Back injury and subsequent back pain are highly prevalent in nursing. This article explores multidimensional factors with respect to working behaviors, physical fitness, and environments that contribute to both acute and cumulative back injuries to nursing staff. Specific interventions to reduce the risk for back injury are examined. The practice of proper posture, body mechanics, and lifting techniques are reviewed. Exercises to increase flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance are encouraged to reduce the gap between job physical demands and human capabilities. Nurses are also encouraged to be knowledgeable about ergonomic principles and to be active in identifying and using these principles. Research needs and approaches to the study of the back injury problem of nurses are also suggested.
背部损伤及随后的背痛在护理工作中极为普遍。本文探讨了与工作行为、身体素质和环境相关的多维度因素，这些因素会导致护理人员发生急性和累积性背部损伤。文中还研究了降低背部损伤风险的具体干预措施。回顾了正确姿势、身体力学和搬运技术的实践方法。鼓励通过锻炼来提高灵活性、肌肉力量和耐力，以缩小工作对身体的需求与人体能力之间的差距。还鼓励护士了解人体工程学原理，并积极识别和运用这些原理。文中还提出了针对护士背部损伤问题的研究需求及研究方法。
