Abstract

Prolonged Standing While Teaching and Musculoskeletal Disorders in Elementary School Teachers in Serang City

Musculoskeletal disorders remain a major global health burden and are among the most common occupational health problems, particularly in the teaching profession. This study examined the association between prolonged standing during teaching and musculoskeletal disorders among elementary school teachers in Serang City, Banten Province. An observational, analytic, cross-sectional study was conducted among 110 teachers, selected using a multi-stage sampling method. Participants completed the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire independently. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Among the respondents, 37.3% reported standing for more than one hour while teaching, while 79.1% experienced musculoskeletal disorders. Statistical analysis showed no significant association between standing duration and musculoskeletal disorders (p = 0.083). However, age, gender, and BMI were significantly associated with the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders. Based on this, it was concluded that most teachers in Serang City stood for less than one hour each time while teaching, but most reported musculoskeletal disorders. Prolonged standing is not significantly associated with musculoskeletal disorders, but other factors, including age, gender, and BMI, may be associated with musculoskeletal disorders. The high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders requires the implementation of work ergonomics, regular stretching activities, and attention to age, gender, and BMI in teachers.
