The study will be conducted in the Obstetrics Departments at the Sheba Medical Center. After approval by the Helsinki Committee at the Medical Center all subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be asked to sign an informed consent form for participation in the study. The first data collection point will be in the early days after birth, when the subjects are still hospitalized. All the subjects will fill out a demographic questionnaire and two more questionnaires regarding the prevalence and intensity of MSD. The REBA, a standardized observation will be conducted to identify the level of ergonomic risk during the performance of two tasks of baby care . The REBA will be analyzed by a therapist who is blinded to the participants group belonging. The participants will be assigned into two groups, intervention group and control group. Number of birth and participant age will be adjusted between the groups. The intervention group will participate in a workshop regarding ergonomic principles in baby care. A brochure will be distributed summarizing the main contents of the workshop. One month and two months after the intervention, participants in the intervention group will receive a videotaped reminder of the principles presented at the workshop via an email or WhatsApp message, along with a request to report the intensity of pain. The control group will not receive the intervention at this time but will also be asked to fill in the scale at the same time points. Three months after delivery, all subjects will complete the questionnaires regarding the prevalence and intensity of MSD. The REBA will be performed in order to identify the ergonomic risk level during the performance of the same two tasks of baby care. At this point, the control group will receive the intervention in the format of the brochure and videos sent via email or WhatsApp. The final data collection will be six to twelve months after delivery when all subjects will complete the same questionnaires and a recurrent REBA standardized observation in order to identify the ergonomic risk level during the performance of the same two baby-care tasks will be performed for the last time.
