Abstract

MethodsThe formal and published articles were retrieved based on the search terms of nurses, low-back pain and factors in Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , WanFang data, VIP, China Biology Medicine Database, PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library, and with the methods of "snowball" and manual searching from 31st January 2004 to 30th April 2019. RevMan 5.3 was used to meta-analysis for included articles.
ResultsThis systematic review and Meta-analysis totally included 11 articles involving 11 097 nurses, and extracted 7 influencing factors of low-back pain with OR value >1. There were three factors related to low-back pain including advanced working ages (OR=2.09, 95% CI: 1.55-2.82) , being married (OR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.11-2.50) and being on night shift in turn (OR=1.29, 95% CI: 1.14-1.46) . There still lacked strong evidences in whether ages, positional titles, education levels and departments influenced low-back pain of nurses.
ConclusionsMain influencing factors of non-specific low-back pain among nurses in China are advanced working ages, being married and being on night shift in turn. There are no statistical differences in the influences of ages, positional titles, education levels and departments on low-back pain of nurses. Intervention should be conducted from aspects of nurses and hospital management.
