dc.description.abstract | Background: Static lifestyles have an impact on
decreased learning activities, boredom, stress, and
cause musculoskeletal disorder. A static lifestyle
also causes muscle fatigue, pain and discomfort in
certain body parts.
Purpose: to find out the relationship between a
static lifestyle and musculoskeletal disorder in
adolescents during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Methods: The study used a cross-sectional design
and recruited 238 students from the Faculty of
Nursing, University of Jember following a random
sampling technique. The researchers used the
Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire with
findings scored of <36 (not tired) and ≥36 (tired).
The research analysis used the Spearman rank test
with α = 0.05.
Results: most of the respondents experienced a
moderate static lifestyle (50.0%) in most of the
respondents experienced high musculoskeletal
disorder (50.8%). The results of the Spearman test
p-value = 0.017 means that there is a significant
relationship between a static lifestyle and
musculoskeletal disorder. The correlation strength
value is 0.154, which means it is weakly correlated
and the direction of the correlation (+) indicates the
higher the static lifestyle, the higher the
musculoskeletal disorder experienced.
Conclusions: This indicates that the higher the
sedentary lifestyle behavior, the higher the level of
musculoskeletal complaints felt or experienced by
student. So it is necessary to do physical activities
such as exercise, stretching, and rest for a while. | en_US |
