The growing population of video display terminal (VDT) operators in today's computerized workplace has led to an increased incidence of common office health problems. The most common of these problems include visual, musculoskeletal, and stress related complaints. The well informed occupational health nurse understands that it is the nature of the work and work environment, not the VDT, which presents health risks to operators. Therefore, the problems can be greatly prevented through proper work station ergonomics and well designed jobs. Education regarding the significance of these issues becomes a key form of intervention. This effort must be directed toward management as well as VDT operators.
在当今计算机化的工作场所中，视频显示终端（VDT）操作员的数量不断增加，导致常见办公健康问题的发生率上升。这些问题中最常见的包括视觉、肌肉骨骼和与压力相关的不适。消息灵通的职业健康护士明白，给操作员带来健康风险的是工作性质和工作环境，而非VDT。因此，通过适当的工作站人体工程学设计和精心设计的工作，可以极大地预防这些问题。关于这些问题重要性的教育成为一种关键的干预形式。这项工作必须针对管理层以及VDT操作员。
