HUBUNGAN PENCAHAYAAN, SCREEN TIME DAN MASA KERJA DENGAN COMPUTER VISION SYNDROM PADA ADMIN PT X BATAM TAHUN 2026

Abstract

Background: Intensive computer use among administrative workers increases exposure to visual ergonomic factors that may contribute to Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Workplace illumination, duration of computer use, and length of employment are important factors to consider in preventing occupational visual complaints. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between illumination intensity, duration of computer use, length of employment, and CVS complaints among administrative workers at PT. X in Batam City. Methods: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 31 administrative workers. Workplace illumination intensity was measured using a lux meter, while the duration of computer use and length of employment were obtained from respondent data. CVS complaints were assessed using the Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire (CVS-Q). Bivariate associations were analyzed using Fisher's exact test at a significance level of α=0.05. Results: A total of 77.4% of respondents worked under illumination levels below the occupational standard, 38.7% used computers continuously for ≥120 minutes, 61.3% had worked for ≥5 years, and 80.6% experienced CVS. All respondents exposed to illumination below the standard experienced CVS. A statistically significant association was found between workplace illumination and CVS complaints (p<0.001). In contrast, the duration of computer use (p=0.059) and length of employment (p=0.653) were not significantly associated with CVS complaints. Conclusion: Workplace illumination was significantly associated with CVS complaints among administrative workers, whereas the duration of computer use and length of employment showed no statistically significant associations. Improving workplace illumination according to applicable standards and implementing visual ergonomic measures are recommended to prevent CVS among computer-based workers.Keywords: Computer Vision Syndrome; visual ergonomics; illumination; screen time; length of employment
