One hundred sixty six clinical nurses and 71 office workers occurred low back pain.Additionally, thirtyfive point two% office workers and 58.4% clinical nurses with low back pain pointed out in relation to their works (p<0.01). Risk factors of low back pain were lifting and half-posture in their works. And their low back pain grew worse by work on 34.4% clinical nurses and 6.6% office workers (p<0.01). Therefore, It is essential for clinical nurses to investigate the risk factors of low back pain and to be educated for preventing work related low back pain.
