Background: Lower Back Pain (LBP) is a common complaint among nurses in different clinical sittings. There is a large amount of evidence suggesting an association between LBP and various factors. This complaint has serious implications for professional and occupational carriers as well as whole health care systems as nurses form the mainstay of manpower in health care. Methods: this systematic review is based on a comprehensive search conducted in PubMed, CINHAL, PsycINFO. The two reviewers independently accomplished the full text review for the selected literatures. Results: A total of 11 studies were to the standards of the inclusion criteria. Different methods of studies were applied to measure and evaluate lower back pain among nurses and factors associated with lower back pain. Discussion: Initially, all results/studies were analyzed systemically in grids, and then the results of each study were discussed and interpreted according to the variables, method, and study design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
