MEVA - a new method of occupational health and safety risk assessment

The paper describes a new method of occupational health and safety risk assessment. This method, called MEVA, unlike the old ones, focuses more on reduce or eliminate subjective issues in determining the probability of manifestation of risk factors and is based on a deductive reasoning, with the help of which is studied the chain between two or more events. The novelty of the method consists in combining risk assessment techniques with evaluation of compliance with legal and other requirements, aiming to provide a more objective results of the risk assessment. In the MEVA method, the risk matrix is defined by 5 classes of severity and 5 probability classes, resulting in 5 levels of risk. After quantifying the risk factors, prevention measures are proposed for all the identified risk factors and each partial risk level is recalculated as a result of the proposed measures. The five levels of risk were grouped into three categories: acceptable, tolerable and unacceptable. The MEVA method is a simple method and it can be used for assessing various workplaces, with different characteristics of complexity, activity domain or occupational health and safety recordings.

Mental health and coping strategies among nursing staff in public health services

Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate mental health and coping strategies among nursing staff in two public hospitals of Greece. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 318 nurses working in two public hospitals in Attica, Greece from February 2017 to May 2017. Data were collected using the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-2) and the Greek version of the Ways of Coping Questionnaire. The data were presented as mean and standard deviation and analyzed through student t–test, chi-square, and descript_ive statistics using SPSS Version 21.0. The significance level was accepted as P values <0.05. Results: Data analysis revealed that 44% of nurses were suffering from depression and 40.3% from anxiety, with the type of hospital (p≤ 0.001) and marital status (p = 0.031) affecting stress levels. Conclusions: Working in mental health hospital and married nurses were the main risk factors for manifestation of anxiety/depression symptoms among nursing staff. Individual nurse characteristics, such as working experience as well as working environment (general and mental health hospital) were found to be associated with the nurses’ coping strategies in their attempt to deal with their work.

The Impact of Complex Cardiac Rehabilitation on Manifestation of Risk Factors in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease

Each year more than 4.3 million people in Europe will die of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the implementation of simple interventions such as smoking cessation, weight loss, improved diets, and increased exercise is the top priority in prevention and rehabilitation programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of complex rehabilitation on the manifestation of risk factors and cardiac events in patients with coronary heart disease. A total of 140 patients with coronary heart disease and NYHA functional class II-IV ischemic heart failure were recruited to the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups: 70 patients who underwent a 6-month complex rehabilitation course (rehabilitation group) and 70 patients who received drug treatment only (control group). Smoking, dietary, and physical activity habits were documented using the questionnaires. Blood pressure (BP), body weight and height, and total serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglyceride (Tg), and blood glucose levels were measured. Measurements were repeated after 3 and 6 months. After 6 months, significantly reduced systolic BP was observed in both the groups as compared with the baseline values (P<0.05). A significant decrease in the diastolic BP; total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and blood glucose levels; body mass index, and percentage of patients with the metabolic syndrome as compared with the baseline data was documented only in the rehabilitation group (P<0.05). All the patients quitted smoking as well as all the patients in the rehabilitation group changed their dietary habits (P<0.05). Fewer patients were excluded from the rehabilitation group because of cardiac events as compared with the control group (7.1% vs. 11.4%, P<0.05). Complex long-term rehabilitation of cardiovascular patients significantly reduced the manifestation of major cardiovascular risk factors and the rate of cardiac events. Aerobic exercise must be the most important part of training but well-done resistance training must also be encouraged.

Pediatric Residency Preceding Child Neurology Training

Training in child neurology requires formal training in other aspects of pediatrics. This pediatrics training affords the ability to obtain a developmentally appropriate history and physical examination at all stages of childhood and adolescence and to provide anticipatory guidance to children and families of all developmental ages; the ability to identify and respond appropriately to emergent, urgent, and/or life-critical need for medical and/or psychosocial intervention on behalf of children and/or their families; the ability to identify and provide for appropriate medical and psychosocial services and supports for children and families affected by chronic and/or fatal diseases; and the ability to identify and respond appropriately to nonneurologic manifestations of risk factors for or harbingers of neurologic diseases or conditions. In this context, it also allows the trainee to hone skills in communication, counseling, teaching, and critical thinking, all of which are important for the effective practice of child neurology.

Manifestation of risk factors in the development of diabetes mellitus among young people

this study aims to identify lifestyle risk factors for diabetes in 208 young people from16 different countries, 50,5% of these respondents are predisposed to diabetes mellitus. FINDRISCand Mayo Clinic recommendations were taken into account. The results of the survey are basedon the answers of an anonymous survey, which included groups of questions about general data,anthropometric data, nutrition, physical activity, rest mode, bad habits, heredity and anamnesis.The most critical changes were detected in the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables (55% do&#x0D; not consume enough), as well as activity and rest mode (67% do not perform physical activity reg-ularly, 47.1% of respondents do not spend the required 7-9 hours on sleep). A comparative analysis&#x0D; of respondents of different origins (Ukrainians and Indians) found that among the representativesof India is more elevated body mass index and increased waist circumference. In addition, theproportion of respondents who have ever had a rise in blood glucose is higher among Indians thanamong Ukrainians (11,4% vs. 6,8%). There are more respondents in Ukraine who do not exerciseregularly than in India.
