To study the prevalence of health disorders among computer professionals and its association with working environment conditions.
Cross sectional.
A sample size of 200 computer professionals, from Delhi and NCR which included software developers, call centre workers, and data entry workers.
The prevalence of visual problems in the study group was 76% (152/200), and musculoskeletal problems were reported by 76.5% (153/200). It was found that there was a gradual increase in visual complaints as the number of hours spent for working on computers daily increased and the same relation was found to be true for musculoskeletal problems as well. Visual problems were less in persons using antiglare screen, and those with adequate lighting in the room. Musculoskeletal problems were found to be significantly lesser among those using cushioned chairs and soft keypad.
A significant proportion of the computer professionals were found to be having health problems and this denotes that the occupational health of the people working in the computer field needs to be emphasized as a field of concern in occupational health.
研究计算机专业人员健康问题的患病率及其与工作环境条件的关联。
横断面研究。
从德里及国家首都辖区选取200名计算机专业人员作为样本，包括软件开发人员、呼叫中心工作人员和数据录入人员。
研究组中视觉问题的患病率为76%（152/200），肌肉骨骼问题的报告率为76.5%（153/200）。研究发现，随着每天在电脑上工作时间的增加，视觉问题逐渐增多，肌肉骨骼问题也呈现相同的关系。使用防眩光屏幕的人和房间照明充足的人视觉问题较少。在使用带靠垫椅子和软键盘的人中，肌肉骨骼问题明显较少。
发现相当一部分计算机专业人员存在健康问题，这表明计算机领域工作人员的职业健康需要作为职业健康领域的一个关注重点加以强调。
