A study of Low back pain prevention for health education of care workers

对495名护工进行腰背痛预防调查，88.4%的护工发生过腰背痛。在预防方面，自我保健比组织努力更为普遍，保健设备的普及率也较低，预防教育在工作场所有效，因此需要加强培训。对教育机构的访问调查（n=11）显示，没有关于健康教育、预防和护理设备使用的适当教材，为了提高健康意识，需要职业健康和安全知识、积极改善工作环境和评估护理设备使用情况的技术。重要的是通过健康和腰痛教育方案获得这方面的知识，这些方案不仅应成为社会护理的基础，以帮助使用者的生活独立和安全，而且还应用于建立和确保人力护理资源。

According to the survey about low back pain (LBP) prevention of care workers (n=495), 88.4% experienced LBP. To prevent, self-care was more common than organizational efforts and the penetration of care equipment was also low.Preventive education was effective in the workplace, therefore training need to be reinforced. The interview survey at educational institutions (n=11) revealed that there is no appropriate teaching material for health education, prevention and the use of care equipment.In order to improve health awareness, knowledge of occupational health and safety, proactive improvement of the work environment and assessment techniques for care equipment utilization are all needed. It is important to acquire this knowledge through health and LBP education programmes.These programmes should not only be the basis of social care for assisted independence and the safety of, the user's lives, but also be used to establish and secure human care resources.
