Summary/Abstract: The work of nurses is associated with exposure to harmful chemical and biological factors, as well as overload of the motor system, which negatively affects their health. Most nurses suffer from back pains and indicate the link between work and physical and mental health. Pain complaints increased mainly while maintaining long-lasting, forced body positions and when carrying heavy things. We should also pay attention to the insufficient amount of auxiliary equipment in the care of the patient or if existing its poor technical condition.
