Abstract :
A major medical condition and one of the main
contributors to disability, low back pain (LBP) affects
many people. Nursing is a profession with a greater risk
for the development of low back pain. Body
Mechanics means use of the muscles of the body and the
skeletal system in such a way as to avoid injury or strain
when assisting in the movement, positioning and transfer
of a client. Using bodily mechanics low back pain can be
reduced.
A research study entitled “A Study to Assess the
Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme On
Knowledge Regarding Body Mechanics in Reducing Low
Back Pain Among Staff Nurse at Selected Department
Of Sharda Hospital Of Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh”
was conducted by Ms. Kalpana Bhandari in the Partial
fulfillment of requirement for the award of Master of
Science in Nursing at Sharda university, Greater Noida
UP.
Objectives:
Objectives of the study were to assess the level of
knowledge regarding Body mechanics among staff nurse,
to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching
programme on knowledge regarding body mechanics in
reducing low back pain among staff nurses at selected
department of Sharda Hospital and to find the
association between the pretest and posttest knowledge
score of staff nurses with selected demographic
variables.
Materials and methods:
A Pre-experimental research design was used in this
study, Purposive Sampling technique was adopted for
the selection of sample. The target population for the
study was staff nurse working in ICU, Casualty andOrtho ward of Sharda Hospital. The sample size for the
study was 40. The tool includes a knowledge
questionnaire and demographic data to assess the
knowledge regarding body mechanics. The tool's
dependability was determined using the split-half
method. Before using the tool, each participant provided
their written informed consent, which was obtained from
the ethics council of Sharda University. The conceptual
framework of this study was founded on Ernestine
Wiedenbach’s “Helping art of clinical nursing theory.The
mean pre-test score was 11.7. The mean post test score
was 12.89. It indicates that in the pretest those who had
poor knowledge score were increased. This shows the
efficiency of STP for knowledge gain. One-way ANOVA
was computed to find the significant association between
pretest & posttest knowledge scores with selected
demographic characteristics of the staff nurses. It
revealed that there was no statistically significant
association (p>0.05) found between pretest & posttest
knowledge scores with selected demographic
characteristics of the staff nurses.Conclusions:
The finding shows that the study was effective to
increase the knowledge regarding body mechanics to
reduce low back pain.
