- Abstract
Computers have become an essential part of our work nowadays. Since the government implemented the Work from Home (WFH) policy, the use of computers has significantly increased, leading to computer-related health problems. Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a group of eye and vision-related problems caused by prolonged use of computers or other display devices. Not only does computer overuse have an impact on eye health, but it also has an impact on the musculoskeletal system, mental health, and work productivity. The 20–20-20 rule (taking a 20-s break to look at something 20 feet away every 20 min) can be used to prevent CVS. This study aims to examine the effect of a 20–20-20 rule educational intervention using leaflets on the Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) of employees at the PT PLN UPT Malang office. This research is an experimental study that employs a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The samples were 25 employees who were taken using a purposive sampling technique. The data were collected through observation, interviews, and the CVS-Q questionnaire. The data were then analyzed using SPSS 26 for Windows. Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that a 20–20-20 rule educational intervention using leaflets has an effect on the Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) of the employees at PT PLN UPT Malang office (p = 0.000).
