A Perspective of Yoga on Occupational Stress, Musculoskeletal Disorder and Digital Eye Strain of Banking Sector Employees: A Review Study

सार

Banking sector employees are at a high risk of occupational stress, musculoskeletal disorders, and digital eye strain. This is because of long periods of sitting, longer computer screen exposure, and high-pressure work environments. Often, these employees work more than 6 hours a day on computers. They regularly maintain static postures and perform repetitive movements for too long, with poor task management and working style, which increases their stress due to their occupation. This raises the probability of musculoskeletal disorders, mainly lower back pain and neck pain. Digital eye strain is the principal driver of symptoms like eye discomfort, dryness, and blurred vision. In the banking field, these problems are common due to constant computer use, deadlines, and an intensive type of occupational task. This study aims to review the prevalence of these issues and examine how Yoga can serve as a tool to resolve them. This study uses an analytical and descriptive review of the literature from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Sage journals. Research shows that Yoga can help reduce psychological stress, improve posture, enhance spinal mobility, and relax eye and neck muscles. It also helps calm the nervous system. Thus, Yoga can be a groundbreaking tool to enhance and regulate these conditions by bringing harmony within oneself and their work culture.
