This study aimed to describe the prevalence of ergonomic factors associated with computer vision syndrome (CVS), and knowledge and practices of computer usage among bank workers in the Cape Coast Metropolis, Ghana. A comprehensive eye examination was performed for 139 bankers in the Cape Coast Metropolis. Measurements of ergonomic practices at workstations were carried out and self-administered questionnaires were used to collect socio-demographic data, symptoms of CVS and associated factors as well as knowledge, attitudes and practices of the bankers on CVS. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were carried out to compute the different proportions and relevant associations. . Headaches (73.4%), eyestrain (65.5%) and itching (63.3%) were the most common reported symptoms. The prevalence of CVS in the study population was 71.2% with a high level of poor ergonomic practices (78.4%) at computer workstations. With regard to knowledge, attitudes and practices of the participants on CVS, 68.3% of the participants had low levels of knowledge on CVS, while 90.6% had negative attitudes towards CVS and 46.0% of the participants had poor practices. Bankers had a high prevalence of CVS. Ergonomic practices, females and computer usage were all associated significantly with the presence of CVS.
本研究旨在描述加纳 Cape Coast 都会区银行员工与计算机视觉综合征 (CVS) 相关的人体工程学因素的流行情况，以及他们对计算机使用的知识和实践情况。对 Cape Coast 都会区的 139 名银行家进行了全面的眼部检查。对工作场所的人体工程学实践进行了测量，并使用自我管理的问卷收集社会人口统计学数据、CVS 的症状及其相关因素，以及银行家对 CVS 的知识、态度和实践情况。进行了描述性统计和逻辑回归，以计算不同的比例和相关关联。头痛（73.4%）、眼疲劳（65.5%）和瘙痒（63.3%）是最常见的报告症状。研究人群中 CVS 的患病率为 71.2%，计算机工作站的不良人体工程学实践水平很高（78.4%）。就参与者对 CVS 的知识、态度和实践而言，68.3%的参与者对 CVS 的知识水平较低，而 90.6%的参与者对 CVS 的态度消极，46.0%的参与者实践较差。银行家 CVS 的患病率很高。人体工程学实践、女性和计算机使用均与 CVS 的存在显著相关。
