“…Teoretično znanje ne vpliva na manjšo pojavnost bolečine v križu pri zdravstvenem osebju. Vlogo prostočasne gibalne aktivnosti kot dejavnika preventive pred pojavom bolečine v križu so neposredno proučevale na zdravstvenem osebju tri ali 37,5 % vseh analiziranih raziskav (30,32,34), dve ali 25 % raziskav je proučevalo gibanje na delovnem mestu v povezavi z dvigovanjem bremen (33,37) in tri raziskave ali 37,5 % je proučevalo oba vidika (31,35,36). Opaziti je, da sta bili izmed šestih raziskav, ki so proučevale vidik gibalne aktivnosti s pojavnostjo bolečine v križu pri zdravstvenem osebju, samo dve raziskavi (34,30) izključno posvečeni ugotavljanju vpliva prostočasne gibalne aktivnosti na pojav bolečine v križu pri zdravstvenem osebju, preostale raziskave pa so proučevale vpliv gibalne aktivnosti v povezavi še z drugimi vplivi, npr.…”

“…Med vsemi osmimi analiziranimi raziskavami jih je pet ali 62,5% raziskav nesporno potrdilo pozitiven vpliv gibalne aktivnosti na preventivo pred pojavom bolečine v križu. Med temi raziskavami so bile 3 presečne anketne raziskave (32,33,36) (37) pa je bil namenjen proučevanju gibalne aktivnosti na delovnem mestu, natančneje pravilnemu rokovanju s pacientom pred pojavom bolečine v križu pri zdravstvenem osebju s področja zdravstvene nege. Nameni eksperimentalnega programa so bili: izboljšanje znanja zdravstvenih delavcev o pojavu bolečine v križu na delovnem mestu in njeni preventivi, učenje in izboljšanje tehnik pravilnega rokovanja s pacientom ter zmanjševanje pojavnosti bolečine v križu pri udeležencih programa.…”

“…Dobljene ugotovitve kažejo, da sta pred pojavom bolečine v križu pri zdravstvenem osebju pomembni gibalna aktivnost in tudi gibalna aktivnost na delovnem mestu. Preventivo pred pojavom bolečine v križu predstavlja prostočasna gibalna aktivnosti, ki se izvaja kontinuirano, najmanj 45 minut dvakrat tedensko (31,33), pod strokovnim vodstvom, v organizirani obliki oz. vodeni skupini (31,32) in vključuje aerobne vaje za dvig splošne telesne kondicije in zniževanje telesne maščobe (npr.…”

Tveganja za pojav bolečine v križu zaradi gibalne aktivnosti na delovnem mestu se razlikujejo glede na specialno področje dela.…”

“…Nursing is well established as a high-risk occupation for musculoskeletal disorders and, in particular, low back pain (LBP). [4,5] Prevalence increases and peaks between the ages of 35 and 55. As the world population ages, low back pain will increase substantially due to the deterioration of the intervertebral discs in older people , it is estimated that 3.5% of nurses are leaving the profession due to back pain.…”

Aims and objectives To explore the perspectives of nursing and physiotherapy academics regarding techniques designed to prevent musculoskeletal pain and injury in nurses. Background High rates of musculoskeletal injuries are evident in nurses, yet there is an absence of research identifying effective interventions to address this problem. Exploring the perspectives of individuals with specialist knowledge in the area could help identify barriers to musculoskeletal injury prevention, and innovative strategies to investigate in future studies. Design Cross‐sectional qualitative descriptive study. Methods Between October–December 2017, group and individual face‐to‐face semi‐structured interviews were used to collect data. All interviews were audio‐recorded. A thematic analysis was performed, with two researchers coding audio files using NVivo software. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research Checklist was consulted to ensure complete reporting of all methods and findings. Results Nursing and physiotherapy academics ( N = 10) were aware of a range of techniques to prevent musculoskeletal injuries in nurses, including education, equipment, health and safety policy and multi‐disciplinary collaboration. However, several barriers to using these techniques were identified, including age, knowledge and availability of equipment, personal and contextual factors, staffing and time pressures. Several strategies were recommended for further investigation and implementation in clinical practice, such as the sharing of personal experiences, orthopaedic assessments and changes to workplaces that foster a culture of safety. Conclusions Further research is required to reduce musculoskeletal pain and injury among nurses. This research should account for the barriers to current prevention strategies and consider investigating novel interventions. Relevance to clinical practice These findings highlight strategies for preventing musculoskeletal injuries among nurses that are likely to be most effective in clinical practice.
