Objective To understand the present situation of occupational low back pain of clinical nurses, and analyze its influence factors.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1300 clinical nurses from 7 Class Ⅲ Grade A general hospitals in 5 provincial capital cities, in the region of north China, central China, southern China, southwest and northwest, from April to December 2016. The survey tools included general demographic characteristics questionnaire, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Chinese version of Fear-Avoidance Belief Questionnaire (FABQ-CHI). A total of 1300 questionnaires were distributed, and 1279 valid were collected. SPSS 21.0 was applied for statistical analysis.Results In the 1279 nurses, 115 (8.99%) had no low back pain, and 1164 (91.01%) was positive. The majority of nurses suffered with mild pain, account for 64.69%. The average score of FABQ-CHI in negative nurses was (50.11±17.5), and that in positive nurses was (55.24±8.2), the difference was statistically significant (t=14.56,P< 0.001). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in VAS scores among nurses of different ages, marital status, fertility status, professional titles, working years, and whether or not they participated in training (P<0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that age (OR=1.40) and professional title (OR=1.84) were the influencing factors of low back pain.Conclusions The incidence of occupational low back pain in nurses is high, and it is related to individual factors, work related factors and psychological factors. It is suggested that great attention should be paid to the popularization of knowledge on prevention and treatment of low back pain and the training of occupational protection skills for clinical nurses. Especially, we should pay attention to the correlation between psychological factors and nurses' occupational low back pain, gradually improve the working environment and bad living habits of nurses, reduce the occurrence of low back pain, and improve the job satisfaction of clinical nurses.

Objective To explore the effects of telephone follow-up on patients with sub-clinical hypothyroidism. Methods Of 120 patients who were diagnosed as sub-clinical hypothyroidism between January, 2014 and June,2014, 60 were included in control group and 60 were assigned in observation group by a random number table. Patients in control group received routine check-up and treatment protocols according to their condition, in contrast, patients in observation group had extra telephone follow-up. Patients′symptoms, the degree of goiter, thyroid ultrasound examination, thyroid function and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), and other indicators were compared in the two groups after 12 weeks intervention. Results After the intervention, both groups had an improvement in slow reactions, chills, skin changes, body mass increase, etc. After invention, thyroid stimulating hormone and TPOAb in observation group were statistically different from those in control group [(1. 955 ± 1. 633) vs (2. 875 ± 3. 025) mIU/L, (204. 500 ± 825. 500) vs (438. 500 ± 1065. 250) IU/ml] (Z=2. 539,1. 451;P<0. 05). Patients with thyroid enlargementⅢdegrees reduced from 29 cases to 14 cases in observation group, which was better than that in control group (χ2 =2. 199, P<0. 05). Thyroid ultrasound results were similar between the two groups (χ2 =0. 043, P >0. 05). Conclusions Telephone follow-up intervention is helpful to improve the symptoms of patients with sub-clinical hypothyroidism, alleviate goiter and promote thyroid function back to normal.
