:Background and Objectives
Various factors, including a lack of attention to the adaptation of educational spaces, can significantly impact the quality of education. Consequently, this study aims to comprehensively review an
analyze all research conducted on school ergonomics in Iran.
Methods
A bilingual search was conducted in this study utilizing Persian keywords such as "student," "elementary, middle or high school," and "physical, environmental, and general ergonomics," along with their Latin equivalents. This search was performed across databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, covering the period from the inception of research in Iran until the year 1403 in the Persian calendar (2024). Subsequently, articles relevant to the topic were collected and examined according to the established criteria.
Results
Among the identified articles, only 30 were recognized as relevant to the study's objectives, focusing on physical, environmental, and general ergonomics. A comparison of these studies revealed an upward trend in musculoskeletal disorders, with many of these issues linked to ergonomic problems in schools, including the mismatch between students' body dimensions and the desks and chairs used, as well as improper carrying of school bags.
Conclusion
The poor ergonomic condition in Iranian schools, leading to an increase in musculoskeletal disorders among students. It is vital to evaluate these schools based on ergonomic standards and implement necessary enhancements. Furthermore, it is important to raise students' awareness about proper task performance and appropriate backpack usage.
