Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the “Association of Fitness Wellness and WorkRelated Low Back Pain Among DLSMHSI BSPT Batch 2023 Students S.Y. 2021-2022”. The study utilized a descriptive correlational approach that focuses on quantitative data analysis. A total of 68 responses were gathered using a non-probability sampling approach known as quota sampling, with 23 respondents being eliminated during the pre-screening process, leaving 45 participants in the study. A self-made questionnaire that was transferred to Google forms was used to collect quantitative data from the respondents.

The findings revealed that 12 out of 30 had an interpretation of average fitness wellness level; 5 out of the 30 had a poor fitness wellness level. As other half, there is a total of 15 respondents that perceives with no WRLBP. Out of the 15, 1 response had very good fitness wellness level; 8 out of the 15 had good fitness wellness level; 3 out of the 15 had an average fitness wellness score; Lastly, 4 out of the 15 had a fitness wellness score of poor.

To correlate fitness wellness to work-related low back pain, Chi-square was used to determine the significant association of the two and found that the null hypothesis was not rejected. Therefore, the study showed that there was no significant association among the two. This means that regardless of how good or poor a person's level of fitness wellness is, it has no effect on the participants' chance of developing work-related low back pain.
