Summary
Dari data Tabel 1. didapatkan untuk gambaran keluhan nyeri punggung bawah pada karyawan saat ini, terdapat keluhan nyeri punggung bawah yaitu sebanyak 20 karyawan (58,82%) mengalami nyeri punggung bawah, 33 karyawan (97,06%) memiliki IMT tidak normal, 25 karyawan (73,53%) dengan masa kerja tinggi, terdapat 28 (82,35%) meja dan kursi yang tidak ergonomis, 27 karyawan (79,41%) dengan sikap kerja tidak baik. Berikut adalah tabel hasil perhitungan hubungan antara keluhan nyeri punggung bawah dengan faktor yang mempengaruhinya dengan nilai p value 0,05. Dari Tabel 2 dapat terlihat bahwa faktor yang mempengaruhi nyeri punggung bawah pada karyawan adalah faktor umur, masa kerja, ergonomi meja kursi (EMK) dan sikap kerja. Hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Defriyan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara faktor masa kerja dengan keluhan nyeri punggung bawah pada pekerja sulam. Dari hasil pengamatan di rumah sakit hampir seluruh karyawan tidak memperhatikan sikap kerja mereka, dan karyawan bekerja didepan komputer dalam waktu yang cukup lama. Hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan Sakinah (2012), dimana terdapat hubungan antara faktor sikap kerja atau sikap tubuh terhadap nyeri punggung bawah pada pekerja batu bata. Sikap kerja duduk memerlukan tenaga lebih besar mengingat punggung bawah sebagai tumpuan bekerja dengan posisi duduk terus menerus sangat mungkin terjadi penumpukan darah dan berbagai cairan tubuh pada kaki (Sunaryo 2014 dalam Sakinah 2012)
