摘要：Occupational low back pain is a serious problem among nurses, and the incidence of low back pain and the rate of absences resulting from low back pain are high among new nurses. Therefore, measures for low back pain are urgently required from the perspective of preventing the loss of nurses. In addition, as low back pain also frequently develops among nursing students during training at hospitals, measures for preventing low back pain must be established from an early stage, in other words basic nursing education. Forward leaning, which involves the forward flexion of the upper body, is a cause of low back pain developing during nursing actions. However, the application of body mechanics, which promote efficient actions, improves posture and may lead to prevention of low back pain.
