EasyChair Preprint 5774

Abstract

Prolonged computer use can put you at risk of eye fatigue or astenopia. The decrease in visual acuity is caused by increased or forced accommodation. The purpose of this study was to determine the benefits of Sansevieria trifasciata (S. trifasciata)  in reducing computer radiation in internet cafe operators. This type of research is a quasi experiment using a pretest-posttest group design. The object of research is computer radiation at internet cafe operators. The research sample consisted of 15 computers in internet cafe operators. This research was conducted from February to April 2019 in Wonosobo, Central Java. The research instruments were radiation detector, stopwatch, S. trifasciata "golden hahnii" and S. trifasciata "lorentii", computer, research form. The difference in percentage reduction in computer radiation between before and after being contacted by S. trifasciata "golden hahnii" was 37.31%. Meanwhile, the difference in the percentage of reduction in computer radiation between before and after being contacted by S. trifasciata "lorentii"  was 53.86%. The results of the study were data normality using Shapiro Wilk, and continued with the Independent T-Test with a significant level α = 0.05. The results showed that there was a significant difference between pre-computer radiation and computer radiation after contact with Sansevieria trifasciata (p = 0.000). There is a significant difference between the effectiveness of Sansevieria trifasciata "golden hahnii" and Sansevieria trifasciata "lorentii" in reducing computer radiation to internet cafe operators.
