Abstract

Objectives: This research was conducted to determine low back pain in nurses and their methods of coping with low back pain. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed with 356 nurses in three university hospitals in the province of Istanbul in April–August 2016. Percentage calculations and Chi-square tests were used in statistical analyses. Results: The mean age of the nurses in the study was 28.70±5.92, 25.3% were working in intensive care, 46.6% worked 41–48 h a week, and 55.6% stood for 5–8 h within a 24 h period. Low back pain was moderate in 75.8% of participants, and low back pains sometimes affected work efficiency in 43.3% (n=154). In terms of coping, the great majority of participants did not visit a physician, but used analgesics, avoided wearing high-heeled shoes, and slept in hard beds. Statistical significance (p

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırma, hemşirelerde bel ağrısı ve bel ağrısıyla baş etme yöntemlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı, kesitsel tipte olan çalışma, Nisan–Ağustos 2016 tarihlerinde İstanbul İli’nde yer alan 3 üniversite hastanesinde, 356 hemşireyle gerçekleştirildi. İstatistiksel değerlendirmede yüzdelik hesaplama, ki-kare testleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmada, hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 28.70±5.92 olup, %25,3’ünün yoğun bakımda çalıştığı, %46,6’sının haftada 41- 48 saat arası çalıştığı, %55,6’sının 24 saat içerisinde 5-8 saat arası ayakta kaldığı belirlendi. Katılımcıların %75,8’inde mevcut bel ağrısı şiddetinin orta düzeyde olduğu, %43,3’ünde (n=154) bel ağrılarının çalışma verimini bazen etkilediği görüldü. Baş etme yöntemi olarak, büyük bir çoğunluğun hekime gitmediği, analjezik aldığı, topuklu ayakkabı giymedikleri, sert yatakta yattıkları görüldü. Katılımcıların yaş grupları, çalıştığı birim, görev durumu, ayakta durma süresi, aynı pozisyonda durma süresi ile bel ağrısı arasında istatistiksel anlamlılık (p
