“…Note that some of these occupational populations have been identified to have some of the highest MSD incidence and lost workday rates for lower back, neck, and upper-and lower-limb disorders [32,70,71,72,73,74,75]. Psychosocial constraints found in home caring tasks are similar to those found in primary school teaching and day care, which are associated with very high risks for stress [47,76,77,78]. However, it is possible, even probable, that tasks called by the same name, such as laundry, differ in biomechanical and psychosocial content according to whether they are performed by a mother of five, a childless married woman who lives with a disabled relative, an elderly woman living alone, a paid household worker, or a worker in a commercial laundry.…”

“…Prevalence of neck and shoulder problems among single women has been found to be positively associated with caring for children (Fredriksson et al 1999, Bjo¨rkste´n et al 2001, Yun et al 2001. Similar studies of other occupational groups involved in childcare reveal that work with children can be very stressful and may be a contributing risk factor to the development of MS symptoms (Messing et al 1997, Ritvanen et al 2004, Ritvanen et al 2006. Fredriksson et al (1999) found that an increase in the number of dependants leads to increased responsibilities, higher levels of stress and a reduction in women's leisure time, which all may contribute to the presence of MS symptoms.…”

“…HRV recordings have been used to study the autonomic nervous system in clinical research studies [6], and now with the development of cost-effective wristop computers, the HRV analysis area has expanded to cover everyday life situations. HRV seems to be an effective method for studying work-related stressors [7,8]. HRV, which is known as a noninvasive measure for cardiovascular autonomic regulation [9], also offers opportunities to study, among others, associations between psychological processes and physiological reactions [10,11].…”
