Abstract: Low Back Pain (LBP) is the most frequent musculosceletal issue found in daily work. Extenuating physical positions comprise 80-85% of the caues of  LBP. In the medical world, a lot of causes of LBP do not identify the pathoanatomical disorders. These factors are e.g.: body in static position while working and the working body position leaning heavily on the vertebra (for example: sitting in a hunched position, sitting upright without back support, or working for unsually long periods of time). Until now in Manado no study has been carried out to show the correlation between LBP and the sitting position, or the duration of work. This study aimed to find out the correlation between chronic LBP and the sitting position or the duration of work among bank employees in one of the goverment banks in Manado. The results showed that there were 69 respondents involved in this study. Chronic LBP was found in 62 respondents (90%). Up stright position while sitting was the most frequent position that caused chronic LBP in 28 respondents. The average time used for working with sitting position was 7-8 hours which caused chronic LBP among 31 respondents of the group with the work time from 11.00-13.59. A P-value of 0.000 (<0.05) showed that there was a strong correlation between sitting position and chronic LBP. Duration of work also showed a strong correlation with chronic LBP with a P-value of 0.000. Conclusion: There were strong correlations beween chronic low back pain with sitting position while working and duration of work. Keywords: chronic LBP chronic, sitting position, duration of work, bank employees.   Abstrak:Nyeri Punggung Bawah (NPB) merupakan gangguan muskuloskeletal yang paling sering dijumpai dalam aktivitas kerja. Faktor mekanik mencakup 80-85% dari keseluruhan penyebaNPB. Patoanatomi sering tidak dapat memberikan ketepatan diagnosis NPB oleh proses mekanik. Faktor mekanik yang mempercepat terjadinya gangguan NPB antara lain posisi badan yang cenderung statis, posisi badan yang cenderung memperberat kerja tulang-tulang vertebra seperti posisi badan membungkuk, tegak tanpa sandaran, dan waktu bekerja yang lama saat duduk. Hubungan NPB dengan posisi dan lama duduk belum pernah dilaporkan di Kota Manado. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan posisi dan lama duduk saat bekerja yang dapat menimbulkan NPB mekanik kronik pada karyawan bank. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan dari keseluruhan responden yang berjumlah 69 orang, didapatkan 62 responden (90%) yang mengalami NPB mekanik kronik. Posisi duduk tegak tanpa sandaran merupakan posisi terbanyak menimbulkan NPB mekanik kronik pada 28 responden. Rata-rata lama duduk bekerja 7-8 jam menyebabkan NPB pada kelompok pukul 11.00-13.59 sebanyak 31 responden. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji chi-square memperlihatkan adanya korelasi yang kuat (P = 0,000) antara posisi duduk dan NBP mekanik kronik Lama duduk juga berkorelasi kuat dengan NBP mekanik kronik (P = 0,000). Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang kuat antara NBP mekanik kronik dengan posisi dan lama duduk pada karyawan bank. Kata kunci: NPB mekanik kronik, posisi duduk, lama duduk, karyawan bank.

Low Back Pain (LBP) merupakan salah satu gangguan muskuloskeletal akibat dari ergonomi yang salah. Secara umum nyeri ini disebabkan karena peregangan otot dan posisi duduk juga turut mempengaruhi risiko Low Back Pain (LBP) karena Posisi duduk yang kurang ergonomis seperti duduk dalam posisi membungkuk dapat memicu kerja otot yang kuat dan lama sehingga aliran darah ke otot terhambat. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui  hubungan posisi duduk dengan kejadian Low Back Pain (LBP) pada pegawai di STIKes Muhammadiyah Palembang. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan cross-sectional dengan uji chi square yang dilakukan pada bulan Mei 2019 di STIKes Muhammadiyah Palembang. Dengan jumlah sampel 32 responden. Teknik pengambilan sampel total sampling. Hasil : Hasil dari penelitian menunjukan bahwa responden dengan posisi duduk tidak ergonomis memiliki resiko mengalami Low Back Pain (LBP) sebanyak (50.0%) lebih besar dibandingkan dengan posisi duduk ergonomis dengan nilai p-value sebesar 0,021, dan nilai OR =0.125.

Aim of this study is to educate pregnant women about posture and application of biomechanical principles in functional and work related activities and to prevent low back pain with help of Exercise Program and Education. Patients were randomly allocated in two groups. Group A included 30 patients and they received traditional antenatal care. Group B included more 30 patients and received therapeutic exercise and ADL instructions. They had one visit every two week for six weeks. In each visit both groups were evaluated for variables including pain, tenderness, mobility index and sleep. Pain was assessed by subjective intensity and VAS; tenderness was evaluated by tenderness index, mobility index by scoter test and SLR (straight leg rising). All the relevant collected data were recorded in prescribed data sheet and analyzed by using computer based statistical packages for social science (SPSS). A ‘p’ value < 0.05 was considered as significant. Student’s‘t’ test and Chi-square test was done to see the level of significance as required. The Study concluded that the back care in the form of Exercise Program and Postural Education given to women as early in their pregnancy as possible may prevent back pain or decrease the severity of back pain if it occurs.Medicine Today 2015 Vol.27(1): 8-11
