different DWCs. In total, 75 dentists (37 m/38 f) and 75 dental assistants (16 m/59 f) volunteered to take part in this study. Standardized cooperative working procedures were carried out in a laboratory setting and kinematic data were recorded using an inerti…
Health sector spending and spending on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, and development assistance for health: progress towards Sustainable Devel…
2020
BACKGROUND: Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 aims to "ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages". While a substantial effort has been made to quantify progress towards SDG3, less research has focused on tracking spending towards this goal. We used spending estimates to measure progress in financing the priority areas of SDG3, examine the association between outcomes and financing, and identify where resource gains are most needed to achieve the SDG3 indicators for which data are available. METHODS: We estimated domestic health spending, disaggregated by source (government, out-of-pocket, and prepaid private) from 1995 to 2017 for 195 countries and territories. For …
Évolution des conceptions après une formation pédagogique
2008
08050 - Egalement disponible à l'adresse : http://www.aipu2008-montpellier.fr/index.php?dossier_nav=839; International audience; Depuis 2005, l'université de Bourgogne (France) offre à ses chargés de TD/TP (assistants) la possibilité de se former à leur métier d'enseignant via une formation pédagogique de 4 jours. Cette formation vise à les aider à se constituer un référentiel -tant pratique que théorique- afin de s'acquitter au mieux de leurs tâches d'enseignement. Elle a jusqu'à présent accueilli environ 80 jeunes enseignants issus de diverses disciplines. Nous avons souhaité mesurer les effets formatifs perçus par les apprenants. Pour ce faire, si l'on considère que l'apprentissage peut …
Kvalitetsindikatorer for kreftbehandling : erfaringer til mellomledere i sykehus
2014
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI 500 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Background: During the last couple of years, the government has increased their attention on quality indicators and measures that can contribute towards improving cancer- diagnosis and treatment. Quality indicators were in 2011 approved for initiation of treatment within 20 days for lung, breast, and colon cancer. Given this, it is conducted a qualitative study with assistant managers in a hospital. The purpose of the study is to increase knowledge and understanding of how assistant managers are affected by quality indicators. The aim of the study is to illustrate assistant managers’ experience with quality indic…

Background Dental professionals are subjected to higher risks for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) than other professional groups, especially the hand region. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of hand complaints among dentists (Ds) and dental assistants (DAs) and examines applied therapies. Methods For this purpose, an online questionnaire analysed 389 Ds (240female/149male) and 406 DAs (401female/5male) working in Germany. The self-reported data of the two occupational groups were compared with regard to the topics examined. The questionnaire was based on the Nordic Questionnaire (self-reported lifetime, 12-month and 7-day MSDs prevalence of the hand, the conducted therapy and…

Tīmekļa pārlūkošana ar balss komandu palīdzību
2018
Runas atpazīšana un ierīču vai lietotņu vadība ar balss palīdzību kļūst arvien izplatītāka, tāpēc, lai atvieglotu dzīvi cilvēkiem ar kustību vai redzes traucējumiem, kā arī padarītu tīmekļa pārlūkošanu vienkāršāku no attāluma, vērts apskatīt iespējas tīmekļa pārlūkošanu vadīt ar balss palīdzību. Darbā apskatīts pārlūkprogrammu un ierīču atbalsts runas atpazīšanai un sekojošai pārlūkošanas funkcionalitātei, esošie alternatīvie risinājumi un pamatfunkciju kopa, kuru vajadzētu iekļaut, lai tīmeklis būtu lietojams bez citu ievadierīču, kā mikrofona, palīdzības. Darba rezultātā izveidota konceptuāla balss vadības sistēmas versija, kura darbināta ar Google Assistant palīdzību un tiek piesaistīta …

Combining Ergonomic Risk Assessment (RULA) with Inertial Motion Capture Technology in Dentistry—Using the Benefits from Two Worlds
2021
Traditional ergonomic risk assessment tools such as the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) are often not sensitive enough to evaluate well-optimized work routines. An implementation of kinematic data captured by inertial sensors is applied to compare two work routines in dentistry. The surgical dental treatment was performed in two different conditions, which were recorded by means of inertial sensors (Xsens MVN Link). For this purpose, 15 (12 males/3 females) oral and maxillofacial surgeons took part in the study. Data were post processed with costume written MATLAB® routines, including a full implementation of RULA (slightly adjusted to dentistry). For an in-depth comparison, five newly i…
Self-Care and Sense of Coherence: A Salutogenic Model for Health and Care in Nursing Education
2022
Background: Effective advocacy on self-care and the enhancement of a sense of coherence among nurses don’t only benefit control over one’s health and personal performance, but it may have a direct impact on clinical care and on the entire healing system. In this regard, nursing curricula grounded on a salutogenic model of health (SMH) operate with strategies to engage students in self-care and contribute to improving their mental health and wellbeing. The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between self-care agency and a sense of coherence as dependent variables and the age and self-reported academic performance as independent variables in nursing assistant studen…
