Abstract

Introduction: Forward head posture (FHP) is a condition of misalignment in the cervical vertebrae where the cervical spine shifts towards a more anterior angle. This change induces stress on the surrounding anatomical structures, leading to comorbidities and pathology. FHP has been identified as prevalent among young adults. Various risk factors contribute to this demographic's high burden of FHP, including increased exposure to modern technologies, such as smartphones. Therefore, our study aims to investigate the prevalence of FHP among university students in our center and analysed risk factors associated with FHP. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang. A total of 126 participants were enrolled. Diagnosis of FHP was determined by measuring the craniovertebral angle (CVA) using ImageJ. Data of risk factors was collected by questionnaire, smartphone addiction scale-short version (SAS-SV) and the neck pain disability index. Ethical approval was obtained from the ethics committee of Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang and participants provided informed consent. Results: The prevalence of FHP in our center was 63.5%. The mean CVA was 48±6o. We discovered that overweight or obese participants had almost 4 times the odds of developing FHP (aOR=3.899, 95%CI [1.3;11.6], p=0.014). A similar trend was also observed in participants with smartphone addiction, who were 4.5 times more likely to develop FHP (aOR=4.41, 95%CI [1.76;11.04], p=0.002). We did not observe a significant association between FHP and neck pain. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates the considerable prevalence of FHP in our center, especially in those with higher BMI and addiction to smartphones. However, we advise caution in interpreting this study to a broader population of students due to its small sample size and cross-sectional design. We recommend larger longitudinal studies analysing strategic risk factors of FHP to construct a basis of policymaking for effective prevention and targeted intervention.

Abstract

The emergence of COVID-19 has highlighted the significance of research in medical practice, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Indonesia, where healthcare challenges are prominent. Therefore, this study introduces Arcandcoresearch, a non-institutional-based virtual Community of Practice (vCoP), aiming to address the research capacity gaps among medical practitioners. This study aimed to understand the possibility of using several social media platforms (Instagram, YouTube, and WhatsApp) in the vCoP for continuing medical education of general practitioners regarding medical research. Through Instagram, the project has gained substantial follower growth (1003 followers within 19 months); most were 25-34 years old (69%). Within six months, 124 medical practitioners participated in five sharing sessions via Zoom meetings. All participants who completed the feedback form were satisfied with the content delivery of the sessions. The recorded sharing sessions were then uploaded to the YouTube channel. It already had 150 subscribers until September 2023, with 397 viewers for the videos uploaded in 2022. We facilitated participants to discuss any concerns related to medical research in the WhatsApp group, which already had 24 participants. These preliminary results highlight the potential of Arcandcoresearch to impact medical research culture positively in LMICs. The next steps should be conducting thorough program evaluations and developing strategies for sustaining virtual engagement.
