| Abstract: | Background Although low back pain (LBP) among nursing staff, especially in nursing aides (NAs), has been a major health problem around
the world, there is limited information on its prevalence in Taiwan. In addition, various measurements have been used to determine
LBP; understanding the risk factors for each measurement of LBP is essential for prevention. This study aimed to assess the
prevalence of and risk factors for different measures of LBP among NAs in Taiwan. |
