Pain-related factors associated with lost work days in nurses with low back pain: A cross-sectional study

Conclusion The findings provide important new information regarding what is (and of equal importance) what is not associated with LWDs in nurses with LBP. Implications To effectively reduce LBP-related work disability, interventions may need to teach nurses how to better manage constant pain and remain active despite pain, rather than focus on pain reduction. Research to examine the potential efficacy of such treatment approaches for nurses with LBP is warranted.
