Abstract

Information Technology (IT) professionals suffer musculoskeletal problems and injuries more frequently due to their type of work which makes them rely on using computers for a prolonged time. The goal of this study is to analyze the risk factors for work-related musculoskeletal disorders in IT professionals. Amount of 150 IT professionals participated in this study as respondents. The Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire (CMDQ) was used as a measurement tool in determining musculoskeletal complaints among IT professionals. The independent variables (age, gender, working experience, educational level, number of hours spent at work in front of a computer per day, working hours, and exercise habits) that significantly affected the variance in the dependent variable (musculoskeletal disorders) were evaluated using multiple linear regression analysis (p-value < 0.05). IT professionals reported experiencing symptoms most frequently 3–4 times per week in the upper back (45.3%) and back (31.3%), and once or twice per week in the upper back (33.3%) and back (31.3%). Then on the discomfort level, IT professionals feel very uncomfortable in the back (71.3%), upper back (68.7%), and neck (64%). The number of hours spent at work in front of a computer per day (p-values of 0.040) and working hours (p-value of 0,032) are significant predictors of IT professional musculoskeletal disorders. IT professionals reported experiencing the greatest musculoskeletal issues in the right upper extremity, which comprises the right wrist, right forearm, right shoulder, and right upper arm (88%). Back (84%) and left lower extremities (82.7%), which include the left thigh, left knee, and left lower legs, are two other issues that most IT professionals have.

Abstract

Background: Effective hand hygiene is crucial to prevent laboratory-acquired infections (LAIs), yet research on MLTs' practices remains limited. The study examines hand hygiene compliance and adherence factors among Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLTs) at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Health Campus. Methods: A cross-sectional study involved 125 MLTs, utilising self-administered questionnaires to assess sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP), and access to hand hygiene tools. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed to identify key compliance predictors. Results: The findings revealed a high compliance rate of 97.6%, with 94.4% of participants reporting good access to hand hygiene resources. Female MLTs demonstrated significantly higher adherence to hand hygiene protocols as compared to their male counterparts (Adj b= 0.222, 95% CI: 0.040, 0.404), while other factors such as age, education, and training did not significantly affect compliance (p>0.05). Conclusion: Despite high KAP scores, these variables did not predict adherence, highlighting the complex interplay of behavioural and systemic factors in hand hygiene practices. Future studies should explore innovative approaches, including direct observational methods, gender-specific initiatives, and organisational strategies to enhance hand hygiene practices further. These efforts are essential to strengthen infection control measures, promote laboratory safety, and improve outcomes for healthcare workers and patients.
