%X Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a disorder caused of medianus nerve entrapment in carpal tunnel in the wrist and give many symptoms as pain, numbness, and hyperesthesia at nerve medianus area. CTS is related to repetitive biomechanical movement in hand at work. The scope of this study was development of an educational model to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome among workers at several garment factories in Jakarta. The objectives were to identify effects and the best model of 4 intervention models to increase knowlwdge, attitude and practice (KAP) on CTS and repetitive biomechanical movement in hand and wrist. The study was a quasi-experimental study, conducted at 4 garment factories in Jakarta 2004. The eduction models were direct education with educational book model, direct education  without book model, educational book only model, and cotrol model. Result  of the study toward 498 workers who met inclusion and exclusion criteria showed that KAP of intervention groups increased significantly after intervantion (p=0.0001), but in cotrol group ony knowledge increase significantly. (p=0.04).  The direct education without book model was the best model for increasing the knowledge and practice on repetitive biomechanical movement in hand and wrist, (p=0,0001). The direct education models with and without book were better for increasing the attitude on repetitive biomechanical movement in hand and wrist. (p=0,0001)
