Selected risk factors and the occurrence of back pain in nurses

Abstract

Results. Nurses at the age from 41 to 50 years were the most populous age group. The largest group was the employees with 21–30 years of professional experience. Most of the respondents worked at treatment wards. More than half of the respondents over the age of 50 complained of back pain. There is no correlation between the degree of disability (taking into account job seniority) and satisfaction with life.
