VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY TEST OF THE NORDIC MUSCULOSKELETAL QUESTIONNAIRE WITH FORMAL AND INFORMAL SECTOR WORKERS
Background: Musculoskeletal Disorders are one of the most common reasons patients seek
medical care. Musculoskeletal diseases are still the main source of disability and lost working
time. Understanding the reasons, especially work-related reasons, is still the key to primary
prevention. Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) can serve as an inexpensive
instrument for the identification and assessment of musculoskeletal risks in workers. This
study aimed to determine validity and reliability test of the Nordic Musculoskeletal
questionnaire with formal and informal sector workers.
Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study. The subject of 2 groups of workers,
namely formal and informal workers. The data were collected by in-depth interview and
questionnaire. The stages of this study were: (1) the construct validity test was carried out by
comparing the results of filling in the self-administered NMQ with the results of the interviews
(2) the criteria validity test was carried out by comparing the effects of filling out the
questionnaire with a physical examination. (3) The test and retest reliability test was done by
calculating the correlation coefficient between the first and second filling which is seven days
apart.
Results: The results of the construct validity test showed a similarity (100%) between the
self-administered NMQ and the interview results and the specificity value was obtained in the
lower back, neck and shoulder region above (85%) with a specificity value reaching (100%).
Reliability test results obtained Cronbach's Alpha value above (0.945) which means that the
reliability is excellent. The Indonesian version of the NMQ questionnaire was declared valid
and reliable for use on workers in Indonesia.
Conclusion: The instrument that was invented can clarify workers who have real pain in the
lower back, neck and shoulders.

noise induced hearing loss is one of most common hearing deficit which is almost completely
preventable. The hearing loss incurred would depend on the sound qualities, duration of exposure
and individual susceptibility and protection. This study aimed to determine risk factors of noised
induced hearing loss in workers at bevelling unit in industry x, Bekasi, West Java.

simple random sampling. The dependent variable was hearing loss. The independent variables were
factors related to the onset of hearing loss. The data were collected by questionnaire and tuner check.
This data were analysed by chi square.
Results: Noise intensity (OR= 67.50; 95% CI 5.33 to 854.76; p< 0.001), length of service (OR=
12.25; 95% CI 1.79 to 83.95; p= 0.011), and noisy living environment (OR= 5.87; 95% CI 1.09 to
32.00; p= 0.034) has a relationship with hearing loss.
