UNLABELLED
While back pain is common among health care workers in the United States, the epidemiology of back pain is unclear.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to estimate the incidence and trend of back pain from work-related injuries among health care workers.
METHODS
Data from the Pennsylvania Work Injuries and Illnesses Reports from 2002 to 2006 were analyzed.
RESULTS
Estimated back injuries account for 24.6% of all reported injuries in healthcare workers in Pennsylvania. From 2002 to 2006, there was a 22.5% increase in the incidence of reported back pain in this population.
CONCLUSIONS
Due to a lack of detailed reports regarding the incidence of back pain among Pennsylvania healthcare workers, it is recommended that a survey of healthcare workers who perform patient handling be completed.
