Beware of sub-health of teachers' health killers
Teachers are known as "hardworking gardeners" and "engineers of human souls". However, only a few people can keep healthy in the arduous teaching process, and it seems that the work with a sick child has become a feature of teachers.
What occupational diseases are our teachers prone to? How to prevent these diseases? On the occasion of Teacher's Day, the reporter visited some school doctors and hospital experts.
The sub-health of teachers is as high as 34. 16%.
In the education system, "sub-health" is spreading rapidly, and the incidence of severe sub-health among college teachers is as high as 34. 16%, which is obviously shocking compared with the incidence of severe sub-health among ordinary people.
Dr. Xu Tianhong from the Clinical Psychology Department of Tongren Hospital believes that eliminating sub-health has become one of the most important tasks for teachers at present, and the method is to establish a new concept of modern health from both mentality and behavior.
First of all, life should have certain rules to avoid overwork; Second, reasonable diet and balanced nutrition; Third, moderate exercise and perseverance; Fourth, pay attention to hygiene, quit smoking and drinking; Finally, psychological balance, contentment is always happy. When you are young, don't trade your life for money. Conversely, when you are old, you should trade your life for money.
Relax properly to prevent back injury.
In addition, teachers often have to write on the blackboard and stand for a long time, which is easy to cause diseases such as low back pain and varicose veins. Because the teacher wants to write on the blackboard, he needs to raise his arm, which leads to fasciitis of the neck and back and rotator tendinitis of the shoulder. If left untreated, it will not only aggravate the pain, but also develop into cervical degenerative arthritis. The cervical spine aches from time to time, and in severe cases, the shoulders and back feel weak, and even have a headache, and the arms cannot be raised. When the teacher feels backache, he can apply hot compress on the painful part for 20 minutes to get temporary relief. But this can only cure the symptoms. The best way is to adjust the posture and length of time at work, exercise moderately, and have enough rest to prevent bone and muscle diseases.
Teachers standing in class for a long time can easily lead to varicose veins. They can wear elastic socks to prevent varicose veins and do more exercise to promote blood circulation in their legs, such as jogging or massaging their legs?
Protecting vocal cords requires a combination of work and rest, which complement each other.
When it comes to teachers' occupational diseases, the first thing people think of is pharyngitis. For teachers who need to keep talking on weekdays, the most troublesome health problem is probably vocal nodules. Vocal nodules are caused by improper impact on the left and right vocal cords due to long-term continuous use of vocal cords or incorrect pronunciation, and nodules proliferate. The patient has a sore throat and a hoarse voice. Mild symptoms can be relieved by drugs, and severe cases need surgical resection of nodules.
If a teacher wants to keep a mellow voice, the most important thing is to correct the way of speaking and change chest breathing into abdominal breathing.
