The incidence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in the healthcare professional population is concerning. In particular, the high incidence of back injuries is an issue for nurses. Although many MSD prevention initiatives are being implemented, these practices are not succeeding in reducing MSDs. Why are these efforts struggling to close the gap between knowledge and practice? This article aims to report on individual and organizational factors that may influence nurses' implementation of MSD prevention practices. A survey was sent to nurses in the Quebec health and social services network. A total of 399 questionnaires were completed and analyzed. The results revealed that nurses have the required knowledge on MSD prevention practices, but have difficulty applying them in their professional context. It would appear that successful implementation of MSD prevention practices relies mainly on organizational factors, including management support, organizational culture, feedback mechanisms, and training that is adapted to the work environment.
医疗保健专业人员中肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）的发病率令人担忧。特别是背部受伤的高发病率是护士面临的一个问题。尽管许多 MSD 预防措施正在实施，但这些做法并没有成功地减少 MSD。为什么这些努力难以缩小知识和实践之间的差距？本文旨在报告可能影响护士实施 MSD 预防措施的个人和组织因素。一项调查已发送给魁北克省卫生和社会服务网络的护士。共完成并分析了 399 份问卷。结果表明，护士对 MSD 预防措施有必要的知识，但在专业环境中难以应用。成功实施 MSD 预防措施似乎主要依赖于组织因素，包括管理支持、组织文化、反馈机制以及适应工作环境的培训。
