Nachwuchskräftegewinnung Bedürfnisse & Anreizsysteme Dargestellt am Beispiel eines Landkreises
(2023)
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Nachwuchskräftegewinnung eines Land-kreises in Deutschland untersucht. Anhand interner Statistiken erfolgt eine Analyse der internen Ausbildungssituation. Daneben wird dargestellt, wie die Megatrends demografischer Wandel, Wertewandel, New Work und Digitalisie-rung die Nachwuchskräftegewinnung beeinflussen und welche Chancen und Herausforderungen sich daraus für den Landkreis ergeben. Durch den Ein-satz verschiedener Erhebungstechniken werden bereits durchgeführte Maß-nahmen zur Nachwuchskräftegewinnung betrachtet sowie zukünftiges Ver-besserungspotenzial ermittelt. Auf Fachliteratur basierend werden die auf dem Arbeitsmarkt vorhandenen Generation Babyboomer, Y, Z beschrieben und wesentliche Merkmale zur Charakterisierung erläutert. Darüber hinaus werden die Bedürfnisse der Bewerbergenerationen Y und Z identifiziert, um Anreize zur Rekrutierung abzuleiten. Auf Grundlage der erfolgten Ist-Analyse erfolgen mehrere Handlungsempfehlungen, die die Nachwuchskräftegewinnung des Landkreises verbessern sollen.
Sängerinnen und Sänger gehören zu der Gruppe der sogenannten „Professional Voice User“ bzw. der BerufssprecherInnen. Diese Gruppe ist den höchsten Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Stimmqualität und der Stimmbelastung ausgesetzt. Deshalb haben SängerInnen ein hohes Risiko eine Stimmstörung zu entwickeln, die wiederum ihre Arbeitsfähigkeit und Lebensqualität beeinträchtigen kann. Neben Stimmstörungen mit organischen Ursachen gibt es funktionelle Stimmstörungen, die z.B. durch ein ungünstiges Atemmuster oder Hypertonus der Schulter-, Nacken- und Halsmuskulatur verursacht werden können. In diesem Vortrag werden die unterschiedlichen Risikofaktoren für die Entwicklung einer Stimmstörung bei SängerInnen aufgezeigt. Anschließend werden physiotherapeutische Behandlungsansätze vorgestellt, die als Teil eines multidisziplinären Managements von funktionellen Stimmstörungen bei SängerInnen eingesetzt werden können.
Background: Singers belong to the group of professional voice users with the highest demands regarding voice quality and vocal load. Thus, they also have a high risk of developing a voice disorder, which in return has major impact on their ability to work. Besides voice disorders caused by organic changes, there are functional voice disorders caused by, e.g., a hypertonia of the larynx, shoulder and neck muscles or insufficient breathing patterns. In these cases, physiotherapy can be one component of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment.
The purpose of this presentation is, based on anatomical considerations and current evidence, to inform about and demonstrate physiotherapy techniques for treating singers with functional voice disorders.
Approach of Presentation: A case from a special physiotherapy outpatient clinic for vocalists will be described. Based on this example, information on the evidence of physiotherapy approaches for functional voice disorders will be provided. Afterwards, some practical hands-on techniques will be demonstrated for participants to try.
Content of Presentation: This workshop will focus on the physiotherapy treatment for a vocalist with functional voice disorders. The vocalist experienced changed pitch and hypertonia in both the muscles of the shoulder-neck region and the extrinsic laryngeal muscles. Paralaryngeal manual techniques, in addition to posture and breathing exercises, will be demonstrated with the purpose of mobilizing the larynx and relaxing the hypertonic muscles.
Conclusions and Practical Relevance: This workshop highlights the special potential of physical therapy in the treatment of functional voice disorders in singers.
Ziel des Workshops ist es, das besondere Potential der Physiotherapie im multidisziplinären Management von Sängerinnen und Sängern mit funktionellen Stimmstörungen aufzuzeigen. Anhand eines Fallbeispiels aus der physiotherapeutischen Musikersprechstunde wird der physiotherapeutische Behandlungsansatz vorgestellt. Die Sängerin mit ärztlich diagnostizierter hyperfunktioneller Stimmstörung zeigte Symptome wie ein sternales Atemmuster und Hypertonus der Nacken-, Kiefer- und der äußeren Kehlkopf-Muskulatur. Basierend auf der aktuellen Evidenzlage und der Anatomie werden die theoretischen Überlegungen der klinischen Urteilsbildung erläutert. Das Vorgehen im Behandlungsprozess wird beschrieben und einige praktische Beispiele von Behandlungstechniken, z.B. manualtherapeutische Techniken am Kehlkopf, werden demonstriert.
Körperhaltung und Muskelspannung beeinflussen den Klang der Stimme. Aber gibt es auch einen Zusammenhang zwischen der motorischen Kontrolle der Nacken-, Gesichts- und Kieferregion und der Stimme? Die Pilotstudie mit 12 Sängerinnen ging dieser Frage nach und zeigt: Es ist sinnvoll, die motorische Kontrolle zu testen, wenn Patient*innen mit Stimmproblemen zur Physiotherapie kommen.
Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to determine the motor function of the abdominal muscles in singers with and without functional voice disorders and to examine them for possible differences. Additionally, the breathing behaviour and posture control was investigated.
Study Design
Observational study.
Methods:
Female subjects (n = 20) with differing levels of professional competence were used to provide the data for analysis. By using the Singing Voice Handicap Index (SVHI) the grade of dysphonia could be measured, and the subjects were organized in groups. The change of muscle thickness of the M. transversus abdominis (TVA) and the M. obliquus internus abdominis (OIA) during different singing tasks was measured by using ultrasound. The subjects were then asked to perform the Abdominal Hollowing Test (AHT) with the STABILIZER. Finally, the subjects were all filmed while singing. The videos recordings of the singing sessions were analysed by an independent clinical expert regarding breathing and secondary motor activities (SMA). For the statistical analysis, the Mann-Whitney-U Test and the Chi-Square-Test was mainly used.
Results:
The results showed a significantly thinner TVA in the group with dysphonia in comparison to the group without dysphonia. Ultrasound measurements showed significantly higher changes of muscle thickness of the TVA during singing tasks in the group with dysphonia. Regarding the AHT there was a significant difference between the two groups. The group with dysphonia was not able to increase the pressure by 15mmHg. Furthermore, the healthy subjects demonstrated abdominal breathing, while the group with dysphonia present with thoracic breathing. Additionally, it was noted that the subjects with dysphonia showed a higher level of associated movements especially at and/or on the lumbar spine, cervical spine and the left arm and shoulder.
Conclusion:
Differences in TVA-recruitment, breathing behaviour and secondary motor activities while singing were found. This study sparks new ideas for neuromusculoskeletal assessments and therapy.

rationale: Musculoskeletal problems are widespread in performing artists and are due to the special demands of instrument playing, singing or dancing. Additionally, various other factors might contribute to performance-related musculoskeletal problems. In order to provide a specific physiotherapeutic management for performing artists, it is important to gain information about the performing art, the individual (biomechanical) demands and contributing factors. The subjective examination is the basis of the clinical reasoning process and the hypothesis forming, which is important for goal setting in further clinical examination and biomechanical analysis. In the present protocol, the subjective examination consists of a questionnaire based section and an interview based section and is part of the evaluation process of the neuromusculoskeletal examination of a performing artist specific reference laboratory.
purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a standardized protocol for an interview based subjective examination of performing artists with musculoskeletal problems. The results of this section of the subjective examination will be combined with the results of the questionnaire based subjective examination , in order to gather as much relevant information as possible to specifically address the individual’s musculoskeletal health status.
methods: A common physiotherapeutic recording of findings which addresses the relevant questions of the subjective examination of musculoskeletal problems was used. In order to adapt the anamnesis to performing-related musculoskeletal problems, questions specific to instrument playing, singing and dancing were selected on the basis of a literature search and the expertise of the research group.
results: The protocol is based on the five aspects of clinical practice described by Maitland and the Musculoskeletal Clinical Translation Framework by Mitchell et al. (2017) .The performing art specific questions especially address (1) performing art specific considerations including style, genre, education and professional level, practice habits, repertoire, and external factors, e.g. concert conditions, (2) performing art specific physical and psychosocial contributing factors, and (3) performing art specific activities which trigger the musculoskeletal problems and help to form hypotheses for the following clinical examination. Individual tracks lead through the subjective examination so that irrelevant questions are skipped depending on the kind of musculoskeletal problem and the performing art practiced by the individual client.
conclusions: A pretest of this standardized anamnesis protocol is ongoing in a special physiotherapy clinic for performing artists since spring 2022. In an iterative approach, the protocol will be continuously improved based on patient feedback and clinical considerations.
Fragestellung – In dieser Studie wird der Einfluss des (überstaatlichen) EU-Bio-Siegels und des (privaten) Bioland-Siegels auf die Kauf-, Preis- und Weiterempfehlungsbereitschaft von Bio-Obst und -Gemüse untersucht. Außerdem wird untersucht, inwieweit das Umweltbewusstsein diese Zusammenhänge moderiert.
Methode – In einem Online-Fragebogen bewerten die Probanden nacheinander Werbeanzeigen für Erdbeeren und Kartoffeln, die jeweils mit einer von vier Siegelkombinationen ausgezeichnet sind (beide Siegel/nur Bioland/nur EU/kein Siegel). Mittels Korrelationsanalysen, multivariaten Varianzanalysen und Moderationsanalysen werden die insgesamt 214 Datensätze der Netto-Gesamtstichprobe analysiert.
Ergebnisse – Zwischen der Kauf- und Weiterempfehlungsbereitschaft sowie der maximalen und minimalen Preisbereitschaft bestehen stark positive signifikante Zusammenhänge. Zudem zeigt sich ein jeweils schwach signifikanter Haupteffekt des EU-Bio-Siegels und des Bioland-Siegels auf die maximale Preisbereitschaft. Die Effekte der vier Siegelkombinationen lassen sich jedoch in keine klare hierarchische Ordnung bringen. Das Umweltbewusstsein moderiert den Effekt einer doppelten sowie ausschließlich europäischen Bio-Zertifizierung auf die Kauf-, Preis- und Weiterempfehlungsbereitschaft.
Praktische Implikationen – Bio-Anbieter können Öko-Kennzeichen zur gezielten Steigerung der maximalen Preisbereitschaft einsetzen. Da die untersuchten Siegel bei umweltbewussten Konsumenten die größten Effekte erzielen, ist es ratsam, sich auf diese Zielgruppe zu konzentrieren. Eine generelle Empfehlung für eine freiwillige Zertifizierung mit privaten Logos lässt sich nicht aussprechen.
Ausblick – Zukünftige Forschungsarbeiten sollten die erhobenen Daten unter Berücksichtigung der Messwiederholung auswerten und die Studie mit anderen (Bio-)Siegeln und/oder Produktgruppen replizieren.
The aim of this European interprofessional Health Informatics (HI) Summer School was (i) to make advanced healthcare students familiar with what HI can offer in terms of knowledge development for patient care and (ii) to give them an idea about the underlying technical and legal mechanisms. According to the students’ evaluation, interprofessional education was very well received, problem-based learning focussing on cases was rated positively and the learning goals were met. However, it was criticised that the online material provided was rather detailed and comprehensive and could have been a bit overcharging for beginners. These drawbacks were obviously compensated by the positive experience of working in international and interprofessional groups and a generally welcoming environment.
Background and Aims
Early identification of nerve lesions and associated neuropathic pain in spine-related pain disorders is important for tailored treatment. Management may consist of surgical intervention for compressive neural lesions.
With a growing waitlist for public surgical outpatient clinics in Western Australia and wait times exceeding the recommended wait time for initial assessment (Category 1 – assessment within 1 months, Category 2 within 3 months, category 3 within 12 months), a call to support new models of care has been made1, including the evaluation and expansion of workforce models supporting advanced skills in allied health.1
An Advanced Scope Physiotherapy (ASP) led Neurosurgery Spinal Clinic operates at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Western Australia. The ASPs (2FTE) examine patients from the neurosurgery waitlist for their suitability for spinal surgery. Recommendation of either further investigation and possible assessment by a neurosurgeon or appropriate non-surgical management of the patients’ pain condition is suggested. Patient assessment is conducted either ‘in person’ at the hospital or via telehealth due to the remoteness of some rural patients. Patient cases are discussed with a neurosurgery consultant on a weekly basis. The aim of this project is to evaluate the ASP service in the year 2022.
Method
A retrospective descriptive analysis of patient data captured in 2022 was performed.
Results
In 2022, 1337 new patient referrals were managed plus 267 follow-ups from the previous year. Category 1 patients (n=81) waited on average 31 days for their first appointment, Category 2 patients (n=394) waited 76 days and Category 3 patients (n=854) waited 376 days.
287 (18%) referrals were discharged without physical assessment of the patient (DNA, cancellations, declined). Of the 1317 patients physically assessed by the ASPs (57%) were discharged directly after assessment, for 290 patients (22%) their outcome was still pending at time of analysis (March 2023) and 281 (22%) patients were referred for review with a neurosurgeon. Of the 229 patients assessed by a neurosurgeon (including patients from 2022), 103 patients (45%) were offered surgery, 52 (23%) were not offered surgery, 46 ( 20%) patients had to be reviewed, and for the remaining (n=18) their outcome was unknown.
Conclusion
Of the 1604 patients managed in the Neurosurgery Spinal Clinic, only 17% needed to see a neurosurgeon. The conversion rate to surgery of 45% is higher compared to an estimated 5%-10% in a non-triaged clinic.
The ASP model of care has proved invaluable to (i) provide access of patient care within the recommended wait times (ii) optimize neurosurgeons’ time, (iii) educate patients and, in case of non-suitability for surgery, advise and refer them for alternative appropriate management.
Relevance for Patient Care
The Advanced Scope Physiotherapy model of care at the Neurosurgery Spinal Clinic allows timely assessment of patients with spine-related disorders and supports targeted management of their condition.
