Reducing the total number of work related back injuries among nurses is important, but reducing those injuries that are severe enough to result in lost time and/or disability is critical. Results of this study indicate that female nurses in the early phases of assignment on long term care units are at greatest risk for back injury, but risk factors that relate significantly to the severity of the injury are tour of duty (evening) and weight of the nurse (200 + pounds). Recommendations suggested by this study include: evaluation of lifting techniques and practices; orientation whenever assignments are changed; accurate assessment of nurse, client, and situation; and the regular use of an assessment tool which incorporates all of these factors.
减少护士与工作相关的背部损伤总数固然重要，但减少那些严重到足以导致误工和/或残疾的损伤至关重要。这项研究的结果表明，在长期护理病房刚开始工作的女护士背部受伤风险最大，但与损伤严重程度显著相关的风险因素是值班时间（晚班）和护士体重（200磅及以上）。本研究提出的建议包括：评估搬运技术和操作；每当工作安排改变时进行培训；准确评估护士、患者和具体情况；以及定期使用包含所有这些因素的评估工具。
