Seiring perkembangan berbagai metode pendidikan di Indonesia secara tidak langsung menimbulkan berbagai masalah kesehatan bagi siswa siswi sekolah, khususnya siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) hal ini akan berdampak kepada bertambah beratnya beban yang dibawa didalam tas siswa SMA. Namun beragamnya jenis tas yang digunakan oleh siswa SMA dapat menyebabkan ketidakseimbangan distribusi beban yang diterima oleh tubuh siswa bahkan menyebabkan timbulkan berbagai gangguan musculoskeletal yang berujung kepada perubahan dari postur tubuh yang seringkali tidak terindentifikasi. Tujuan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi adanya perubahan postur siswa SMA Negeri 1 Pemulutan barat akibat beban berlebih. Pelaksanaan survei dilakukan dengan melakukan penimbangan tas punggung siswa sekolah dasar, mengukur berat badan, dan ditanyakan dengan kuesioner apakah siswa tersebut mengalami nyeri punggung dengan sebab non traumatik dan kelainan fisik seminggu terakhir lalu mengukur postur siswa menggunakan posture chart zone. Hasil pemeriksaan didapatkan 3 dari 25 sample ditemukan memiliki perbedaan tinggi bahu kanan dan kiri. Hal tersebut merupakan gejala awal dari gangguan muskuloskeletal berupa deviasi postural. Kesimpulan Adanya perubahan postur pada 12 % siswa SMA Negeri 1 Pemulutan Barat. As the development of various methods of education in Indonesia indirectly raises a variety of health problems for school students, especially high school students, this will have an impact on increasing the weight carried in the bag of high school students. The variety of types of bags used by high school students can cause an imbalance in the distribution of the load received by the student's body and even cause various musculoskeletal disorders which lead to changes in body postures that are often not identified. This community service aims to identify changes in the posture of the students of West Pelangi 1 High School due to excessive burden. Method : The survey was conducted by weighing backpacks of elementary school students, measure weight, and be asked with questionnaire whether the student has back pain due to non traumatic and physical abnormalities in the past week and then measuring the posture of students using posture chart zone. Results : There were 3 out of 25 samples found to have differences in right and left shoulder height. This is the initial symptom of a musculoskeletal disorder in the form of postural deviation. Conclusion ,There is a change in posture in 12% of students of West Smear 1 High School.

Background: The undetermined headache, which is not classified as a primary headache, might be a mobile phone associated headache (MPAH). Objective: To investigate the smartphone electromagnetic radiation related to undetermined headaches among high school students. Materials and Methods: One hundred forty-five high school students in the Chiang Mai Province completed a headache diary according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders version 3 beta criteria. It was scored according to the diagnosis algorithm. The smartphone output power (SOP) as measured and recorded by the smartphone application was saved every five minutes and transmitted by email. The completed data included 12,969 entries. The smartphone use, sleep quality, anxiety, and depression were also assessed. Data were analyzed using the Generalized Estimating Equation adjusted for demographic data, smartphone use, and sleep quality, and other. Results: Most students were female 74.7% with a mean age of 17.63±1.01 years (range 16 to 20). The one-year headache prevalence was 92.6% (95% CI 90.8 to 94.1) with undetermined headaches at 18.7% and 16.9% in the first and second phase, respectively. Characteristically, the prevalence of MPAH was higher in the nature of short duration pain, pulsing and tightening, indefinite form of pain, pain occurring in the morning, one side headache at occipital or frontal areas, and low pain severity (p<0.05). The results revealed the strongest effect of SOP at 1.80×10⁻⁵ to 1.99×10⁻⁵ mW range on the undetermined headaches with ORadj 2.32; 95% CI 1.23 to 4.34. Furthermore, the undetermined headaches also had the strongest association with handfree use and internet use (ORadj 1.92; 95% CI 1.11 to 3.29 and ORadj 2.33; 95% CI 1.71 to 3.19, respectively), age, and anxiety (ORadj 1.49; 95% CI 1.26 to 1.76 and ORadj 1.12; 95% CI 1.07 to 1.17, respectively). Conclusion: The undetermined headache associated with SOP, which was a MPAH. These results suggest that an older age for starting smartphone use and utilizing a hand-free device were recommended to prevent chronic headaches. Keywords: Smartphone output power, Undetermined headache, Mobile phone associated headache

Abstract Objectives Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a group of various eye and vision-related problems from prolonged use of mobile devices. Symptoms include dry eyes, blurred vision, eye strain, headache, and also neck and shoulder pain. This study was carried out to analyze the correlation between the exposure time of High Energy Visible (HEV) from mobile devices’ use and the prevalence of evaporative dry eyes in young age. Methods An observational cross-sectional study was done using quota sampling method for 100 High School students. Data collection was performed using questionnaire to identify daily use of mobile devices (hours) and duration for using mobile devices (years). A classification was determined as mild, moderate, and heavy HEV exposure. Evaporative dry eyes were diagnosed using tear break-up time test (TBUT) of less than 10 s for both eyes. Results Ninety-four students participated in this study. A total of 82 students (87.2%) experienced evaporative dry eyes. There were 11 students (11.7%) who had dry eyes with mild exposure, 18 students (19.1%) had dry eyes with moderate exposure, and 53 students (56.4%) had dry eyes with heavy exposure. A chi square analysis showed all HEV exposures have similar risk to the prevalence of dry eyes among High School students (p<0.05). Conclusions The risk of developing evaporative dry eyes, as one of the symptoms of CVS in young age with normal tear production, could be induced even with minimal exposure to mobile devices.
