| description | This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, ergonomic risk levels, and identify ergonomic factors in computer workstation. A questionnaire-based interview and painself report form of the workers were collected among 76 office workers using Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) and direct observation using Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) to determine ergonomic risks. The mean age for men was 37.0 (SD = 9.4) and women was 34.3 (SD = 8.7). While for the total mean number of working experience was 10.0 (SD = 7.7). The highest prevalence rate of musculoskeletal symptoms among office workers were in the lower back (53.9%), neck region while women had 58.6% musculoskeletal pain on the shoulder region over the last 12 months. From logistic regression analysis, chair height score and back support score were significantly associated with low back pain. |
