Keywords:
ergonomic, physiotherapy, work-related musculoskeletal disordersAbstract
The application of ergonomic guidelines is essential for the prevention of Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) among physiotherapists and for enhancing the quality of healthcare services. This study evaluates the relationship between physiotherapist compliance with ergonomics implementation and the incidence of Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. A total of 244 physiotherapists, members of the Indonesian Physiotherapists Association in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, were selected through a purposive sampling technique for data collection. This research employed a quantitative correlation design with a cross-sectional methodology, utilizing a questionnaire for data collection and a chi-square test to assess statistical significance. This study demonstrates that the demographic characteristics of physiotherapists play a crucial role in the level of knowledge regarding Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs), where the most vulnerable group with low knowledge comprises physiotherapists aged 21-30 years, male gender, holding a diploma degree (D3), specializing in musculoskeletal practice, and possessing 6-10 years of work experience and the statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between knowledge of ergonomics and the occurrence of Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) (p < 0.05), as well as between ergonomics practices and the incidence of Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) (p < 0.05). The findings assess the significance of ergonomics in physiotherapy practice and highlight the importance of educational interventions and ergonomics training to enhance physiotherapists' adherence to ergonomic principles aimed at preventing Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs).
