Abstract: (433 Views)
Introduction: The use of computers as the most prevalent administrative tool is rapidly increasing and the mismatch between the computer and its user can lead to physical problems such as visual fatigue. Therefore, the present study was designed and conducted to investigate the relationship between visual fatigue and its related factors among computer users in one of the major ports in southern Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 405 administrative staff members who used computers for at least 4 hours per day. Simple random sampling was employed. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Visual Fatigue Questionnaire (VFQ). The intensity of localized lighting at the workstation was measured using a lux meter. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS-25 software.
Results: The results indicated that over 80% of participants experienced varying degrees of visual fatigue. Factors influencing this disorder included age, work experience, daily working hours, and light intensity, while body mass index and gender did not show a significant correlation with the occurrence of these disorders.
Conclusion: Given the high prevalence of visual fatigue among computer users, attention to environmental and occupational conditions, such as improving lighting and adjusting workstations, can help to reduce this disorder and enhance employee productivity.
