Cumulative trauma disorders: developing a framework for prevention.
1. The mechanism of a special order by a regulatory agency is an effective tool to reduce workplace CTD injuries. 2. Occupational health nurses can make a major contribution to the health of workers in their companies by developing an ergonomic program to identify the scope of the problem and by providing early identification and conservative treatment. 3. A workplace prevention program for CTD injuries consists of job analysis, recordkeeping, and corrective measures including engineering controls, administrative controls, personal protective equipment, treatment, and training components. 4. The goals of any program to control CTD are to prevent injury and disability to the employee, control costs of such injury to the employee and company, and comply with OSHA regulations.

General nursing and occupational health nursing: a comparison of scientific progress.
Education, research, theory development, and scientific knowledge development are indices that can be used to measure scientific progress. The progress of occupational health nursing science has followed the progress of general nursing science by a period of 20 years. A critical mass of doctorally prepared occupational health nurses is necessary for the scientific development of the profession. Federal funding of doctoral programs in occupational health is needed to increase these numbers. Occupational health nursing has established research priorities. Acting on these priorities will help develop scientifically based nursing practice.
