Background of the Study
Teachers often spend long hours standing while delivering lessons, leading to increased physical strain on the lower limbs. Prolonged standing has been linked to various health issues, including musculoskeletal pain and varicose veins (Ogunlade & Musa, 2023). Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins caused by weakened vein walls and poor circulation, commonly occurring in the legs.
Studies show that individuals who stand for extended periods, such as teachers, healthcare workers, and factory employees, are at higher risk of developing varicose veins (Ahmed et al., 2024). Despite this, little research has been conducted on the prevalence of varicose veins among teachers in Taraba State. This study aims to investigate the impact of prolonged standing on varicose veins and recommend preventive measures.
Statement of the Problem
Many teachers in Taraba State experience leg pain, swelling, and visible varicose veins due to prolonged standing. However, the association between prolonged standing and varicose veins remains under-researched in Nigeria. Additionally, teachers often lack access to workplace health interventions to mitigate the risk. This study seeks to assess the prevalence of varicose veins among teachers and propose strategies to reduce the health impact of prolonged standing.
Objectives of the Study
-
To examine the prevalence of varicose veins among teachers in Taraba State.
-
To identify the impact of prolonged standing on the development of varicose veins.
-
To recommend workplace interventions to prevent varicose veins among teachers.
