1. 1. PRODUCTION ERGONOMICS EVALUATION - NEEDS, PROCEDURES AND DIGITAL HUMAN MODELING TOOLS

   Författare :Cecilia Berlin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cumulative; Production Ergonomics; Digital Human Modeling; Prevention; Musculo-Skeletal Disorders; DHM; Time; Virtual Tools;

   Sammanfattning : In production systems, human operators may be at risk for developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), resulting in pain, inability to work and high costs. An increasingly capable tool for identifying MSD risks early in the production design process are Digital Human Models (DHMs), although their built-in analysis tools are in great need of development regarding how they address time-related aspects of load exposure.

4. 3. Explaining occupational disorders and work ability among home care workers

   Författare :Lotta Dellve; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Occupational diseases; work injury; musculoskeletal; sick leave; retirement; work ability; home care; home care service; home health aides; nursing personnel;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate what factors and conditions contribute to explain the incidences of reported occupational disorders (occupational injuries and work-related diseases and symptoms) and work ability (long-term work ability, long-term sick leave and disability pension) among home care workers (HCWs).Factors at three levels were investigated in this thesis: the macro-organisational level, the workplace level and the individual level.

5. 4. Working while ill, going on sick leave and return to work again: the individual's perspective in primary health care

   Författare :Kristin Lork; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; common mental disorders; occupational science; person-centred approach; primary healtcare; rehabilitation coordination; return-to-work; self-efficacy; sick leave; vocational rehabilitation;

   Sammanfattning : The overall purpose of the present thesis was to increase understand-ing of the dynamic process between working while feeling ill, going on sick leave, and returning to work among people seeking care at primary healthcare (PHC). The present thesis aimed to emphasise the individu-al’s perspective on this process. LÄS MER

7. 5. Understanding Comorbid Pain and Emotions : A transdiagnostic approach

   Författare :Matilda Wurm; Katja Boersma; Maria Tillfors; Mark A. Lumley; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Transdiagnostic approach; musculoskeletal pain; emotions; comorbidity; shared vulnerability model; social factors; gender;

   Sammanfattning : Experiencing pain, including an emotional reaction, is part of being hu­man. Emotional comorbidity is common in pain patients, and corre­lated to higher symptomatology and worse treatment outcome. The shared vulnerability model suggests that many vulnerability and main­taining factors may be involved in both pain and emotional problems. LÄS MER
