This thesis discusses the case of Low Back Pain (LBP) among workers in the oil company PT. XYZ in Sumatra. Data of workers diagnosed by LBP by a company doctor is obtained by searching manually, either from a colleague or from other information. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with respondents. The interview was conducted by telephone due to social restrictions in the work area of ​​the respondents and researchers. The results showed there were differences that were suspected to be the cause of LBP cases in each respondent. Some respondents have risk factors that are thought to be related to their daily work activities in the office while other respondents have risk factors that are thought to be unrelated to their daily work activities in the office. It can be concluded that the work equipment of the respondents in the office is good and is in accordance with the needs of the respondents, where the positive side of the respondents feel safe to work. However, on the other hand requires improvements in the management of working hours and other habits outside the working hours of the respondents.

Low Back Pain merupakan keluhan muskuloskeletal yang sering dialami perawat akibat paparan risiko ergonomi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis gambaran keluhan LBP serta hubungan faktor risiko fisik, psikososial, dan individu terhadap LBP pada perawat di Rumah Sakit X. Penelitian menggunakan desain cross-sectional dan teknik purposive sampling dengan jumlah sampel 72 perawat. Keluhan LBP diukur menggunakan Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), faktor fisik dengan QEC (postur tidak netral, manual handling, beban kerja, durasi aktivitas kerja), dan faktor psikososial dengan ENSS (Stres kerja dan kurangnya dukungan sosial), faktor individu dengan kuesioner karakteristik individu (usia, jenis kelamin, aktivitas fisik, dan BMI). Analisis dilakukan menggunakan uji Chi-square dan perhitungan Odds Ratio (OR). Hasil menunjukkan prevalensi LBP dalam 7 hari terakhir sebesar 38,9%. Sebagian besar variabel tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan LBP. Namun, beban kerja berhubungan signifikan dengan LBP (p=0,034), dengan risiko meningkat pada beban kerja sedang (OR=2,29), tinggi (OR=5,2), dan sangat tinggi (OR=18). Dengan demikian, rumah sakit perlu mengembangkan program pencegahan LBP yang berfokus pada pengendalian beban kerja serta disesuaikan dengan kondisi kerja dan karakteristik individu perawat.

Low back pain is a musculoskeletal complaint frequently experienced by nurses due to exposure to ergonomic risks. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of low back pain complaints and the relationship between physical, psychosocial, and individual risk factors and low back pain among nurses at Hospital X. The study used a cross-sectional design and purposive sampling technique, with a sample size of 72 nurses. LBP complaints were measured using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), physical factors using the QEC (non-neutral posture, manual handling, workload, duration of work activity), psychosocial factors using the ENSS (work stress and lack of social support), and individual factors using the individual characteristics questionnaire (age, gender, physical activity, and BMI). Analysis was performed using the Chi-square test and Odds Ratio (OR) calculation. The results showed a prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in the past 7 days of 38.9%. Most variables were not significantly associated with LBP. However, workload was significantly associated with LBP (p=0.034), with the risk increasing with moderate (OR=2.29), high (OR=5.2), and very high (OR=18) workloads. Therefore, hospitals need to develop LBP prevention programs that focus on workload management and are tailored to the working conditions and individual characteristics of nurses.
