#0047 Psychosocial and occupational factors associated with low back pain among nurses in Saudi Arabia

Could Stress and Job Satisfaction Be Related to Lower Back Pain among Nurses?Lower back pain (LBP) is a common problem that sits in the top 10 conditions contributing to disease and disability. Nurses are more likely to suffer from LBP than the average person because of the nature of their work; in fact, researchers have shown that LBP is the main cause for absenteeism among nurses.However, despite LBP being such a common issue, its association with psychosocial factors such as work-related stress and personal experiences is not very clear. Few studies on this topic have been conducted worldwide, but no study has been conducted in Saudi Arabia, even though about 75% of nurses in the capital city of Riyadh suffer from LBP.Considering the serious and far-reaching consequences that LBP has on the lives of nurses, we decided to conduct a cross-sectional study to clarify what psychosocial factors are most strongly associated to LBP. We surveyed 427 nurses from 16 hospitals in Riyadh and performed statistical analyses on their answers to our questionnaire.
