As for the negative effects that can be given from WFH, such as the occurrence of Neck Pain. Neck Pain is pain in the cervical spine from the superior line of the first thoracic spinous nuchal process. Reported cases of neck pain in office workers as much as 15% to 34.4%.

In this study, the author uses a qualitative method with a literature review research paradigm. Qualitative research methods are carried out in natural conditions and carried out on direct data sources.
