GUIDANCE PROGRAM FOR PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF MUSCULOSKELETAL COMPLAINTS FOR TEACHERS AT MADRASAH ALIYAH NEGERI 3 PALEMBANG

Abstract

The most common musculoskeletal complaint experienced by workers is low back pain (LBP) due to prolonged sitting duration and inappropriate work posture. There is a need for educational efforts regarding stretching movements that teachers can do between teaching or before and after work. Knowledge about this has been widely spread on social media, but to be more applicable, it is necessary to have a guide in the form of a checklist that teachers can do independently. The general purpose of this activity is to analyze musculoskeletal complaints that occur in high school teachers and then make preventive efforts such as counseling and assistance in the form of demonstration of stretching movements that can prevent low back pain and movements that can help increase back muscle strength so that back pain can be reduced.
