In this chapter, a Negative User Experience (NUX)-based method for deriving sustainability requirements of persuasive software systems is proposed. The method relies on the analysis of NUX assessment, and the exploitation of relationships between the SQ model and the PSD model, which are well-known models for sustainability-quality in software systems and persuasive system design respectively. To illustrate the method, a user study has been conducted involving people in their real working environments while using specific software intended to change their behavior for preventing or reducing repetitive strain injury (RSI). The method allowed us to discover thirteen requirements that contribute to social, technical and economic sustainability dimensions.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are becoming a major problem in world economy. There is many and various risk factors that contribute to their development. Repetitive work is one of the most important risk factor. In this paper is described the body's response to repetitive strain, existing methods for evaluation/ quantification of repetition as risk factor for musculoskeletal disorders. The author proposes a new multidimensional scale for rating the level of risk of repetitive work, which may be useful in the risk assessment of the workplace. Key words: ergonomics, work related musculoskeletal disorders, risk assessment.
