Questionnaires were sent to qualified nurses (QNs) and nursing aides (NAs) to study the prevalence of low-back pain (LBP) and sciatica in relation to age, work-load, free time activities, menstruation, pregnancies and number of children. LBP and sciatica severe enough to make them unfit for daily tasks were significantly more common in NAs. Back injury and disability pension due to sciatic symptoms were also more common in NAs. Occupationally, NAs had twice the amount of lifting, bending, and rotation, while QNs reported more sitting and standing at work. Under the age of 30, the heaviness of the work was related to LBP in both NAs and QNs. It was concluded that prevention should be directed to improvements in the occupational work load, particularly for younger nurses.
研究人员向合格护士（QN）和护理助理（NA）发放问卷，以研究腰痛（LBP）和坐骨神经痛的患病率与年龄、工作量、业余活动、月经、怀孕次数和子女数量之间的关系。严重到无法胜任日常工作的LBP和坐骨神经痛在NA中更为常见。因坐骨神经症状导致的背部损伤和伤残抚恤金在NA中也更为常见。在职业方面，NA进行搬运、弯腰和旋转的工作量是QN的两倍，而QN报告称工作中坐着和站立的时间更多。30岁以下时，工作强度与NA和QN的LBP均有关联。研究得出结论，预防措施应着眼于改善职业工作量，尤其是对年轻护士而言。
