To determine the prevalence of LBP and the associated risk factors among nurses at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH).
A cross-sectional study design was adopted with a convenience sample of 234 nurses recruited from nine different departments at KAUH in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Participants completed the questionnaire, which had two parts: Part I: Socio-demographic data, medical factors, and work-related factors; and Part II: Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used to obtain data. Data collection was carried out from March to April 2020. Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 22.
Cumulative prevalence of LBP was 82.9%, annual prevalence was 85.5%, while one-week prevalence of LBP was 53.6%. The factor significantly associated with LBP over the past 12 months was manual lifting of patients ( = 0.030). Nurses working in surgical wards had higher prevalence of LBP. About 24.7% of them changed their working unit, hospitalization was necessary for 11.9%, and 39.8% sought medical care.
The findings from this study may better enable policymakers to adopt certain strategies toward reducing the burdens and challenges of LBP among nurses.
确定沙特阿拉伯吉达阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院（KAUH）护士的腰痛患病率及相关危险因素。
本研究采用横断面研究设计，方便选取沙特阿拉伯吉达 KAUH 的 9 个不同科室的 234 名护士作为研究对象。参与者完成了问卷，问卷分为两部分：第一部分：社会人口统计学数据、医疗因素和与工作相关的因素；第二部分：使用标准化北欧肌肉骨骼问卷获取数据。数据收集于 2020 年 3 月至 4 月进行。使用 SPSS 版本 22 对数据进行分析。
腰痛的累积患病率为 82.9%，年患病率为 85.5%，而腰痛的一周患病率为 53.6%。过去 12 个月与腰痛显著相关的因素是为患者手动抬举（ = 0.030）。在外科病房工作的护士腰痛患病率更高。其中约 24.7%的人更换了工作单位，11.9%的人需要住院治疗，39.8%的人寻求医疗护理。
本研究的结果可以使决策者更好地采取某些策略，以减轻护士腰痛的负担和挑战。
