ABSTRACT -- Hand and wrist pain is one of the prevalent health concerns in an occupational setting, especially among office workers. Hand and wrist pain can often be linked to poor ergonomics and to prolonged use of computers in the occupational setting. This study aims to determine the efficacy of using video aids to raise awareness and knowledge regarding hand and wrist pain among young adult office workers in Alabang, Muntinlupa City. A cross-sectional quantitative research approach was used for gathering 33 individuals, whose ages ranged from 18 to 35. Before and after watching an infographic movie, these participants filled out the Google Forms knowledge and awareness assessment. The results show statistically significant improvement in post-test scores (M=0.888, SD=0.089) in comparison to the pretest scores of the participants (M=0.861, SD=0.115), along with a p-value of 0.048, which can indicate the effectiveness of the video aid provided. The study yielded positive outcomes that conclude video aids are a practical and engaging educational tool for promoting health awareness in an occupation setting. These findings can be used as a foundation in integrating visual media as another source of information in disseminating knowledge and improving awareness for health education programs. -- Keywords: Hand and Wrist Pain, Infographic Video, Awareness, Office Workers, Video Aid
