人们普遍认为，背痛是一个严重的问题，在护理专业。本文首先回顾了流行病学数据有关的程度，这一问题：首先，关于过度流行的背部疼痛的护士（与一般人口相比）;第二，背痛对因病缺勤和劳动力流动的影响;第三，关于背痛与患者处理之间的关联。随后对许多常见患者固有的风险水平进行了正式评估-处理程序。(This是基于对以前没有收集到的一些现有数据来源的新分析。对于每一个程序，腹内压（IAP）的计算作为一个功能的病人体重和风险水平的测量方面的概率的标准水平45毫米汞柱（6.0千帕）被violated.The文件的结论与讨论的影响，这些研究结果的人体工程学方法的安全系统的工作设计。
It is widely recognized that back pain is a serious problem within the nursing profession. This paper commences with a review of epidemiological data concerning the magnitude of this problem: first, with regard to the excess prevalence of back pain in nurses (as compared with the general population); second, with regard to the impact of back pain in terms of sickness absence, and labour turnover; and third, with regard to the association between back pain and patient handling.There follows a formalized assessment of the level of risk inherent in a number of common patient-handling procedures. (This is based upon a new analysis of a number of existing sources of data which have not been gathered together before.) For each procedure, intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is calculated as a function of patient weight and the level of risk is measured in terms of the probability of a criterion level of 45 mmHg (6.0 kPa) being violated.The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings for an ergonomic approach to the design of safe systems of work.
