The aim of the study is to determine the factors affecting postural awareness in academics.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to determine the factors affecting postural awareness in academics. Data on age, height, weight, body mass index, gender, duration of academic work, daily working time, and distance from the eye to the screen were collected. Postural awareness, mindfulness, fatigue, and posture measures are described below. Postural Awareness Scale, Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale, Chalder Fatigue Scale and New York Posture Rating scale were used in study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postural Awareness Scale

    The Postural Awareness Scale (PAS) was designed by Cramer et al. 1 to measure self-reported awareness of body posture, and translated to Turkish version by Dursun et al.. The PAS consist of 12 items in original form but 12th item was removed from the Turkish version due to factor load was low. The PAS consist of two factor structures, ease/familiarity with postural awareness (items 6-11) and need for attention regulation with postural awareness (items 1-5). The Turkish version of PAS scores range from 11 to 77, higher scores indicate high greater postural awareness. The total score was calculated after reversing the values of items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and adding other items.

    Measured: At the beginning of the study

Secondary outcomes (3)

  1. Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale

    The Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) was developed by Brown and Ryan 3 and translated to Turkish version by Özyeşil et al. The MAAS contains 15 items to measure individual differences in the tendency to be mindful. All the items are scored range from 1 (almost never) to 6 (almost always) points. The MAAS total scores can range from 1 to 6 points due to based on a mean (average) of the 15 items. Higher scores indicate a higher level of mindfulness.

    Measured: At the beginning of the study

  2. Chalder Fatigue Scale

    The Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFS) was developed by Chalder et al. 5 and translated to Turkish version by Adın et al. The CFS measures the severity of perceived fatigue and chronicity of fatigue. The CFS consist of 11 items, and which consist of two dimensions, including physical (CFS-PF) and mental fatigue (CFS-MF). The total score ranges from 0 to 33 points. Higher scores indicates a high level of fatigue.

    Measured: At the beginning of the study

  3. New York Posture Rating Scale

    The New York Posture Rating (NYPR) Scale was used to assess postural alignment changes for clinical postural evaluation in 13 body aligment segment. Lateral and posterior posture analysis is performed in 13 regions (head, neck, shoulder, scapula, upper thoracic, waist, rips, abdomen, hips, knees, legs, feet and toes). Every region was scored 1 (pronounced deviation), 3 (slight deviation) or 5 (correct posture) points. Total score is between 13-65 points. Higher scores indicates better the postural alignment.

    Measured: At the beginning of the study
