To determine the low back stressor exposures of hospital nursing staff members, the daily activities of 63 staff members were observed and coded. In addition to direct patient contact activities, non-patient contact activities were common. Many patient contact actions were static (isometric), requiring maintenance of an antigravity position which stresses the low back. These findings suggest the need to expand the focus of work practice training, equipment redesign, and future research activities.
为确定医院护理人员的下背部压力源暴露情况，对63名工作人员的日常活动进行了观察和编码。除了直接接触患者的活动外，非患者接触活动也很常见。许多接触患者的动作是静态的（等长的），需要维持反重力姿势，这会给下背部造成压力。这些发现表明有必要扩大工作实践培训、设备重新设计及未来研究活动的重点。
