Abstract

Background: Dentists are at greater risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) which can be caused by repetitive movements, improper posture and long working hours. If ergonomic principles are applied in the field of dentistry, they help to prevent occupational ergonomic health hazards and provides more comfort to the dentist and patient.

Objective: To obtain information regarding dental ergonomics practice of dentists in Indonesia and its related factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a purposive sampling method via Google Form to 231 dentists in DKI Jakarta, Indonesia from November to December 2022. The questionnaire consisted of 34 items divided into five sections; socio-demographic, job characteristics, knowledge of dental ergonomics, attitude towards dental ergonomics and the practice of dentists regarding dental ergonomics. Bivariate analysis was conducted using Pearson Chi-square Test.

Result: 76.2% dentists have poor dental ergonomics practice. There is a significant relationship (p-value < 0.05) between the practice of dental ergonomics and age group, years of practical experience and level of knowledge.

Conclusion: Most Indonesian dentists (76.2%) still lack of dental ergonomics practice. Age, duration of work experience and ergonomic dental practice knowledge are significantly correlated.

印度尼西亚牙医中与牙科人体工程学实践相关的因素。

背景：牙医罹患与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSDs）的风险较高，其原因可能是重复性动作、姿势不当和长时间工作。如果在牙科领域应用人体工程学原理，则有助于预防职业人体工程学健康危害，并为牙医和患者提供更多舒适感：获取有关印度尼西亚牙医的牙科人体工程学实践及其相关因素的信息：在 2022 年 11 月至 12 月期间，通过谷歌表格对印度尼西亚雅加达 DKI 的 231 名牙医进行了有目的的抽样调查。问卷由 34 个项目组成，分为五个部分：社会人口学、工作特征、牙科人体工程学知识、对牙科人体工程学的态度以及牙医在牙科人体工程学方面的实践。结果显示：76.2%的牙科医生的牙科工效学实践较差。结果：76.2% 的牙医在牙科工效学方面的实践较差，两者之间存在明显的关系（P 值结论）：大多数印尼牙医（76.2%）仍然缺乏牙科人体工程学实践。年龄、工作经验持续时间和人体工程学牙科实践知识有显著相关性。
