“…After an implementation period of 6 months, it was able to contribute to a reduction in negative postures during work, and thus, to an improvement of the subjectively perceived state of health [ 92 ]. The effectiveness of back training was also shown in large evaluation studies among nursing staff [ 93 , 94 ]. Kusma, Pietsch, Riepenhof, Haß, Kuhn, Fischer and Nienhaus [ 93 ] recently examined the effectiveness of back training among N = 570 nurses (47.5% trained nurses, 17.7% geriatric nurses, and 11% nursing assistants) from Germany.…”

After 6 months, participants reported fewer musculoskeletal complaints due to the regular implementation of back-friendly work practices from back training in their working and everyday lives.…”

“…Im Zusammenhang mit mechanischen Überbeanspruchungen gelten wirbelsäulenstrapazierende Berufe aus dem Gesundheitswesen als besonders prädisponiert. Mobilisation, Transfer und Unterstützung von Patienten verursachen bei Pflegepersonal in Krankenhäusern und Altenheimen sowie in der ambulanten Pflege hohe körperliche Belastungen, die mit einem erhöhten Risiko an bandscheibenbedingten Erkrankungen der Lendenwirbelsäule einhergehen [12,15,16].…”

“…Als dementsprechend geeignete Mittel werden in erster Linie Präventionsmaßnahmen angesehen, die nicht nur verhindern sollen, dass bandscheibenbedingte Erkrankungen der Lendenwirbelsäule entstehen, wiederaufleben oder sich verschlimmern, sondern den Patienten gleichzeitig nachhaltige präventive Handlungsmöglichkeiten vermitteln, um diese zukünftig eigenverantwortlich fortzuführen. Die Erfolge solcher Maßnahmen konnten durch eine Vielzahl von interventionellen Studien und längsschnittlichen Untersuchungen bereits belegt werden [12,15,16,21,24,27], es gibt aber nur sehr wenige Arbeiten, die jene Kriterien beschreiben, die Patienten Präventionsmaßnahmen annehmen oder ablehnen lassen [8,29]. In dieser Längsschnittuntersuchung über 8 Jahre sollte an einer großen Versorgungsstichprobe statistisch untersucht werden, welchen Einfluss Schmerzdauer und -intensität auf die Teilnahme an der Präventionsmaßnahme Rückenkolleg haben.…”
