Low Back Pain (LBP) is one of the musculoskeletal problems that may be associated with non-ergonomic working postures. Health center workers may perform their duties in sitting or standing positions for relatively long periods; therefore, adequate understanding of ergonomic practices and LBP prevention is needed. This Community Service (PkM) activity aimed to improve workers’ knowledge and awareness through ergonomic education and health promotion as an effort to prevent LBP at UPT Puskesmas Delitua, Deli Serdang Regency. The activity was conducted through educational sessions, discussions, demonstrations of ergonomic working postures, active breaks, and simple stretching exercises. A total of 65 health workers participated in the activity. Initial identification showed that 35 participants (53.8%) had ergonomic working postures, while 30 participants (46.2%) had non-ergonomic working postures. Based on the initial identification of complaints, 33 participants (50.8%) reported severe LBP symptoms, while 32 participants (49.2%) reported mild symptoms. These initial conditions served as the basis for developing and delivering educational materials covering proper working postures, adjustment of work facilities, implementation of active breaks, and regular stretching exercises. The activity provided participants with an opportunity to understand LBP risk factors and practice the application of more ergonomic working postures in their daily activities. This community service activity is expected to improve workers’ understanding, awareness, and practical skills in applying ergonomic principles as a promotive and preventive effort to reduce the risk of LBP in the workplace.
