AAOHN J. 1998 Jun; 46(6):296-301.AJ

Abstract

1. Employee education and training about upper extremity anatomy/physiology, risk factors and intervention strategies, including ergonomics, may promote wellness and prevent injuries in the workplace. 2. It is important that nurses in the workplace be proactive in the development and implementation of injury prevention and education programs related to CTDs. 3. Reducing known risk factors and educating workers could have financial benefit for management and should result in healthier, happier employees.
