Introduction: The workers employed in stone cutting industries are exposed to hand-arm vibration and its complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate exposure to handarm vibration and its health effects on workers in stone cutting workshops. Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study, 40 workers of Hamadan city stone cutting, who worked with stone cutting machines, were examined. Measuring exposure to handarm vibration was performed by standard methods ISO 5349. Symptoms related to handarm vibration syndrome, using a questionnaire, were studied. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: Results showed that eight-hour equivalent acceleration of hand-arm vibration exposure in stone cutting workers exceeded the permissible exposure levels of the country (P > 0.05). Highest average hand and arm vibration acceleration was measured in the Z axis. The average vibration acceleration hand-arm and cutting transverse and longitudinal cutting significant difference was observed (P > 0.05). conclusions: In regard to exposure level of stone cutting workers compared with the national exposure limit, the training of health care, non-smoking, and use of anti-vibration gloves, work rotations canthe effective in reducing the risk of health effects. Furthermore, it seems essential to track the health effects associated with human vibration by use of screening tests in the work place seem.

Relationship between Family Function with Stress, Anxiety and Depression of Air Force Pilots in Isfahan-2019-2020

Military Caring Sciences

Introduction: The importance of the Air Force's ability to protect and defend any country is obvious. The well-performed air force depends on the capabilities, mental and physical health of staff. Family as an environmental factor plays a significant role in the development and maintenance of mental health disorders. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between family function and stress, anxiety and depression in Isfahan Air Force pilots during 2019-2020. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 120 military air force pilots completed the standard family functioning (FAD), anxiety, stress and depression (DASS) questionnaires. After excluding invalid questionnaires, data were collected from 103 individuals and analyzed in SPSS20. The significant level is considered 0.05. Results: Linear regression analysis showed that the family function was scored 0.16, 0.05 and 0.05 in in depression, anxiety and stress, respectively. The family function was a significant predictor of depression, anxiety and stress in participants. The results showed that based on beta coefficients, each 0.25, 0.24 and 0.24 change in family performance score resulted in a significant change in participants' depression, anxiety and stress scores, respectively (P <0.05). Discussion and Conclusion: Based on results of this study, it can be concluded that decreasing family function increases anxiety, depression and stress in pilots. Therefore military families should be considred.
