HUBUNGAN DURASI DAN JARAK PENGGUNAAN VISUAL DISPLAY TERMINAL DENGAN KEJADIAN COMPUTER VISION SYNDROME (CVS) PADA MAHASISWA FAKULTAS KEDOKTERAN

Abstract

Computer Vision Syndrome caused by using a monitor screen or VDT with a long duration and a short distance. The symptoms of CVS vary from symptoms of asthenopia, symptoms related to the ocular surface, visual symptoms as well as extraocular symptoms. This study aims to determine the relationship between the duration and distance of using Visual Display Terminal with the incidence of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) in medical students. This type of research is a quantitative research with a cross sectional approach. The population of this study was students of the Faculty of Medicine, Abulyatama University from the 2018- 2020 class. Samples were taken from a population that had met the inclusion criteria as many as 167 people. Sampling using a total sample technique. The data collection tool used is a questionnaire. The results obtained with the Chi-square test there is no relationship between the duration of using the monitor screen with computer vision syndrome because the p-value is 0.349, while between the distance between the use of the monitor screen and computer vision syndrome, the p-value <0.005 is 0.002. This study concludes that there is no relationship between the duration of using the monitor screen with the incidence of computer vision syndrome and there is a relationship between the distance between the monitor and the incidence of computer vision syndrome.
