Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or CTS for short has a prevalence of between 1% and 5%, with a higher ratio in women with a ratio of 3:1 compared to men. Most of the activities performed by nurses will use excessive and repetitive hand activities. Therefore, nurses have a risk of being disrupted in their daily activities, especially in their activities as nurses due to CTS complaints. The analytic observational method was used for this study to see the events that occurred in the subject without any intervention to the research subject. This study was conducted with a cross sectional research design to see the relationship between age, tenure, work attitude towards CTS complaints in nurses at Dr. Drajat Prawiranegara Serang Hospital.
