Abstract
Introduction. Nowadays, the benefits of standing work to the human body are becoming more and more common compared to a sitting job. Most often, employees are encouraged to stand more than sit, but long intervals of standing have risk factors: back pain; lower limb pain, (1); varicose veins (2); posture changes. One of the most frequent standing jobs in our noticeable environment is pharmacists working 7 to 8 hours a day. As information about the health of pharmacists are scarce, we have sought to clarify the fatigue, pain, quality of life components, peculiarities and interrelations of pharmacists. Research aim. Evaluate interrelations between posture, fatigue, pain and quality of life of women working in a standing job. Research methods and organization. The survey involved 17 employees from one pharmacy network who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study (minimum age 27; maximum age 62; 44.2 years; minimum length of service 5; maximum length of service 31; 18.2 years). Research methods: 1. Questionnaire survey. With the help of our questionnaire we tried to find out the age of the subjects, the length of service, and the swelling of the legs. 3. We used a numeric analog pain scale (SAS) to measure pain. The subjects had to evaluate the pain from 0 to 10, when 0 points mean - no pain experienced, 10 - the strongest pain. We also provide a pain map for the participants for locating the pain site, asking for the localization of pain. 4. To evaluate the fatigue experienced by the subjects, we have provided them with a “Multiple Fatigue Questionnaire (MFL-20L)”. After calculating the results of the fatigue questionnaire, we received information on general fatigue, physical fatigue, decreased activity, decreased motivation and mental fatigue. The assessment of fatigue is expressed as a percentage: the higher the percentage, the greater the incidence
