Analysis of Factors Related to Low Back Pain (LBP) in Company Employees

Abstract

Low Back Pain is a condition that causes acute or chronic pain and discomfort in the lumbosacral area due to inflammation, degeneration, abnormal cell growth, trauma, or body system disorders. This study aims to analyze the relationship between age, work attitude, workload, and years of service with the incidence of LBP in employees at PT. Muria Sumba Manis. The type of research used is a quantitative analytic survey with a cross-sectional study design. The population in this study were all employees who worked in sugarcane planting, with as many as 71 people. The sample amounted to 61 people who were taken using simple random sampling. The results showed that the variables associated with the incidence of LBP were age (p-value = 0.000), work attitude (p-value = 0.021), workload (p-value = 0.000), and years of service (p-value = 0.000). There is a significant relationship between age, work attitude, workload, and years of service with the incidence of LBP among employees at PT. Muria Sumba Manis. It is expected that employees should pay attention to an ergonomic work attitude to minimize the incidence of LBP.
