Abstract

One impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education is the mandated learning from home or distance learning (DL) in both state and private education institutions to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. DL may require long periods of time in front of a computer screen, which can create ergonomic issues such as eye, shoulder or neck problems, low back pain, and fatigue or stress. This study was structured to look at the ergonomic behavior of students in the statistics department at Padjadjaran University. The data were gathered using questionnaire, and there were 146 respondents who were willing to answer and send back the questionnaire. The results of the analysis show that the majority of students do not have knowledge about ergonomics when using computers. However, students agree that wrong posture can affect health conditions, especially those related to musculoskeletal disorders. The real impact felt by students is the health condition around their neck, shoulders, waist, bottoms, and wrists.

Abstract

The utilization of technology among children has significantly increased since the outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic. Therefore, the use of gadgets among children requires special attention from parents, since under incorrect ergonomic circumstances, it could endanger the health of children. This webinar was designed with parents in mind, giving them valuable information on how to use kid-friendly technology. Additionally, a pre- and post-test was assigned to evaluate parents’ knowledge about ergonomic conditions (safety and comfort) when using gadgets, both before and after the webinar. The results indicated a substantial increasement in parental knowledge among the webinar participants as well as the heightened desire and willingness to apply the right ergonomic conditions for their children’s gadget use at home.
