Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of structured ergonomics education on musculoskeletal pain, physical activity level, and health related quality of life in university students using a quasi-experimental design. A prospective quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest control groups was conducted with 116 university students (intervention: n=58; control: n=58). The intervention group received a 9-week structured ergonomics training program. The Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorder Questionnaire, Visual Analog Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, and Nottingham Health Profile were used for the assessments. Statistical analyses included within-group and between-group comparisons, with a significance level of p
