Non Communicable Diseases

The increasing incidence and prevalence of non-communicable diseases is a major global health concern. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for the highest percentage of deaths related to non-communicable diseases, and low and middle-income countries (LMIC) face the highest burden of CVDs. Understanding the knowledge and perception of CVDs and their risk factors in an LMIC such as Nigeria may play an important role in cardiovascular health promotion and improvement plans to reduce CVD-related deaths. A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews to gain an in-depth understanding of some personal and sociocultural views on CVDs and their risk factors. The participants were purposively sampled primary school teachers in South-Eastern Nigeria. Thematic analysis approach was used for data analysis. The study findings include knowledge of heart disease, perceived causes and risk factors of CVDs, spirituality, and the way forward. Overall, the knowledge of CVDs in the setting was found to be related to the psychosocial nature of the participants; the effectiveness of any intervention needs to take these factors into consideration. For example, health policies for CVD health education and awareness should be tailored to address some of the issues of belief, values, and religion, as mentioned in the study.

BACKGROUND: Shoulder injuries are among the most common musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) that can present in teachers, due to the nature of the teaching profession. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of shoulder MSD in primary school teachers, Durban, South Africa. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 203 school teachers. A questionnaire to determine the prevalence of shoulder injuries and other common injuries experienced was completed. Descriptive statistics and chi-square and binomial tests were used to analyse the results. RESULTS: The prevalence of shoulder injuries among school teachers was 53.7%, which was significantly higher than neck injuries (p=.037). Participants who had had a previous injury to the shoulder were more likely to have experienced shoulder problems at work (p = .006). A significant 76.1% had not injured their shoulder in any way (p <.0005). Additionally, the shoulder problems prevented a significant 77% of the participants from performing their normal work for up to seven days during the previous 12 months (p<.0005). CONCLUSION: Preventative and management strategies for shoulder injuries among school teachers are needed.

Abstract Background Voice problems are thought to be one of the major occupational hazards of school teaching; as teachers often use their voice with high-intensity, in noisy classes, for a long time and without suitable breaks. The measurement of vocal demands and risk factors is essential for adjusting occupational safety and health services to this population’s needs. Aim of the Work To estimate the prevalence of voice problems and to identify the possible risk factors for developing voice pathology among primary school teachers. Materials and Methods A cross sectional study was carried out in 10 primary schools in Cairo, Egypt. A total of 225 primary school teachers were invited to participate in the study. Data were collected through an interview questionnaire addressing the prevalence of voice problems and potential risk factors. Descriptive analysis and chi-square test were used to measure the relationship between voice problems and associated risk factors. Results The frequency of voice problems among teachers was 56.4% at any point of time throughout their career. The teachers reporting voice problems were compared with those without problems. Gender was significantly associated with the development of voice problems among teachers. Conclusion A high frequency of self-reported voice problems was found among the studied teachers which indicates that school teaching is a high-risk profession for occurrence of voice problems.
