This study examined the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and their associated factors among 1st to 4th-year students at Walailak University who attended virtual classrooms for 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 382 students aged 18-23 years with no history of musculoskeletal disease or psychiatric disorder who had at least three months of virtual classroom learning. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests.
Most musculoskeletal abnormalities occurred in the shoulders, head and neck, and lower back at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months, respectively. At one week and one month in virtual classrooms, the occurrence of MSDs among the students was correlated with psychosocial factors (p < 0.05), and at three months, MSDs were associated with personal factors such as body mass index and psychosocial factors (p < 0.05).
Stress management for students should be implemented in virtual classrooms to prevent MSDs.
本研究调查了瓦莱拉大学1至4年级学生中肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD)的患病率及其相关因素,这些学生参加了为期1周、1个月和3个月的虚拟课堂。
对382名年龄在18 - 23岁、无肌肉骨骼疾病或精神疾病史且至少有三个月虚拟课堂学习经历的学生进行了横断面研究。使用卡方检验和费舍尔精确检验进行统计分析。
大多数肌肉骨骼异常分别在1周、1个月和3个月时出现在肩部、头部和颈部以及下背部。在虚拟课堂学习1周和1个月时,学生中MSD的发生与心理社会因素相关(p < 0.05),而在3个月时,MSD与体重指数等个人因素和心理社会因素相关(p < 0.05)。
应在虚拟课堂中对学生实施压力管理以预防MSD。
