Abstract

"Objective - This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and impact of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) among Malaysian university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology/Technique - The Health Belief Model (HBM) was used to understand the determinants of CVS-related health behaviors. The study enlisted the participation of 387 students from three Malaysian universities, and most respondents were Malay women under the age of 20. Findings - According to the findings, many students devote more time to digital devices for online classes and assignments, resulting in high CVS symptoms. The most frequently reported symptoms were neck pain, back pain, tired eyes, and headaches. These findings emphasize the critical need for preventative measures to reduce the risk of CVS worsening, especially given the increased use of digital devices in online education. Novelty - This study underscores the pressing need for implementing preventive measures to curtail vamong university students, particularly in the burgeoning use of digital devices in online education. Moreover, the investigation illuminates the salient CVS symptoms frequently reported by university students, thereby providing valuable insights for devising targeted interventions that can effectively alleviate the detrimental impact of CVS on their health. Type of Paper - Empirical"
