Concerning work conditions, the analysis did
not indicate a significant relationship between illuminations and musculoskeletal pain. However,
cases were reported for those with inappropriate
table height (72.5 %) more than healthy officers
(27.5 %). The finding of a significantly higher
level of workstations compared to elbow height of
officers indicated risk conditions for
musculoskeletal pain in office workers. Regarding
the anthropometriccharacteristics, the hip breadth,
buttock popliteal-length and sitting elbow height
of cases were significantly different from healthy
officers (p< 0.05). Moreover, the result of
inappropriate seat height reported by office
workers identified a significant correlation with
musculoskeletal pain (p= 0.034). Data of the
higher prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in the
group of appropriate seating height than
inappropriate seating height was unclear.
However, this direction might be a warning to
office workers who have supplementary materials
for better seating (44.6 % of officer) without
positive behavior-best practice for musculoskeletal
pain prevention. This explanation might be
supported by the low attitude of preventive
behavior to back pain among university office
workers from previous findings [8].
