Abstract

Introduction: Neck pain or cervical pain is a common complaint. At least two-thirds of the population have experienced neck pain. It can cause disturbances in daily activities. In young adults, neck pain can lead to a decline in quality of life and productivity. There have been studies on factors that increase the risk of neck pain, including sleep quality, duration of gadget use, and physical activity levels. However, research on this subject among medical students is still lacking. This study aims to determine the effect of sleep quality, duration of gadget use, and physical activity on the incidence of neck pain in Faculty of Medicine students.


Methods: This study uses an unpaired categorical comparative analytic design with a cross-sectional method. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire assesses neck pain, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index assesses sleep quality, the Screen Time Questionnaire assesses gadget use duration, and the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire assesses physical activity levels. Data will be analyzed using the Statistical Program for Social Science (SPSS) and statistically tested using Chi-Square.


Result: The analysis revealed a significant relationship between sleep latency and neck pain (OR = 3.210), between sleep disturbance and neck pain (OR = 3.106), and between the duration of PC/laptop use on weekdays (OR = 1.781). There is no significant relationship between physical activity and neck pain (OR = 1.182).


Conclusion: Sleep latency, sleep disturbance, and duration of PC/laptop use on weekdays affect neck pain. Physical activity has no effect on neck pain.
