Neck Pain Survey of University of Jordan Students with Risk Factor Analysis

A 2026 cross-sectional survey of 507 students at the University of Jordan, conducted by Mohammad Ahmad Al-Shalalfeh. The data investigates the prevalence of neck pain and its association with study behaviors, posture, and device use. Analysis includes univariate and multivariate logistic regression performed using JASP.

Use Cases

• Identify risk factors for neck pain based on reported posture and study device usage.
• Model the association between slouched sitting and neck pain odds using logistic regression.
• Compare the impact of laptops, tablets, and phones on reported pain intensity.
• Analyze demographic and behavioral patterns linked to musculoskeletal discomfort in a student cohort.

Strengths

• Includes data from 507 students, with 52.4% reporting neck pain in the last week.
• Structured, face-to-face interviews were used for data collection across 20 faculties.
• Pain intensity was measured using the NRS-11 scoring system.
• Analysis includes specific odds ratios, such as OR=2.18 for slouched sitting.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data reflects a specific geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single university survey.
