Abstract

PT X is one of the power plants that supplies electricity to the Java and Bali regions. One of the jobs at risk of CVS complaints at PT X is office workers because they have to deal directly with computer screens for a long time. The purpose of this study was to analyze the strength of the correlation between factors associated with CVS. This study is an observational study with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were 57 respondents. The statistical test used was Gamma coefficient test and contingency coefficient test. The results showed that there was a strong correlation between age (r=0.622), work position (r=0.770), and eye distance to the monitor (r=-0.742) with CVS complaints and a very strong correlation between work period (r=-0.840) CVS complaints. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that age, work position, and eye distance to the monitor have a strong correlation with CVS complaints and a very strong correlation between Length of service CVS complaints. It is recommended that companies urge their workers who use computers not to forget to rest their eyes and maintain vitamin A intake, besides that workers also need to rearrange their work stations to avoid bad working positions.
