Abstract

Background: Madrassa students often engage in prolonged reading with poor posture, which may lead to musculoskeletal issues and visual impairments. The impact of such activities on neck disability and eyesight needs exploration. Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between neck disability and poor eyesight among madrassa students. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 235 madrassa students aged 7 to 15 years in Lahore. A convenience sampling technique was used. The Neck Disability Index (NDI) questionnaire and a self-structured questionnaire assessed neck disability and poor eyesight, respectively. Data were analyzed using SPSS v25, employing descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test to determine associations. Results: Of 235 students, 59 (25.1%) had poor eyesight, and 138 (58.7%) had no neck disability, while 78 (33.2%) had mild, 11 (4.7%) moderate, and 8 (3.4%) severe disability. A significant association was found between poor eyesight and neck disability (p = 0.00). Conclusion: A significant association exists between poor eyesight and neck disability among madrassa students, emphasizing the need for ergonomic interventions and regular health screenings.
