Objective To develop and validate the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Scale for Prevention of Occupational Low Back Pain for Nurses (hereinafter referred to as KAP). Methods Based on the knowledge, attitudes and practice theory, a list of 48 potential items were developed by reviewing literatures related to the prevention of occupational low back pain in nurses. The Delphi expert consultation method was used to conduct two rounds of consultation on the items, and the KAP (draft) with 31 items was formed. A total of 269 nurses in a hospital in Guangdong Province were selected as study subjects by convenience sampling method and investigated with the KAP (draft). The list was selected and its validity tested using SPSS 25.0 software. Results The authority degrees of two rounds of expert consultation were 0.919 and 0.922. All of the recovery rates of valid questionnaires were >80.0%, with the coefficients of variation ranged from 0.07 to 0.40 and 0.05 to 0.28. The Kendall's concordance coefficients were 0.198 and 0.274, respectively (all P<0.05). After item selection, five items were removed, resulting in the KAP with 28-item including three dimensions： knowledge, attitude and behavior. The scale-level content validity index/average was 0.976, and the item-level content validity index ranged from 0.833 to 1.000, as assessed by experts. The scale demonstrated 100.0% for convergent and discriminative validity of the three dimensions. The exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 51.0%. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the overall scale and knowledge, attitude, and behavior dimensions were 0.880, 0.878, 0.895, and 0.877, respectively. Split-half reliability coefficients were 0.922, 0.863, 0.852, and 0.820, respectively. Conclusion The KAP shows good reliability and validity and can be used to assess knowledge, attitude and practice levels related to occupational low back pain prevention among nurses.

Idiopathic oligoasthenospermia （IO） has been increasingly emphasized in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility. Oxidative stress damage directly affects sperm quality and spermatogenesis， constituting a major causative factor of IO. Firstly， due to its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids， the sperm plasma membrane is highly sensitive to reactive oxygen species （ROS）， leading to lipid peroxidation accumulation and even inducing ferroptosis. Secondly， deficient downstream key proteins in the base excision repair pathway render sperm unable to repair extensive DNA oxidative damage under oxidative stress. Simultaneously， under oxidative stress， the apoptotic pathway of sperm is cascade-activated， causing rapid loss of motility. ROS further disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis， inhibiting testosterone production and ultimately affecting spermatogenesis. Wuzi Yanzongwan，in line with traditional Chinese medicine theory of treating IO through "nourishing kidney essence and harmonizing Yin and Yang"， clinically demonstrates its ability to improve sperm morphology， count， and motility， thereby enhancing male fertility. The research on the pharmacological constituents of Wuzi Yanzongwan primarily involves establishing a characteristic spectrum of Chinese medicine to achieve quality control and exploring the pharmacology of effective components. Studies have found that its main active ingredients consist of flavonoids and phenylpropanoids. Specifically， compounds such as hyperin， acteoside， kaempferol， and schisandrin A are identified as the primary active substances and quality control components. These compounds exhibit strong antioxidant activity and have been partly applied in research related to reproductive endocrine disorders. Tripterygium glycoside is primarily used for modeling of oxidative stress-induced IO. It leads to the accumulation of various lipid peroxides in testicular tissues and concurrently compromises the body's antioxidant capacity. Mechanistic studies have found that Wuzi Yanzongwan can inhibit elevated ROS levels in IO models and enhance the body's antioxidant capacity， thereby ameliorating inflammation， suppressing cell apoptosis， promoting testosterone production， and ultimately alleviating the decline in sperm quality and spermatogenesis caused by oxidative stress.
