Using digital technologies for correction in the health condition process for IT specialists

Computers have swiftly integrated into people's daily lives, and their utilization continues to surge. The role of an IT support specialist encompasses expertise in network analysis, system administration, information security and assurance, IT audits, database administration, and web administration. The overarching objective is to cultivate a professionally adept and competitive specialist, whose attributes are shaped not only by professional aptitude but also by their personal lifestyle. Pursuing a career in IT necessitates adherence to several criteria, including possessing relevant education, intellectual acumen, teamwork capabilities, self-educational proficiency, a commitment to skill enhancement, and the ability to work autonomously. It is evident that the significance of this industry is growing each year. It is crucial to highlight that, without the implementation of occupational health and safety regulations, there is a substantial risk of a considerable decline in health protection, potentially leading to irreversible impacts on the overall functioning of the body. Adopting a healthy lif estyle involves establishing a self-designed system that safeguards an individual from risks encountered in an active life. To address this, we have developed a sequence of exercises aimed at providing psychological and physical relief for IT workers. The objective is to safeguard the health of employees in this category, incorporating exercises such as tapping biologically active zones, "Crane wings," and "Snake rings." The experimentally verified complex of measures designed for mental and physical relief for IT workers has demonstrated its effectiveness. Additionally, the execution of the exercise routine results in the alignment of morning and evening indicators, indicating an overall improvement in well-being and stable psycho-emotional state. The acquired results highlight a considerable decrease in fatigue indicators and the normalization of mood after completing the exercise routine.

Occupational health and safety management policies and employee quality of life in developing countries: Insights from Ghana

AbstractThis study explores the formulation and implementation of occupational health and safety management (OHSM) policies by multinational manufacturing firms operating in sub‐Saharan Africa and how they influence employees' quality of life (QOL). We used Afrifoods (pseudonym), a food manufacturing multinational company in Ghana as a case. Gathering qualitative data through interviews, focus group discussions, and archival sources, we found that despite the prevailing institutional deficiencies in sub‐Saharan African countries especially in ensuring the implementation of health and safety policies, food manufacturing multinational companies formulate and implement health and safety policies. And, the high rates of unemployment notwithstanding, employees of manufacturing companies prioritize safe and healthy working environment and consider it the first and most important attribute of their QOL. Employees also consider being able to provide their family needs as well as being recognized for the efforts expended at work as other determinants of their QOL. Multinational firms operating or intending to go into sub‐Saharan Africa should consider health and safety policies as indispensable in their business strategy formulation, if they wish to get the maximum benefit from their employees. Governments must also intensify monitoring to ensure firms' compliance with national health and safety laws at their work sites.

Obstructive Lung Disease Linked to Occupational Exposures in Malawian Tobacco Farmers

ABSTRACT Nicotine and pesticide exposure in agricultural settings have been linked to the development of chronic respiratory disease in workers. However, this has not been extensively studied in Africa. The aim of this study was therefore to determine the prevalence of obstructive lung disease and its relationship to concurrent nicotine and pesticide exposure among small-scale tobacco farmers in Malawi. For this purpose, sociodemographic characteristics, occupational and environmental exposures were evaluated in relation to work-related respiratory symptoms and lung function impairment. A cross-sectional study was conducted enrolling 279 workers in flue-cured tobacco farms in Zomba, Malawi. The study instruments used for assessing the health outcomes were a standardised European Community Respiratory Health Survey II (ECRHS) questionnaire and Spirometry testing. The questionnaires were aimed at collecting relevant data on sociodemographic factors and self-reported respiratory health outcomes. Data were also collected on potential pesticide and nicotine exposures. Spirometry was done to evaluate objective respiratory impairment in accordance with American Thoracic Society guidelines. The mean age of participants was 38 years with 68% being male. The prevalence of work-related ocular nasal symptoms, chronic bronchitis, and work-related chest symptoms was 20%, 17%, and 29%, respectively. Airflow limitation (FEV1/FVC <70%) was found in 8% of workers. Self-reported exposure to pesticides varied from 72%- to 83%, whilst the prevalence of recent green tobacco sickness was 26%. Tasks linked to nicotine exposure, such as sowing (OR: 2.5; CI 1.1–5.7) and harvesting (OR: 2.6; CI 1.4–5.1), were significantly associated with work-related chest symptoms. Pesticide application (OR:1.96; CI 1.0–3.7) was associated with an increased risk of work-related oculonasal symptoms. Duration of pesticide exposure was also associated with obstructive impairment FEV1/FVC<LLN (OR: 5.11; CI 1.6–16.7) and FEV1/FVC <70% (OR: 4.68; CI 1.2–18.0). This study demonstrated that tobacco farmers in Malawi had a high prevalence of respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation due to obstructive lung disease. This could be attributed to nicotine or pesticide exposure in small-scale tobacco farming. The implementation of occupational health and safety measures to mitigate these exposures may play an important role in modifying the risk of obstructive lung disease in this population.
