Abstract

Background

Low back pain is a prevalent issue worldwide, impacting all healthcare professionals, in particular nurses, and leading to disability.

Objective

This study aimed to explore the predictive contribution of demographic factors, the presence of LBP, and knowledge about LBP in forecasting the level of disability among nurses in Oman.

Method

A cross-sectional study was conducted using a paper-based questionnaire comprising two valid tools: the Low Back Pain Knowledge Questionnaire and the Oswestry Low Back Disability Questionnaire. A total of 236 nurses working in two tertiary hospitals in Oman participated in the study.

Result

The findings indicate that 66.8% of nurses had low back pain. The low back pain knowledge score was 13.81(SD 4.42). The mean disability score was 9.13 (SD 8.56), indicating mild disability. There is a negative significant association between low back pain knowledge (r = -0.24, p < .004) and disability level. The low back pain presence was also significantly associated with disability level (t (233) = 4.606, p < .001). The results of the regression indicated the two predictors (i.e., knowledge level and low back pain) explained 13 % of the variation in nurses’ disability level [F (3,230) = 11.447, p = .01].

Conclusion

Low back pain is prevalent among nurses in Oman, and it is associated with disability. Preventive strategies need to be implemented.

阿曼护理人员的腰背痛知识及相关残疾情况
背景腰背痛是世界范围内普遍存在的问题,影响着所有医护人员,尤其是护士,并导致其残疾。共有 236 名在阿曼两家三级医院工作的护士参与了这项研究。腰背痛知识得分为 13.81(标准差为 4.42)。平均残疾评分为 9.13(标准差为 8.56),表明残疾程度较轻。腰背痛知识(r = -0.24,p <.004)与残疾程度呈负相关。腰背痛的存在与残疾程度也有显著相关性(t (233) = 4.606,p < .001)。回归结果表明,两个预测因素(即知识水平和腰背痛)解释了护士残疾程度变化的 13% [F (3,230) = 11.447, p = .01]。需要实施预防策略。
