Globally, computer vision syndrome is the most common eye problem which is associated with prolonged exposure to a computer. It has a great socioeconomic impact on the users due to its effect on job performance. Recently, many people in the world, including our country Ethiopia, especially bank workers, are spending most of their time in front of a computer screen to facilitate their work. Since it is assumed that knowledge is pertinent to prevent computer vision syndrome, this study was aimed at assessing the understanding of bank workers towards computer vision syndrome.
An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 248 bank workers. The study participants were selected by using a simple random sampling technique. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data from the bank workers. The data was entered and analyzed by SPSS version 21 software.
A total of 248 bank workers completed the questionnaire fully, which was a response rate of 93.5% ( = 234). Among them, 155 (66.20%) were males and the majority of the respondents were in the age group of 20-39 years (223, 95.3%). The study revealed that from 234 respondents, 211 (90.20%) were aware of computer vision syndrome, while 26.9% of them had a good knowledge about the disorder. Majority of the respondents (40, 17.1%) cited mass media as a source of information.
Even though the majority of computer-using bank workers heard of computer vision syndrome, it was recognized that only a small portion of the participants had good knowledge.
在全球范围内，计算机视觉综合征是与长时间使用计算机相关的最常见眼部问题。由于其对工作表现的影响，它对使用者具有重大的社会经济影响。最近，世界上许多人，包括我国埃塞俄比亚的人，尤其是银行工作人员，为了方便工作，大部分时间都花在电脑屏幕前。由于认为知识对于预防计算机视觉综合征至关重要，本研究旨在评估银行工作人员对计算机视觉综合征的了解情况。
对248名银行工作人员进行了一项基于机构的横断面研究。研究参与者采用简单随机抽样技术选取。使用自填式问卷从银行工作人员中收集数据。数据使用SPSS 21版软件录入和分析。
共有248名银行工作人员完整填写了问卷，回复率为93.5%（n = 234）。其中，155名（66.20%）为男性，大多数受访者年龄在20 - 39岁之间（223名，95.3%）。研究显示，在234名受访者中，211名（90.20%）知晓计算机视觉综合征，而其中26.9%的人对该病症有良好的了解。大多数受访者（40名，17.1%）提到大众媒体是信息来源。
尽管大多数使用计算机的银行工作人员听说过计算机视觉综合征，但据认识，只有一小部分参与者有良好的了解。
