“…10 However, other study findings from Egypt, Thailand, India and Turkey show no significant association between LBP and nurses' work experience. [41][42][43][44] In the current study, nurses who manually lifted a weight of greater than 10 kg were more likely to experience LBP as compared to those who did not. This finding is supported by the study from Makah, Saudi Arabia, 18 from Doha, Qatar, 9 and Ankara, Turkey.…”

This study assessed the prevalence of low back pain and factors associated with it among nurses working at public hospitals in eastern Ethiopia. Materials and Methods: Institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February 1 to March 20, 2018 among randomly selected 404 nurses working in public hospitals of Harari region and Dire Dawa city administration. Six trained nurses collected the data through a self-administered data collection technique. All variables that yield p< 0.25 in bivariable logistic regression were subjects for multivariable logistic regression analysis. The direction and strength of statistical association were measured by odds ratio with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Finally, statistical significance was declared at p < 0.05. Results: The 12-month prevalence of low back pain was 38.1% [95% CI: 32.7-42.7%]. It was more prevalent among females (65%). More than 5 years of work experience [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) =3.135; 95% CI (1.292-7.605)], manual lifting of weight >10kg [AOR=5.260; 95% CI (1.869-14.805)] and working in awkward posture [AOR=3.93; 95% CI (1.109-13.924)] were variables significantly associated with low back pain among nurses. Conclusion: About two in five nurses working at public hospitals in Harari region and Dire Dawa city administration were suffering from low back pain. So, tailored intervention is needed to prevent nurses from further injury and retain experienced nurses.

“…Berdasarkan hasil yang tertera pada Tabel 4, diketahui sebanyak 76 (53,9%) responden tidak melakukan upaya menjaga kesehatan tulang, sendi, dan otot selama WFH dengan mengonsumsi vitamin D sehingga diperlukan pemberian edukasi terkait pentingnya mengonsumsi Vitamin D. Salah satu faktor penyebab LBP adalah hipovitaminosis vitamin D sehingga pemenuhan kebutuhan vitamin D bisa mencegah LBP (Madani, Masoudi Alavi and Taghizadeh, 2014). Vitamin D dapat meningkatkan absorbsi kalsium dalam tubuh sehingga dapat meningkatkan kesehatan tulang (Hegazy et al, 2015). Dosis konsumsi vitamin D yang dianjurkan untuk menjaga kesehatan sistem muskuloskeletal adalah 800 IU/hari (Pludowski et al, 2022).…”

Penetapan kebijakan Work From Home yang diberlakukan bagi pekerja di Surabaya selama pandemi COVID-19 berpotensi meningkatkan permasalahan terkait Low Back Pain. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat pengetahuan serta upaya pencegahan dan penanganan Low Back Pain (LBP) akibat Work From Home (WFH) pada pekerja di Surabaya. Desain penelitian berupa observasional deskriptif dengan metode survei secara online. Teknik pengambilan sampel dengan convenience sampling dan instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner. Uji validitas instrumen yang dilakukan adalah uji validitas rupa. Kriteria inklusi penelitian adalah pekerja berusia 20-44 tahun, pernah atau sedang WFH di Surabaya, pernah atau sedang mengalami LBP akibat WFH. Sampel penelitian sebesar 141 responden. Variabel yang diteliti adalah pengetahuan dan pengalaman LBP, upaya pencegahan LBP, serta upaya penanganan LBP. Hasil penelitian didapatkan sebesar 73 (51,8%) responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan LBP tinggi. Sebesar 108 (76,6%) responden pernah mengalami nyeri pada bahu atau leher selama beberapa hari dan/atau kurang dari 4 minggu. Didapatkan lebih dari 70 (50,0%) responden tidak melakukan upaya pencegahan LBP, baik farmakologis maupun non farmakologis. Responden telah melakukan beberapa upaya penanganan LBP baik farmakologis maupun non farmakologis, namun 112 (79,4%) responden tidak menggunakan kursi kantor dalam upaya penanganan non farmakologis LBP. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, didapatkan masih rendahnya upaya pencegahan dan penanganan LBP pada pekerja di Surabaya sehingga perlu adanya edukasi mengenai upaya pencegahan dan penanganan LBP.

Back ground: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common work-related health problems among hospital workers. Work-related activities such as twisting, bending, sustained posture, repeated movements are regarded as associated risk factors for low back pain. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and associated risk factors of Low Back Pain among hospital workers. Methodology: An institution based cross sectional survey design was conducted among employees in Adama Hospital Medical College (AHMC), Adama Ethiopia. Descriptive statistics, bivariate, and multiple regression analyses were performed. p<0.1 in univariate is considered for multivariate analysis and p<0.05 was used to define statistical significance. Result: Of 263, 137(52.1%) were males and 126(47.9%) were females. The result indicated that the mean and median age of the respondents were 33.5 and 33 years respectively. The life time prevalence of LBP was found to be 50.6% and the 12 month LBP prevalence was 41.4%. Staff not participating in any physical activity (exercise) were more likely to report presence of low back pain (AOR (Adjusted Odd Ratio)=1.75, CI, 1.02-3.02). On the other hand, staff who worked sitting more than 6 hours were associated with increased risk of low back pain(AOR=2.78, CI, 1.09-7.07). Perceived stress often increased risk of low back pain (AOR=2.60, CI, 1.06-6.36). Conclusion: LBP was significantly associated with the obesity, stressed often, those worked in seated position more than six hours and those with long year experience; but doing physical exercise has rather a preventive effect. The findings of this study suggest that primary prevention of LBP should be considered.
