Increase in childbirth assistance by health workers in Indonesia from 95.16% to 95.79%, in West Java from 93% to 93.42% in 2020 to 2022. [1] Childbirth assistance by West Bandung Regency health workers in 2021 was as much as 64.537 %.[2] It is estimated that more and more births will be carried out by health workers. This increasing workload will of course increase the risks of the job, such as physical complaints and fatigue due to increased work demands. [3] The birthing process in Indonesia is generally carried out by midwives.
Method: This type of research uses quantitative research methods with an observational design using a cross sectional approach. The aim of this research design was to determine the relationship between the position of birth attendants and arm pain at the Batujajar District Health Center. West Bandung. This research will be carried out at the Batujajar Community Health Center.
Result: The results showed that more than half of the respondents experienced complaints of arm pain. Many things affect the arm including the duration of work, especially static and revetitive, and working posture. The body can only tolerate staying standing in one position for only 20 minutes. If it is more than this limit, slowly the elasticity of the tissue will decrease and eventually muscle pressure increases and arm pain arises. Therefore, the control is to make a change of position in a certain duration or by sitting while performing labor actions.
There is a relationship between the position of labor assistance and arm pain. To prevent complaints of arm pain, midwives should be able to regulate the duration of work and still maintain good posture and reduce static with relaxation.
For future researchers, further research needs to be done on other factors that cancause arm pain in midwives using other tests and methods and it is necessary to conduct research on arm pain in midwives appropriately so that the result are more accurate and better. Futher research is neededto determine the factors that most influence arm pain in midwives.
