Abstract

Mental strain is still a much debated health problem for people working in the electronic workplace. Ergonomics and design help make offices user-friendly, and physical strain can be prevented. A common reason for mental strain is the lack of adequate instruction in the new technologies for employees. An investigation based upon patient information shows the method of instruction used, and recommendations are made. as to which ones should be used. The investigation also shows that environmental factors have to be taken into consideration and that often side-effects have to be dealt with.
