Effects of Eye Protective Device and Ear Protective Device Application on Sleep Disorder with Coronary Disease Patients in CCU
Taehan Kanho Hakhoe chi, 2008Co-Authors: Yoon Jung Koo, Hyo Jung KohAbstract:Purpose: The purpose of this research was to analyze the effects of an Eye Protective Device and ear Protective Device application on sleep disorder with coronary disease patients in CCU. Methods: The research design was set up as a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design. The subjects were coronary disease patients in the CCU of a tertiary hospital. The subjects were composed of 20 in the group with an Eye Protective Device, 18 in the group with an ear Protective Device, 17 in the group with an Eye Protective Device and ear Protective Device and 20 in the control group. The data was analyzed by X²-test, ANOVA, Repeated measures ANOVA, Sheffe-test, Simple main effect and Time contrast using SPSS Win 12.0. Results: The hypothesis, ‘There are significant differences in sleep quantity among the four groups’ was supported (F=1,342.71, p=.000). The hypothesis, ‘There are significant differences in the subjective evaluation of the general sleep patterns among the four groups’ was supported (F=3,638.73, p=.000). In addition the hypothesis, ‘There are significant differences in degree of sleep among the four groups’ was supported (F=1,616.61, p=.000). Conclusion: It is cost effective and a simple Eye Protective Device and ear Protective Device should be applied to patients according to their preference and characteristics in the clinical setting.

Work-related ocular injuries in Johor Bahru, Malaysia
Press of International Journal of Ophthalmology (IJO PRESS), 2016Co-Authors: Nyo Nyo Min, Suresh Kumar Vasudevan, Azlyn Azwabinti Jasman, Aisyahbinti Ali, Kay Thi MyintAbstract:AIM:To describe the epidemiology of work-related ocular injuries and its visual outcome in tertiary hospital in southern Malaysia. METHODS:Retrospective review of medical records of patients diagnosed as work-related ocular injuries who attended to the Eye casualty of Hospital Sultan Ismail in Johor Bahru, Malaysia from Jan. 2011 to Dec. 2013. Data for clinical presentation, types of injuries, use of Eye Protective Device(EPD)and visual outcome were collected using a standardized proforma.RESULTS: A total of 935 ocular injuries attended to Hospital Sultan Ismail during 3y period. Among them 440 cases were work-related ocular injuries and included in the study. There was significant male preponderance(98.19%)and commonest age group affected was 21 to 30y(45%). The most common type of injury was superficial injuries(70.91%), followed by chemical(11.13%), open globe(8.41%), closed globe(6.83%)and thermal(2.72%). Although Malays are commonly involved in work-related ocular injury accounted for 78.47%, two-thirds of open globe injuries were seen in foreign workers. Only 59 patients(13.41%)reported that they wore EPD at the time of incident. Generally, 89.86%(n=399)had good vision, 5.45%(n=24)had moderate vision and 3.86%(n=17)poor vision. Visual outcome related to specific types of injuries showed that poor outcome was higher in open globe injuries groups compared with closed globe injuries \〖odd ratio(OR)=3.33, 95% confidence interval(CI)=0.68 to 16.33\〗. Overall hospital attendance rate of work-related ocular trauma ranged from 20.7 to 51.9 per 1000 new cases and decline of approximately 1.5% per year(P

Ocular trauma has fallen on our blind spot
'Medknow', 2016Co-Authors: Kirti Nath JhaAbstract:Trauma-related visual impairment is an unrecognized public health problem. Insufficient epidemiological data on Eye injuries underlies the prevailing apathy. We conducted PubMed search for articles on prevalence/incidence, and epidemiology of Eye injuries/ocular trauma in India published from year 2000 to 2014 and included for analysis the studies with sufficient statistical power. We also retrieved data from National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) and Census of India. Book chapters were also searched for relevant references. Available data throw light on the magnitude and dimensions of trauma-related visual impairment. Andhra Pradesh Eye diseases study recorded history of Eye injuries in 7.5% of a South Indian population, resulting in unilateral blindness in 0.6% of Eye-injured. NSSO 1991 too has recorded high prevalence (35/1000 in rural areas, and 32/1000 in urban areas) of injury-related visual impairment. Results reveal the majority of injuries occur at work in an unorganized sector where Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) cover are almost nonexistent. Data on Eye injuries at home, at sports, and combat-related injuries are incomplete. Due to their cataract-centric design, rapid assessment of avoidable blindness surveys fails to reveal injury-related visual impairment. To estimate injury-related visual impairment, we recommend the establishment of a National Ocular Trauma Registry. Comprehensive population-based surveys shall provide additional sources of data. Compliance with OSH measures, education of workforce, provision of Eye Protective Device for hazardous occupations, mandatory reporting, and monitoring and audit of Eye injuries should go hand-in-hand
