Exploring the influence of music on cognitive performance in female assembly line workers at a medical device manufacturing unit.

The significance of enhancing working conditions for the physical health and performance of workers, particularly female workers, underscores the need for research in this domain and the examination of interventions such as music. Previous studies have yielded diverse outcomes regarding the influence of music on individuals' performance; hence, further research in this area appears imperative. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of music on the cognitive and task performance of female assembly operation operators.

A method for rapid assessment of visual ergonomics and lighting conditions (RAVEL): An in-depth development and psychometrics study.

Background: In workplaces heavily reliant on visual tasks, various factors can significantly influence an individual's performance, necessitating the use of reliable tools to identify and mitigate these factors.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a swift assessment method for visual ergonomics and lighting conditions, evaluating its validity in real-world scenarios.

Methods: The questionnaire's content validity was determined by a panel of experts using the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI).

Validating the effectiveness of a self-report tool to predict unsafe behavior of industrial workers: a QEEG analysis.

Unsafe behavior (UB) is defined as the likelihood of intentionally or unintentionally deviating from pre-defined plans. This study aims to investigate the validation of a self-report tool for measuring workers' cognitive-based UB using quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG). The cognitive-based unsafe behavior questionnaire (CUBQ) was completed by 632 front-line workers in a manufacturing industry to identify differences in the backgrounds of the subjects regarding UBs.

A comparison between the lecture and self-study methods on female students' awareness and attitudes about text neck syndrome.

Background: Text Neck Syndrome (TNS) is a common issue in the neck. The emergence of such issues makes it more pressing to offer ergonomic training to prevent their consequences. The present study aimed to compare training through the lecture and Self-Study methods awareness and attitudes about the TNS.

A multicomponent quasi-experimental ergonomic interventional study: long-term parallel four-groups interventions.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are known as one of the main problems affecting the health of industrial workers and can lead to lost working days, functional disability of workers and wasting the financial resources of an organization. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluating the effect of ergonomic interventions on reducing MSDs and improving working posture in the in a foundry industry workers.

Methods: A field multicomponent cross-interventional study was conducted on workers working in a foundry industry.
