Neck pain ranks fourth on the golden burden of musculoskeletal at the World Health Organization (WHO). Medical faculty students can spend about 6-8 hours studying, even during non-class hours students carry out study activities to deepen the material while sitting for a long duration. The duration of the sitting position is related to the static load received by the neck muscles. This static load on the neck can trigger an increase in muscle tone which in the long term can cause neck pain. This study used an observational-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study used a questionnaire given via Google form in April-May 2022 to all students of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Bengkulu. Sampling was carried out based on total sampling technique. The relationship between the two variables was analyzed using Chi Square and Fisher analysis. The results showed that sitting duration during distance learning had a significant relationship to neck pain with a significance value of 0.005. The results of the study between the duration of sitting during distance learning and the neck disability index did not have a significant relationship with a significance value of 0.604. The duration of sitting during distance learning is significantly related to neck pain while the duration of sitting during distance learning does not have a significant relationship to the neck disability index. Keywords: Duration of Sitting, Neck Pain, Neck Disability Index (NDI) ABSTRAK Nyeri leher menduduki urutan keempat pada golden burden of musculoskeletal pada World Health Organization (WHO). Mahasiswa fakultas kedokteran dapat menghabiskan waktu sekitar 6 – 8 jam untuk belajar, bahkan di jam luar kuliah mahasiswa melakukan kegiatan belajar untuk mendalami materi dengan posisi duduk dalam durasi yang lama. Durasi posisi duduk berhubungan dengan beban statis yang diterima oleh otot – otot leher. Beban statis pada leher ini dapat memicu peningkatan tonus otot yang mana dalam jangka waktu yang panjang dapat menyebabkan terjadinya nyeri leher. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain rancangan observasional – analitik dengan pendekatan cross – sectional. Penelitian menggunakan kuesioner yang diberikan melalui google form pada bulan April-Mei 2022 pada seluruh mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran dan Ilmu Kesehatan Universitas Bengkulu. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan berdasarkan teknik total sampling. Hubungan kedua variabel tersebut dianalisis menggunakan analisis Chi Square serta Fisher. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa durasi duduk saat pembelajaran jarak jauh memiliki hubungan yang signifikan terhadap nyeri leher dengan nilai signifikansi 0,005. Hasil penelitian antara durasi duduk saat pembelajaran jarak jauh terhadap neck disability index tidak memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan nilai signifikansi 0,604. Durasi duduk saat pembelajaran jarak jauh berhubungan secara signifikan terhadap nyeri leher sedangkan durasi duduk saat pembelajaran jarak jauh tidak memiliki hubungan yang signifikan terhadap neck disability index. Kata Kunci: Durasi Duduk, Nyeri Leher, Neck Disability Index (NDI).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
