Aim: Nursing has obtained the second rank regarding Work – Related MusculoSkeletal Disorders (WRMSDs). This study aimed to assess if self –efficacy could be the best predictor for back Pain Prevention Behavior among health care workers.
Method and Instruments:
In this cross-sectional study, 452 healthcare workers who were working in different wards of the 6 general hospitals affiliated to Qom University of Medical Sciences were randomly selected through convenience sampling method. Data were collected through 3 scales such as demographic questionnaire, Work Related Low Back Pain Predictors Questionnaire (WRLBPPQ) and a checklist for assessing the preventive behaviors of spinal damage and analyzed through descriptive and analytic tests through SPSS version 16.
Finding: A total of 452 individuals participated in the study (289 males and 163 females) with a mean age of 37± 8.3 years. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that self-efficacy was the most important predictor for back Pain Prevention Behavior (Standardized Coefficients: 0.218, P value < 0.0001)
Conclusion: The results of this study can be used to develop an education program based on self-efficacy training/promoting among healthcare workers.
