What role does workplace design play in reducing the impact of prolonged standing and sitting?
Workplace design is pivotal in minimizing the adverse effects of prolonged standing and sitting. Ergonomically designed workspaces with adjustable chairs, desks, and equipment can significantly reduce physical strain. Additionally, having designated areas for short breaks and stretches can encourage nurses to take the necessary pauses during their shifts. The integration of sit-stand desks can also allow nurses to alternate between sitting and standing, promoting better health.
