Abstract

Introduction: A heavy workload can have a negative effect on
workers' health, one of which is the appearance of Musculoskeletal
Disorders or complaints of pain, injury, or abnormalities in the
skeletal muscles, which include the nerves, tendons, ligaments,
muscles, and joints; this can have a negative effect on worker quality.
A Nordic Body Map can be used to quantify musculoskeletal
disorders. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the relationship
between workload and Musculoskeletal Disorder complaints among
cleaning staff at Kota Pinang Hospital in Labuhanbatu Selatan
Regency . Method: This type of research employs a quantitative
approach with a cross-sectional design. The research subjects were
53 cleaners at Sibubuan Hospital in Labuhanbatu Selatan Regency
who were recruited using a total sampling technique or by taking a
representative sample of the entire cleaner population at Kota Pinang
Hospital in Labuhanbatu Selatan Regency . The chi square test was
used to process and analyze the data, which was done using the SPSS
version 22 computer program. Result : According to the study's
findings, based on frequency of respondents' workloads at heavy
workloads is 37 (69.8%), light workloads are 16 (30.2%) of the total
sample. Frequency of service period of respondents who worked 1-5
years was 40 (75.5%), respondents who worked 6-10 years were 13
(24.5%) of the total sample. The frequency of high musculoskeletal
disorders is 37 (69.8%), low musculoskeletal disorders are 16
