Ergonomics, Awareness, Healthcare Students, Posture, Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders, Therapists

Background Ergonomics is mainly concerned with interactions of the human body with the surrounding elements of professional setup design. Ergonomics is a science-based discipline. It brings together knowledge from Anatomy and Physiology, Psychology, Engineering, Biomechanics and Statistics. It ensures that the designs complement the strengths and abilities of the people who use them. Objectives The aim of the study is to find out the level of awareness and the impact of ergonomics among Healthcare Students and at the same time educating them about the importance of right ergonomics in their academic as well as professional lives. Methods A self made survey was conducted in healthcare students of Uttaranchal College of Biomedical sciences & Hospital. Data was collected through Google forms from different healthcare students.With Microsoft Excel 13, data was analyzed using the proper statistical tests. Result 42% of healthcare students were not aware of ergonomics .54% of students admitted that the pain arising due to bad ergonomics or faulty body posture affects their ADLs, making it a significant response. 44.1% of students showed positive responses on asking about bending or twisting of neck uncomfortably.It was noted that a major percentage, that is, 64.4% of students disagreed on being comfortable while staying in one posture for longer hours. 40.1% of students positively responded on whether they carry, lift, or move heavy objects, while 39.6% of students responded that they sometimes do. Conclusion It was observed that the participating students lacked awareness of ergonomic which lead to absenteeism from classes .Many healthcare students reported that they do experience discomfort or pain, particularly in areas such as the neck, shoulders, and lower back, which we can attribute to poor ergonomic practices. This suggest the need for interventions aimed at educating healthcare students about ergonomics and addressing musculoskeletal discomfort."
