Abstract :

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders indicate problems with the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves. Discomfort in the musculoskeletal system is often felt in the neck, shoulders, arms, hands, back, waist, and lower body muscles. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) experienced by workers in community health centers can reduce productivity, increase absenteeism, and decrease the quality of health services.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between occupational and individual risk factors and the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders among workers at the Naibonat Public Health Center, Indonesia.This study applied an observational quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The sample was taken using random sampling techniques with a total of 50 samples. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed using the Contingency Coefficient test and Spearman’s rank correlation test with the help of the SPSS program.

Result: The results of the analysis showed that the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among workers was 72% at a low-risk level, 24% at a moderate-risk level, and 4% at a high-risk level. No significant associations were found between individual factors (age, sex, and body mass index) and the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders (p > 0.05). In contrast, occupational factors including work posture and length of service showed significant associations with musculoskeletal disorders (p < 0.05), while daily working duration was not significantly associated (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: MSD among workers at the Naibonat Public Health Center were predominantly at a low-risk level. Work posture and length of service were significantly associated with musculoskeletal disorders, highlighting the need for periodic ergonomic evaluations, posture training, regular stretching exercises, and promotion of physical fitness among primary healthcare workers.
