Abstract

Objective: To analyze the existence of computer-related health problems among white-collar employees; and to suggest a blueprint for prevention.

The chi-square test in SPSS version 22 was used for analyzing the results. Findings: The existence of visual problems in the participant set was 65% (168/259), and musculoskeletal problems were conveyed by 67% (173/259) whilst 32% (84/259) experienced stressful signs. The study established that there was a steady upsurge in visual complaints as the total hours working on computers added day by day. Similar link was discovered for musculoskeletal complications. Improvements/Applications: A lot of research on the topic has been done already. The blueprint that should be communicated to the employees to tackle the computer-related health concerns makes it exclusive.
