Low back pain is a frequent cause of missed workdays and job-specific disability and is associated with poor outcomes for employees and employers. An online learning module that focused on normal anatomy of the spine, common pathophysiologic diagnosis or findings that may contribute to back pain, and techniques for back pain reduction was created for employees at risk due to the nature of their labor-intensive jobs. This module also contained case studies and graphics that demonstrated ways to reduce risks or hazards by incorporating job-specific changes in the work environment. A mixed method statistical analysis of knowledge change was completed after participation in the online module. This demonstrated that participants had a marked increase in knowledge in all areas examined. In addition, participants perceived the module as beneficial for grasping anatomical concepts, understanding injury prevention and management strategies, valuing the shared information, leveraging visual aids, and applying practical examples per qualitative questions answered. Participants gained knowledge that can be used on the job to decrease risk of sustaining back pain or injury. The intervention approach enhances the understanding of back pain among industrial workers and holds profound implications for public health on a broader scale. Monitoring population health and preventing back pain and injury while at work is essential for safety and is also a core competency in public health. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
