This article reports on an assessment of back pain and associated factors undertaken with nursing staff on nine NHS hospital wards and two private wards. One hundred and sixty eight nurses completed a confidential, retrospective questionnaire. The results suggest that despite the implementation of the 1992 EC manual handling operations regulations, back pain among nurses still remains a problem and is often due to the cumulative effects of work pressures. There is little evidence that training in manual handling reduces the prevalence of back pain directly, since the factors influencing the occurrence of back pain are complex.
本文报道了一项针对九家国民保健服务（NHS）医院病房和两家私立病房的护理人员进行的背痛及相关因素评估。168名护士填写了一份保密的回顾性问卷。结果表明，尽管实施了1992年的欧盟手动操作条例，但护士的背痛问题仍然存在，且往往是工作压力累积所致。几乎没有证据表明手动操作培训能直接降低背痛的发生率，因为影响背痛发生的因素很复杂。
