Abstract

Background: A formal worker is anyone who works for a business entity that has been registered at a government office. Those who work in the formal sector are identical to office work, with long duration of work, tend to be in a static position, and there are repetitive movements, thereby increasing the potential of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). This can interfere with work productivity and work outcomes expected of formal sector workers. Methods: This study was a descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional approach with purposive sampling technique. Data was collected in June 2022 using a personal data questionnaire and the Nordic body map (NBM) questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was performed on the data using IBM SPSS 26 software. Results: Musculoskeletal complaints were found in the upper neck 8.8%, lower neck 6.8%, left shoulder 6.8%, right shoulder 5.4%, back 7.3% and waist 8.3%. Twelve people experienced moderate pain in the waist, 7 people experienced pain in the upper neck, and 2 people experienced very painful feeling in the waist. There were 35 respondents have a low MSD risk level 87.5% and 5 respondents have a moderate MSD risk level 12.5%. Conclusion: The respondents mostly had complaints around the upper neck, lower neck, left shoulder, right shoulder, back, and waist. There were risks of MSD in formal sector workers of risk of the MSD complaints experienced is predominantly low. The ergonomics approach can be applied to respondents with a higher level of risk.

Abstract

Background: Forward head posture (FHP) on bank workers who work a lot of time in front ofcomputer can cause balance problems due to anatomical changes in the neck. This can disrupt work productivity when further complaints occur. This research aimed to determine the relationship between FHP with static and dynamic balance among computer-using bank workers in Denpasar City. Methods: The study was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sampling method used was purposive sampling. The sample size was 68 people determined by the Lemeshow method. Photogrammetry method used to assess CVA and determine FHP criteria. Single Leg Stance Test (SLS) was used to assess static balance, and the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) was used to assess dynamic balance. The inclusion criteria were bank workers that had proven with an employee card, were 25-50 years of age, working with a computer for around 1-4 hours daily or more, had a minimum of one year of service as an employee, willing to be a subject, and filled out informed consent as the approval. Exclusion criteria included subjects having a history of musculoskeletal disorders. Results: Spearman rho analysis shows significant correlations between FHP with static and dynamic balance respectively, r = 0.817 and r =0.500 (p-values= 0.000). Conclusion: Based on the result, there are linear strong and moderate significance correlations between forward head posture with static and dynamic balance respectively on computer-using bank workers in Denpasar city. Posture education and stretching exercises through ergonomics training by the institution should be conducted to minimize the ongoing effects of FHP and prevent decreased work productivity.
