Background: Back injury in nurses is one of the most common health problems. The chronic low back pain leads to several problems including disability, daily activities, physical and emotional problems and decreasing quality of life. The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of life of nursing staff with chronic nonspecific low back pain in Yazd, Iran. Materials and Methods: This study was a descriptive-analytic study. A total of 119 nurses were selected with nonrandom purposive sampling method. Health-related quality of life of the participants was assessed using the 36-item short-form health survey questionnaire (SF-36) and analyzed through SPSS software version 20 by appropriate statistical tests. Results: This study showed that there were significant differences between the quality of life of nursing staff with chronic low back pain and Iranian normal population in all aspects (P < .0001). It was revealed that only in the area of physical function there was a significant relationship between age and the quality of life (P < .0001). Conclusion: The results confirmed the effect of income on dimensions such as physical role, bodily pain, mental health, and social function.
