| Abstract: | Back ground: Nurses who work prolonged period in critical care unit most commonly express their discomfort of back pain. The purpose of this study was to assess the occurrence of back pain among the critical care nurses(CCN) and to determine the relationship between the occurrence of back pain and the knowledge-performance of body mechanics. And thereby help the critical care nurses to be aware about the back pain that may occur due to hazardous working posture while performing nursing procedures. Materials and methods: a correlative survey approach was found appropriate with descriptive co- relational research design. The survey was conducted on the all-critical care nurses i.e., 75 numbers for assessing back pain occurrence and among of them 30 samples were selected by using the convenience sampling technique. Data collection was done by using a validated self-administered Demographic proforma on history of back pain, Back pain checklist, Structured observation checklist on bed making and back care procedure to assess the practice of body mechanics and Structured knowledge questionnaires on body mechanics & selected nursing procedures. Results: Among the 75 critical care nurses majority of the subjects 57.3% have history of back pain. The findings of the present study also showed that very high negative correlation existed between back care performance scores 8.15 and back pain scores -0.839 with t (28) = 2.05 P < 0.05 which was indicative of highly significant relationship that means the nurses who have high back pain scores also have low back care performance scores. The maximum percentage i.e., 70% of CCN scored in bed making procedure between 12 – 17 range, whereas maximum possible score was 22. The maximum percentage i.e. 73.3% of CCN scored in back care procedure between 4-7 range whereas maximum possible score was 10. The mean and median of bed making scores were nearly close to each other i.e. 12.7 and 13.2 between the range of 12 – 17 score. The mean and median of back care procedure were also nearly close to each other i.e. 6.6 and 5.9 within the range of 4 – 7. In the knowledge scores only 40% of the nurses scored in the range of 12-17 and in the back pain scores maximum nurses 63.3% scored in the range of 6-11. Whereas maximum possible score was 25. the mean and median of knowledge scores are fallen near the same point that is 15.3 and 15.5, between the range of 12-17 scores. The mean and median of back pain scores are also closed to each other that is 9.5 and 8.97 between the range of 6-11. The results depict that of the study participants might not had good knowledge regarding body mechanics with a mean score of 15.3. It is also possible that the staff nurses were not sufficiently motivated to practice the body mechanics during performing nursing procedures. Conclusions: The study findings were important in the awareness about prevalence of low back pain among the nurses and prevention of occupational low-back pain, among them. |
