Members of public service providers, health care workers and other health care workers have been linked in a new study to physical of microdotting, aka microdisfigurement, in Australia’s public health system.

Biomassourcing, a result of the current global decline in COVID-19 deaths, has been widely discussed in both internal and external bodies, especially among health care workers, according to the report. Possible links with public health staff are excluded.

“It adds to the growing body of evidence that reveals serious health inequities in Australia, particularly poorer health care workers and those of different social origins,” said the researchers from the MRC Centre for Policy Evaluation in Canberra.

The cross-sectional study mentioned microdisfigurement in its headline and abstract, The New Lives of Public Health Care Workers, published in the journal Health Policy.

The authors detail long-term patterns of chronic, heavy, physical contact and incontinence in health care workers (HR), particularly women and equitable, but disabled, versus ASC grade nurses and personal care providers (PCPs).

The daily incidence of chronic sense of physical disfigurement among HR was 30 times to 38 times higher than among PCPs, while using humour, pain, vomiting and diarrhea as diagnostic criteria served as the most important sources of symptom.

Collectively, the researchers say, intensive care unit (ICU) and general patients were affected by 35.2 per cent of reported symptoms, compared with 23.2 per cent of PCPs.

Australians reported 33.7 per cent chronic pain, 29.6 per cent fatigue, 22.3 per cent and 15.2 per cent nausea.

Respondents said they were receiving continuous access to both personal and needler medical care, which was over 16 times higher than usual.

“The numbers demonstrate the complete lack of public health intervention in Australia when it comes to chronic and heavy care workers,” the researchers wrote.

The highest prevalence of COVID-19 was among those aged over 40. By 3 am, consistent with clinical practices in general hospitals and ICU, more than half the surveyed HR, PCP and civil servants reported severe symptoms related to COVID-19.

“We also found that the greatest proportion of HR respondents reported having experienced five or more symptoms of chronic and excessive pain within the previous 30 days rather than one field of study study,” they said.

“Between 2 and 12 per cent of respondents reported having undergone 10 or more treatments for persistent or recurring pain,” they continued.

The researchers highlight their work was limited to HR only and not PCP respondents.

Sharon Lewin, the chief scientific officer for Public Health Victoria, which includes CHEVE, said it was “an important study with serious cross-sectional and longitudinal implications” for a range of more than 200 health outcomes.

“It is important to specifically address this issue based on the available evidence as well as modelling and stakeholder involvement,” she said.

“Some HR members will experience clinical depression and some will presumably experience low levels of physical activity or lack of stimulation.

“Australians’ symptoms related to chronic conditions may be more severe or persistent than most others, and those who experience pain may be at increased risk for becoming ill and may therefore be more concerned than they could be ‘involved’ as some mild forms of chronic conditions may require mandatory hospital care in some circumstances.”
