Video Display Terminal (VDT) operators report higher rates of psychosomatic symptoms compared to non-VDT users. This study highlights potential health risks associated with prolonged VDT use.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational health
  • Psychosomatic medicine
  • Human-computer interaction

Context:

  • Growing prevalence of video display terminal (VDT) use in modern workplaces.
  • Potential impact of VDT operation on employee well-being.
  • Need for comparative studies on health outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the incidence of psychosomatic symptoms among VDT operators.
  • To compare these symptoms with a control group of non-VDT users.
  • To identify potential health disparities linked to VDT work.

Summary:

  • Questionnaires were administered to VDT operators and a control group.
  • Data analysis revealed a significantly higher frequency of certain psychosomatic symptoms in the VDT operator group.
