Work and personal factors associated with occupational back pain were investigated based upon responses to questionnaires administered to hospital nurses. Factor analysis of outcome measures developed two indices of occupational back pain: "pain factor" and "impact factor." Factor analysis also separated reported work activities into five groups. By logistic regression, frequency of "carrying and pushing" and "patient care activity" were associated with occupational back pain. These findings suggest that research and training should not focus on patient transfers only, but must emphasize nonpatient contact activities performed by nurses.
基于对医院护士进行问卷调查的回复，对与职业性背痛相关的工作和个人因素进行了调查。对结果指标的因子分析得出了两个职业性背痛指数：“疼痛因子”和“影响因子”。因子分析还将报告的工作活动分为五组。通过逻辑回归分析，“搬运和推搡”以及“患者护理活动”的频率与职业性背痛有关。这些发现表明，研究和培训不应仅关注患者转运，还必须强调护士进行的非患者接触活动。
