dc.description.abstractNursing is a high-risk profession for the development of musculoskeletal problems and low back pain (LBP) in particular. Currently there is limited information available for the prevalence of LBP among the South African nursing population and no evidence on knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about the prevention and self-treatment principles for LBP among this group. The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about the prevention and self-treatment principles for LBP among nursing staff in Cecilia Makiwane Hospital, East London Hospital Complex. The study found that the majority of the participants experienced LBP on a regular basis.en_US
