This study aimed to identify workstation factors influencing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among information technology (IT) professionals in Indonesia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 150 IT workers at small-enterprise companies who were randomly selected across East Java, Indonesia. The data were modeled using multiple linear regression, with a 95% level of confidence for determining statistical significance.
The respondents reported that the neck had the highest level of discomfort and was the most at risk of WMSDs, followed by the lower back, right shoulder, and upper back. Screen use duration (p=0.040) was associated with whole-body WMSDs, along with seat width (p=0.059), armrest (p=0.027), monitor (p=0.046), and a combined telephone and monitor score (p=0.028). Meanwhile, the factors significantly related to the risk of WMSDs in the hands and wrist were working period (p=0.039), night shift (p=0.024), backrest (p=0.008), and mouse score (p=0.032).
Occupational safety authorities, standards-setting departments, and policymakers should prioritize addressing the risk factors for WMSDs among IT professionals.
本研究旨在确定影响印度尼西亚信息技术（IT）专业人员工作相关肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSD）的工作站因素。
在印度尼西亚东爪哇，对 150 名小型企业公司的 IT 工作人员进行了横断面研究。采用多元线性回归对数据进行建模，置信水平为 95%，以确定统计学意义。
受访者报告称，颈部不适程度最高，患 WMSD 的风险最大，其次是下背部、右肩部和上背部。屏幕使用时间（p=0.040）与全身 WMSD 相关，与座椅宽度（p=0.059）、扶手（p=0.027）、显示器（p=0.046）和电话和显示器总分（p=0.028）相关。同时，与手部和手腕 WMSD 风险相关的因素有工作时间（p=0.039）、夜班（p=0.024）、靠背（p=0.008）和鼠标评分（p=0.032）。
职业安全当局、标准制定部门和政策制定者应优先考虑解决 IT 专业人员 WMSD 的风险因素。
