Work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WMSD) is a Musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) that becomes more severe or lasts for a long time due to work-related activities. This study aims to determine the relationship between the workload of emergency room nurses and the level of complaints in the musculoskeletal system through the Nordic Body Map (NBM) method approach in every regional hospital in Tuban City. This study was carried out using descriptive correlative study method with a cross sectional approach. The number of respondents that participated in this study were 63 E.R. nurses who worked in regional hospitals in Tuban City. Data was collected using a workload questionnaire and the Nordic Body Map (NBM) method to determine the level of complaints of the musculoskeletal system.

Results showed that 54% of the respondents had moderate workload and no emergency nurses at hospitals in Tuban City had light workload. 44.4% of emergency nurses at hospitals in Tuban City had severe musculoskeletal complaints. According to this data, there is a relationship between the workload of emergency room nurses and the level of complaints in the musculoskeletal system (P = 0.028).
