Objective To explore the current status of the stress and coping styles of emergency room nurses in Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals, to discuss the correlation between stress and coping styles, and to provide a basis for formulating targeted training plans. Methods Totally 178 emergency room nurses from 9 Class ⅢGrade A hospitals in Hebei Province were randomly selected as the study subject from April to May 2016 and investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Nurse's Working Stress Source Scale and Coping Style Questionnaire. Results The total average stress score of the nurses was (1.88±0.56); and the scores for each dimension of coping styles were: (0.84±0.12) for problem-solving, (0.71±0.20) for fantasy, (0.68±0.22) for rationalization, (0.67±0.24) for avoidance, (0.67±0.14) for asking for help, and (0.60±0.29) for self-accusation. Nursing and working stress was positively correlated with the coping styles such as fantasy and rationalization (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with self-accusation (P<0.05). Conclusions Emergency room nurses' stress generally remains at a medium and high level. Therefore, nursing managers should formulate proper nursing management measures and take necessary measures to alleviate nurses' stress.

ObjectiveTo investigate the health status of clinical nurses and nurses with occupational low back pain(OLBP) and its influencing factors. MethodsUsing convenience sampling method, 1 279 clinical nurses from 7 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in 6 cities of China were investigated by using Chinese Version of Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire(CRMDQ), the MOS Item Short Form Health Survey(SF-36) and Visual Assimilation Scale(VAS) from April to October 2016 to understand the health status of nurses with OLBP and the related influencing factors. By comparing with the domestic norms, the health status of nurses with OLBP and the influence of different demographic characteristics on the health status of nurses with OLBP were analyzed, and the correlation between the functional disorders and health status of nurses with OLBP was analyzed. ResultsThe incidence of low back pain in clinical nurses was 91.0% (1 164/1 279), and the scores of each dimensions of health status were lower than the national norm (n=8 448). Nine factors, such as sex, age, marital status, fertility status, working life, department, night shift frequency, pain degree and pain frequency, can affect the health status of nurses with low back pain in varying degrees. The nurses with low back pain got the total score of (41.60±5.72)from the CRMDQ and the scores of the 8 dimensions in SF-36 were all lower than the national norm, with statistical differences (P< 0.01). The results of correlation analysis showed that nurses' lumbar vertebral dysfunction was negatively correlated with all dimensions of health status (P < 0.01). ConclusionsThe factors influencing the health status of nurses with low back pain include many aspects. It is suggested to improve the occupational environment, strengthen occupational protection, prevent and alleviate the OLBP of nurses, so as to improve the health status of clinical nurses.

ObjectiveTo explore the nurses' real feelings in Class Ⅲ hospital with occupational low back pain(OLBP) so as to provide reference in the improvement of nurses' occupational protection. MethodsIn August 2018, 12 nurses with OLBP in a Class Ⅲ hospital were interviewed in depth by using phenomenological method of qualitative research, and data were analyzed by content analysis method. ResultsTwo themes were concluded which were: nurses' perception on the risk factors of OLBP and nurses' psychological feeling on the severity of OLBP. ConclusionsNurses' perception on the risk factors of OLBP is mainly related to their occupational characteristics. The psychological experience of its severity has negative impact on their body and mind; the nurses themselves and the nursing managers should pay enough attention to it and take a number of occupational protective measures to actively prevent the occurrence of OLBP in nurses.

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.
