dc.description.abstract | Background Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is a complex of eye and visual problems that arise while using
a computer or other Video Display Terminal (DVT). With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of these DVTs
has become indispensable in the lives of students and teachers. This study aims to identify the prevalence of CVS
and associated factors in students and teachers at Lúrio University, in Nampula, during the pandemic period.
Methods This is a cross-sectional study, carried out between November 2020 and March 2021. The validated CVS
questionnaire (CVS-Q) and another semi-structured questionnaire on ergonomic risk factors were applied. Odds ratios
(OR) and adjusted odds ratios (aOR) were calculated to measure the association between CVS and computer use
conditions.
Results The prevalence of CVS was 76.6%, and the female gender, age ≤ 20 years, levels I, II, III of course, lack of knowledge
about ergonomics, use the computer to study, use more than 6 hours daily, absence of anti-reflex treatment, use
of other devices and sitting in an inappropriate chair were risk factors for the occurrence of CVS, while being a teacher
was a protective factor.
Conclusion The prevalence of CVS found in this study was high, due to several factors, especially not using ergonomic
principles when using computers and other DVTs. There is a need to adopt intervention strategies focused
on the most vulnerable groups such as women, age group ≤20 years and students, especially at the first year level,
right after entering the University. | es |
