Abstract
The present study assessed the effect of back strengthening exercises in reducing low back pain among staff nurses in Government Hospital, Namakkal. The objectives were to assess the pre test level of low back pain among staff nurses using numeric pain rating scale, to assess the post test level of low back pain among staff nurses using numeric pain rating scale, to evaluate the effect of back strengthening exercises in terms of reduction in the intensity of low back pain using numeric pain rating scale and to find the association between the pre test level of low back pain among staff nurses with selected demographic variables. The conceptual framework used was Ludwig Von Bertalanffy’s general system theory. The study was conducted using one group pretest-posttest design. A General questionnaire related to subjective experience of back pain was given to all staff nurses who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. 50 staff nurses who experience low back pain were selected as sample by purposive sampling technique. The demographic data was collected and the Numeric pain rating scale was given to the sample to assess the intensity of back pain. Back strengthening exercises was demonstrated and taught to the subjects as two groups with 25 samples in each group. The exercises were practiced by the samples for 30 minutes daily for a period of 15 days. Post assessment of pain level was assessed using numerical pain rating scale on 15th day. The data were analyzed by both descriptive and inferential statistics which revealed a significant reduction in the level of back pain among the staff nurses. (Z =25.11 at p<0.05 level(1.96)).
