Occupational Diseases: Doctors and Nurses
Healthcare workers, such as doctors and nurses, are exposed to various illnesses due to their direct contact with patients, long working hours, and high stress levels. Common conditions include:
Burnout syndrome: Chronic stress leads to physical and mental exhaustion.
Infectious diseases: Frequent exposure to pathogens like flu, hepatitis, and tuberculosis.
Musculoskeletal problems: Lifting patients and long hours on their feet cause joint and back pain.
Sleep disorders: Irregular shifts contribute to insomnia.
Mental health issues: Anxiety, depression, and PTSD are common.
Contact dermatitis: Frequent use of gloves and disinfectants causes skin irritation.
Preventive measures and self-care are essential in minimizing these risks.
