Abstract
Background: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in Indonesia in 2020 based on diagnoses made by health workers is 11.9% and based on diagnosis or symptoms is 24.7%. The results of a preliminary study of 5 workers using a Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire showed that 100% of workers experienced MSDs complaints. The purpose of this study was to determine various factors associated with complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among workers in the production division of PT. X in Bandung City. Methods: This study is a quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. There were 64 workers selected as sample, using a simple random sampling technique. The research instrument utilized a Nordic body map questionnaire. Chi-square was used as a bivariate test. Results: There is a relationship between age and MSDs complaints (p-value = 0.000), years of service (p-value = 0.000), and work posture (p-value = 0.042). There is no relationship between smoking habits (p-value = 0.157), and body mass index (p-value = 0.169) with complaints of MSDs. Conclusion: This study concluded that there is a relationship between age, years of service, and work posture with complaints of MSDs. There is no relationship between smoking habits and body mass index with MSDs complaints. Preventive measures should be promoted among the factors workers to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Hence, workers should be given time to stretch for ± 5 minutes at rest to relax the muscles again.
