Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was intended that I developed a support tool to apply "a low back pain measures nursing management practice model in the acute care hospitals" that a reporter developed in a precedent study to nursing management practice.
By study 1, I extracted promotion/disincentive in the practice for each item of the low back pain measures nursing management practice. By study 2, I made "an action list" about human resource administration and the workplace environment improvement based on promotion/disincentive of the nursing management practice that I extracted by study 1. Based on these, I made the learning teaching materials placed as one of the low back pain measures nursing management practice support tools.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまで看護職の腰痛に関連する問題に対して組織的な取り組みの必要性が指摘されていながらも、その対策は個人の行動に委ねられ、具体的な対策を講じることが困難な状況にあった。本研究で開発した支援ツールを適用することで、看護職の腰痛予防や、発症した腰痛に伴う不利益への対策において、その判断や行動の指針となったり、判断を後押しするのに役立つと考える。また、本モデルを、看護管理者の日々の実践や教育プログラムに使用することで、個々のスタッフの腰痛に関連する問題への気づきを促し、組織全体で腰痛対策に取り組む組織風土の変革に貢献できると考える。
