研究计算机专业人员健康障碍的患病率及其与工作环境条件的关系。横截面。样本规模为 200 名来自德里和 NCR 的计算机专业人员，其中包括软件开发人员、呼叫中心工作人员和数据输入人员。研究组中视力问题的患病率为 76% (152/200)，肌肉骨骼问题的患病率为 76.5% (153/200)。研究发现，随着每天在电脑上工作的时间增加，视觉不适逐渐增加，肌肉骨骼问题也存在同样的关系。使用防眩光屏幕以及房间内光线充足的人的视觉问题较少。研究发现，使用软垫椅子和软键盘的人的肌肉骨骼问题明显较少。相当一部分计算机专业人员被发现存在健康问题，这表明计算机领域从业人员的职业健康需要作为职业健康关注的领域予以重视。
To study the prevalence of health disorders among computer professionals and its association with working environment conditions. Cross sectional. A sample size of 200 computer professionals, from Delhi and NCR which included software developers, call centre workers, and data entry workers. The prevalence of visual problems in the study group was 76% (152/200), and musculoskeletal problems were reported by 76.5% (153/200). It was found that there was a gradual increase in visual complaints as the number of hours spent for working on computers daily increased and the same relation was found to be true for musculoskeletal problems as well. Visual problems were less in persons using antiglare screen, and those with adequate lighting in the room. Musculoskeletal problems were found to be significantly lesser among those using cushioned chairs and soft keypad. A significant proportion of the computer professionals were found to be having health problems and this denotes that the occupational health of the people working in the computer field needs to be emphasized as a field of concern in occupational health.
