Abstract | In this study a questionnaire was designed to survey the incidence of back strain amongst staff members of a geriatric unit. This was completed by 71 staff members of a total of 99 forms issued. It would appear that back strain occurs in 70% of cases, but it is reported in only 8%. The causes of back strain in nursing are discussed and preventative measures outlined | ||||
