Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) or Work-Related Ostomuscular Disorders (WRMD) are musculoskeletal disorders. Nursing is one of the categories of workers most affected, due to the inherent functions they perform in their daily activities. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of a distance education program of prevention in RIS/WRMD on the quality of life of a nursing group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) or Work-Related Musculoskeletaldisorders (WRMD) are the names given to skeletal muscle disorders that mainly affect the upper limbs, the scapular region and the neck. One of the most affected categories is nursing workers who present health problems inherent to the function they perform in their daily activities. Due to this peculiarity, several studies are focused on the occupational risks of nursing workers in the hospital environment. However, It was not found in the literature studies that suggests strategies to prevent and improve the worker's quality of life. Distance education comes as a differential. It has power in interactive media and collaborative learning beyond self-learning and mass media. This research project proposes to carry out a randomized clinical trial where the intervention group will receive a Prevention Course in RSI/WRMD in the distance education modality and the control group will receive Educational Lectures on Prevention in RSI /WRMD, both groups will be composed by a nursing team from the Clinical Hospital of Porto Alegre.

Intervention

distance education curse with 8 hours to be accomplished in 2 weeks,

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

The distance eduacation group course has a workload of 8 hours and will be developed over 2 weeks. It is suggested that students have a minimum of 1 hour of study per day. The course will consist of work tips, clarifications and procedures for the prevention of RIS/WRMD physical training tips to improve cardiovascular condition and, of strength and flexibility, available literature and theoretical evidence that should be answered through the knowledge acquired in the EAD course of prevention of LERDORT from the HCPA's Physiatrics and Rehabilitation Service. This Course will be available through moodle.

Control

Wiil receive a lecture of 30 minutes

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Control

Intervention Type OTHER

will receive a lecture of 30 minutes.
