Abstract

The most common complaints experienced by nurses in health care are musculoskeletal complaints. This condition is caused by several factors including nurses' work attitude, length of work, work shifts, and type of work. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of giving muscle stretching exercises to reduce musculoskeletal complaints in nurses at Bengkulu City Health Services. Based on the normality, homogeneity, and t-test of the pretest-posttest data, this study was a quasi-experimental with a control group design. The nurses in Bengkulu City's health services were the study's population, and the sampling method was consecutive sampling. A total of 60 respondents were divided into two groups: the intervention group (30 respondents) and the control group (30 respondents). The sampling technique was simply random based on the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using the pair t test with a p value of 0.05. According to the study's findings, the majority of nurses aged 31-40 years old were females with a diploma 3 education. The statistical test results showed that the p value was 0.0005, indicating that there was a significant difference between the control and intervention groups. As a result, the Workplace Stretching Exercises intervention in the treatment group was found to be more effective than the exercise in the control group. When compared to the control group, the group that received muscle stretching exercises had fewer musculoskeletal complaints.
