I. Introduction
 Ateneo De Naga University
Naga City
College of Nursing

As the unprecedented COVID 19 pandemic happened in an age where advancements in

technology have paved the way for boundless communication, several educational institutions
have quickly shifted from the traditional face-to-face classes to online or blended learning. With
this, several students and faculties are pushed to spend more time in front of their computer
monitor or laptops. This poses them into a higher risk of ergonomic injuries. Although the shift
of learning mode was quick, it does not mean that everybody was prepared for this sudden
change, especially the students who are used to having their traditional classes. As they try to
learn throughout this new normal, most of them are probably lacking in knowledge about
ergonomics.
In India, 67% of students have reported to experience back pain, dry eye syndrome, and
insomnia due to incorrect ergonomics (Kanan Shah, 2020). throughout this pandemic, people are
advised to stay at home as they are safer there. However, if people, especially students. continue
to practice incorrect ergonomics at home then they are not safe from physical injuries. The goal
here is to promote holistic health, hence, there is a need to eliminate the risks for health and
prevent diseases brought by our practices during this new normal.
As the bone and joint health awareness month is celebrated this October, this program
specifically aims to educate the students of the Ateneo de Naga University - Senior High School
about proper ergonomics to help prevent hazardous risks that this new normal poses, and
improve their experience and performance in this new set-up.

II. Program Rationale:

Health education is one of the most effective and easiest ways in providing reliable
knowledge to improve the well-being of people. It allows knowledge to be transferred from a
credible source to a variety of audiences, thereby promoting independence. With this foreign
online setup, students are at great risk of developing problems concerning sensory, cognitive, and
musculoskeletal functions of the body. This online arrangement has become one of the primary
reasons of constant head, body, and joint pain to students as they are not aware of the laws of
ergonomics which is basically designed to (1) arrange workplaces in order to create a conducive
 Ateneo De Naga University
Naga City
College of Nursing

environment and (2) adjust the anthropometry in its proper position. This program plan prepared
by the Group 1 of RR32 of College of Nursing will help the senior high school students of
Ateneo de Naga University to become educated about the laws of ergonomics. This will allow
them to understand the most appropriate biomechanics, social and applied psychology, and
environmental physics during an online class to prevent complications. Implementing this
program will help students become more comfortable and ultimately improve their performance
in the online setup

III. Goals and Objectives:

This program is developed to attain the goal of increasing the knowledge of Ateneo de Naga
University SHS students regarding the laws of ergonomics in online learning. At the end of three
hours of online session, participants will be able to:

● Discuss the 3 domains of ergonomics

● Enumerate at least 3 applications of ergonomics knowledge
● Cite at least 3 adjustments essential to maintain ergonomics.
● Identify at least 3 benefits of maintaining ergonomics
● Enumerate at least 3 common mistakes in ergonomics during an online setup.
● Identify at least 3 signs or symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Additionally, at the end of the seminar, the participants will be able to:

● Express desire to start producing a comfortable and conducive working environment

during an online class.
● Understand proper anatomical angles in preventing bone and muscle strain.

VI. Resources Required

● Letter to SHS Department

- This refers to the letter to be sent to the director of Ateneo de Naga University
Senior High School asking permission to conduct this program.

● Infographic and pamphlet

- are the graphical outputs created by the organizers which contain the summarized
information from the health teaching to be sent to the participants for their
consumption.

● PowerPoint Presentation
 Ateneo De Naga University
Naga City
College of Nursing

- includes the information about the laws of ergonomics to be discussed during the
health teaching.

● Computer setup
- the organizer will present an actual computer or laptop setup as proposed in the
discussion for better visualization. This will include the proper distancing of
CPU, keyboard, mouse or laptop, books, water, and other essentials needed
during an online setup.

● Evaluation Tool
- The organizers will send an evaluation form via Google forms to the participants
to determine if the program objectives were met and to evaluate their learnings.

VIII. Anticipated Results

For this program, the organizers expect at least 90% of the participant population to attend
the health teaching. The 5 chosen students during the live open forum portion of the program
will be able to answer the questions provided by the presenter. The organizers expect at least 5
participants to raise questions or provide insights obtained from the program. On the posttest, at
least 80% of the attendees will be able to obtain a 60% mark. At least 90% of the participants
will be able to answer the evaluation tool. After the program, the participants are expected to
apply learnings through the adjustment of their personal computer setup.

IX. Progress Notes

The evaluators will supervise and document the flow of the activity. With the help of the
facilitators and the leader, they will monitor the number of viewers and listeners for the program.
They will also collect and record the questions from the viewers/listeners. The table below will

X. Implementation Plan

Priority Area: Higher risk for ergonomic injuries/Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs)
 Ateneo De Naga University
Naga City
College of Nursing

Goal: The purpose of this evidence-based project was to provide a series of evidence-based
educational sessions on ergonomics to SHS students to enhance the awareness of risk factors of
WMSDs.

Performance Measures: The organizers will send an evaluation form via Google forms to the
participants to determine if the program objectives were met and ergonomic questionnaires to evaluate
their learnings

Objectives: For this program, the organizers expect at least 90% of the participant population to attend
the health teaching. On the posttest, at least 80% of the attendees will be able to obtain a 60% mark. At
least 90% of the participants will be able to answer the evaluation tool. After the program, the
participants are expected to apply learnings through the adjustment of their personal computer setup.

Background: Dissemination of information regarding ergonomics, including relevant comparisons, or

about the rationale for the health intervention and how it works though health education. Work-related
musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) related to computer work have become a serious public health
concern. Researches revealed a positive association between computer use and WMSDs.
