dc.description.abstractObjectives: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders of computer users represent a growing problem for the workplace, the health care system, and the society. Office ergonomic educational strategies have been developed and implemented to address this concern. In this study, we aimed to establish and test an e-learning method for office ergonomics training and evaluate immediate and short-term effects of the training. Methods: Web-based ergonomics training was designed and delivered. Assessments included demographic, knowledge, and behavioral aspects. Several online surveys and the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment [RULA] were used as assessment tools. Results: The Knowledge Assessment Score after the training significantly improved from 4.70 to 9.58. Behavioral assessment scores including the RULA and Workplace Interaction Score improved from 5.72 to 5.11 and 6.39 to 7.99, respectively. Conclusion: It was observed that employees had converted the knowledge they gained by training into behavioral change, and they reflected this in their working postures and workplace interaction.
