Abstract The study aimed to answer the questions: (1) Is there prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in Doña Remedios Trinidad Romualdez Educational Foundation Inc. (DRTREFI) teaching and non-teaching personnel; (2) Is there a significant relationship between WMSDs and (a) demographics, (b) environmental factors, & (c) ergonomic factors. A descriptive observational study with a correlational design was utilized. There were 126 respondents in total, consisting of 52 teaching personnel and 74 non-teaching personnel from DRTREFI. Respondents met the inclusion criteria of having worked at the institution for at least one year and experienced pain or discomfort in any body region in the past two months. The study mainly utilized two questionnaires namely the Prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders for teaching & non-teaching personnel of Dona Remedios Trinidad Romualdez Educational Foundation Inc. Questionnaire (PWMSDTNTP), a researcher-made questionnaire, and the Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorder Form which was based on the Nordic Questionnaire. The lower back has the highest reported incidence of discomfort for the past 12 months (53.96%) and past seven days (24.60%), with the neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, upper back, thighs/hips, knees, and ankles, also having reports of pain and discomfort. There was a relevant correlation between discomfort experienced by the respondents and the demographic, environmental, & ergonomic factors with p values less than 0.05.The study concluded that WMSDs were prevalent in DRTREFI teaching and non-teaching personnel. Additionally, there was a significant relationship between demographic profiles, environmental factors, and ergonomic factors with WMSDs among the respondents.
