Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore prevalence and causal factors of musculoskeletal diseases on nurses. Methods: This study was an integrated review. Documentations were searched through electric databases using SAGE journals, EBSCOhost, Pubmed, RISS, NDSL and KCI. Terminology for this review was "Nurse" and "Musculoskeletal" and language versions were Korean or English. Number of final articles was 70 (Korean articles were 11 and english versions were 59). Results: Studies related to musculoskeletal diseases on nurses started in Sweden and USA from 1995. Subjects of studies were general hospital nurses in 50 out of 70 studies. Lower back in Korea and waist in other countries were highest areas of muculoskeletal disease's prevalence. Revisable factors of musculoskeletal diseases on nurses included physical, psychosocial and environmental factors that were more than unrevised factors. Conclusion: This study suggests to develop programs for preventing musculoskeletal disease of lower back or waist in general hospitals because of high frequency. Interventions to prevent musculoskeletal diseases need to consider prevalence and quality indicators on nurses.
