Abstract
Ieviešot datoru izmantošanu darbā, kā arī pirmos privātos datorus mājās, radās problēmas par to, kā darbs ar datoru ilgtermiņā ietekmēs fizisko veselību un kādas sekas tas radīs. Kopš 1980. gadiem pētnieki arī aplūko šīs problēmas ne tikai vispārējā populācijā, bet arī to, kā ikdienas darbs ar datoru ietekmē studenta fizisko veselību un kā viņu ergonomisko ķermeņa stāju varētu vislabāk atbalstīt datora lietošanas laikā.
Šajā literatūras apskatā tika pārskatīts publikāciju krājums, izmantojot dažādas zinātniskās datubāzes, piemēram, Google Scholar, PubMed un Elsevier.
Pētījumi liecina, ka darbs ar datoriem negatīvi ietekmē studentu fizisko veselību. Interesanti, ka daudzi pētījumi ir paredzēti studentiem kā izlases grupai, jo tie būs nākotnes darba devēji darba vidē. Šie ar datoru saistītie balsta un kustību aparāta traucējumi rada lielas medicīniskās izmaksas gan indivīdam, gan sabiedrībai.
Ar šo literatūras pārskatu bija iespējams apvienot dažādus pētījumus, kas parādīja, kā darbs pie datoriem ietekmē studentus dažādos apstākļos, kāda laika iedarbība un ergonomiska ķermeņa poza spēlē lomu balsta un kustību aparāta simptomu attīstībā. Bet vēl nav jāsniedz ievads studenta ikdienas dzīvē, lai uzlabotu ķermeņa pozas, strādājot pie datoriem.
With the introduction of use of computers at work as well as the first private computers for at home, problems arose about how computer work will impact the physical health in the long term and which consequences that will bring. Since the 1980s researchers are also looking at these problems not only in general population but also how student’s physical health is being affected by daily computer work and how their ergonomic body posture could be best supported during the time of computer use. In the present literature review a collection of publications was being reviewed by using different scientific databases such as Google scholar, PubMed, and Elsevier. Studies show that working on computers has a negative impact on the physical health of students. Interestingly many studies are targeting students as sample group since that will be the future employers in the working environment. These computers related musculoskeletal disorders cause high medical bills for the individual as well as for society. With this literature review it was possible to combine different studies that show how working on computers affect students in different settings, what time exposure and ergonomic body posture play a role in the development of musculoskeletal symptoms. But the introduction into student’s daily life to improve their body postures when working on computers is yet to be achieved.
