Analysis of Ergonomic Risk Factors in Book Editing Work at Publishing Company

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common among workers who use computers for extended periods, yet few studies specifically examine ergonomic risks in the book editor profession. Pristianto & Mawarni (2024) reported that 66% of educational staff experienced neck pain due to computer use exceeding four hours per day, while Ferdiantika & Puspitasari (2024) noted that lower back pain was the most frequent complaint (38.7%) among office workers. This study aims to identify factors associated with MSD complaints among book editors at Publisher X in 2025. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 61 randomly selected respondents. Data were collected using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire and the Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) method. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed significant associations between age and shoulder complaints (p = 0.021) and waist complaints (p = 0.031), as well as between work tenure and back pain (p = 0.048). The ROSA assessment indicated that some workers were at high to very high ergonomic risk. Based on these findings, it is recommended to improve working conditions—such as adjusting chair and desk heights—provide ergonomic education, and implement regular stretching programs. Analisis Faktor Risiko Ergonomi pada Pekerjaan Editor Buku di Perusahaan Penerbit Keluhan muskuloskeletal (MSDs) umum terjadi pada pekerja yang menggunakan komputer dalam waktu lama, namun belum banyak penelitian yang secara spesifik membahas risiko ergonomi pada profesi editor buku. Pristianto & Mawarni (2024) melaporkan bahwa 66% staf pendidikan mengalami nyeri leher akibat penggunaan komputer lebih dari 4 jam/hari, sedangkan Ferdiantika & Puspitasari (2024) mencatat nyeri punggung bawah sebagai keluhan tertinggi (38,7%) pada pekerja kantoran. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi faktor yang berhubungan dengan keluhan MSDs pada editor buku di Penerbit X tahun 2025. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional, sebanyak 61 responden dipilih secara acak, serta menggunakan instrumen Nordic Body Map (NBM) dan metode ROSA. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-square (p < 0,05). Hasil menunjukkan hubungan signifikan antara usia dengan keluhan bahu (p = 0,021) dan pinggang (p = 0,031), serta masa kerja dengan nyeri punggung (p = 0,048). Hasil ROSA menunjukkan sebagian pekerja berada pada risiko ergonomi tinggi hingga sangat tinggi. Oleh karena itu, disarankan adanya perbaikan kondisi kerja (penyesuaian kursi dan tinggi meja), memberikan edukasi ergonomi, dan melakukan sosialisasi stretching rutin.
