Summary: Abstract: Background: Neck pain is considered the fourth leading cause of disability and approximately half of the population will experience this at least once in their life, making this a global health issue (Cohen, 2015 & Safiri et al., 2020). Since almost everyone utilizes technological devices such as computers and laptops, due to the transition to working from home (WFH) brought about by COVID-19 quarantine, the majority of people became susceptible to prolonged and pain, ultimately affecting work productivity. Purpose: This study aimed to identify the prevalence of non-specific neck pain among Far Eastern University – Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation faculties in a work from home setting. It also sought to rate the pain intensities experienced by WFH faculties, categorize WFH faculties by severity of disability caused by neck pain, and assess the effects of non-specific neck pain on the faculty’s work performance. Method: This study utilized a quantitative cross-sectional method by simple screening instruments for identifying non-specific neck pain. The study population consisted of undergraduate faculties of FEU-NRMF in a work from home setting during the COVID-19 pandemic, who work 6 or more hours per day, and have been working from home for 6 months and above during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: The results show that half (50%) of the participants present with neck pain during the WFH setting. There was an increase in the prevalence of faculties with neck pain after transitioning to the WFH setting since the faculties of FEU-NRMF underwent a WFH setting during the COVID-19 pandemic, the duration of their computer use and prolonged sitting increased, making them more susceptible to neck pain. The majority of the faculties has moderate pain (mean rank=5.67) & experience mild severity (20.44%), however, it showed that pain intensity has no effect on work performance as supported by the Mann-Whitney U test of 7.000 with a p value of .714. this is due to the limited sample size. Conclusion: Based on the overall data gathered, the researchers cannot fully conclude that neck pain is prevalent among undergraduate faculties in a WFH setting in FEU-NRMF. Although the setting of this showed that some of the respondents acquired neck pain during a WFH setting, the obtained lacks evidence.
