Abstract

Many educational institutions have not given sufficient attention to ergonomics. This can trigger complaints of pain in certain parts of the body, boredom, fatigue in students, and cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study aims to analyze the effect of ergonomic seating on neck and shoulder complaints among Computer and Network Engineering (TKJ) students at SMK Pancasila 4 Baturetno. This type of research is a quasi-experiment with a control group and a pre-post test. A total of 83 students who received computer-based learning were the subjects of the study, divided into 41 in the treatment group and 42 in the control group. The treatment group received an ergonomics education video once per week for 1 month. Pain complaints were measured using a validated, reliable questionnaire.  The Shapiro-Wilk normality test on the pretest data showed that both groups were normally distributed (Control Group, p=0.123; Treatment Group, p=0.148). The results of the paired-samples T-test in the Treatment group showed a significant change in neck and shoulder complaints (p<0.001), whereas the control group showed no significant change (p=0.380). The Mann-Whitney U test also showed a significant difference between post-test in the treatment group and post-test in the control group (p<0.001). The results of this study indicate that ergonomic seating significantly reduces neck and shoulder complaints among students who interact extensively with computers.
