目的评估旨在减轻护理人员背痛的计划的有效性。方法本研究纳入来自某大学医院、患有背痛至少六个月的女性护理人员。参与者被随机分为对照组和所有干预组，干预计划涉及一系列强调人体工程学方面的练习和所有教育内容，在工作时间内每周进行两次，持续四个月。所有受试者都回答了结构化问卷，并使用视觉模拟量表（VAS）在计划之前和之后评估疼痛强度。使用学生 t 检验或 Wilcoxon Rank Stun 检验进行独立样本，使用卡方检验或 Exact Fisher 检验进行分类分析。采用McNemar检验和Wilcoxon配对检验来比较项目前后的时间。结果干预组近两个月和近7天内颈椎疼痛频率有统计学意义的下降。两个时期（2 个月、7 天）的颈椎疼痛强度和最后 7 天的腰椎疼痛强度也有所降低。结论结果表明，采用 ail 强调油人体工程学的定期锻炼计划可以减轻护理人员的肌肉骨骼症状。
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of a program designed to reduce back pain in nursing aides.Methods Female nursing aides from a university hospital who had suffered episodes of back pain for at least six months were included ill the Study. Participants were randomly divided into a control group and ail intervention group, The intervention program involved a set of exercises and ail educational component stressing the ergonomic aspect, administered twice a week during working hours tor four months, All subjects answered a structured questionnaire and the intensity of pain was assessed before and after the program using a Visual analogue scale (VAS). Student's t-test or the Wilcoxon Rank Stun Test for independent samples, and Chi-square test or the Exact Fisher test for categorical analysis, were used. The McNemar test and the Wilcoxon matched pairs test were used to compare the periods before and after the program.Results There was a statistically significant decrease ill the frequency of cervical pain in the last two months and in the last seven days in the intervention group. There was also a reduction in cervical pain intensity in the two periods (2 months, 7 days) and lumbar pain intensity in the last 7 days.Conclusions The results suggest that a program of regular exercise with ail emphasis oil ergonomics can reduce musculoskeletal symptoms in nursing personnel.
