Filter by:The goal of this study is to compare the effects of exercise interventions (lumbar stabilisation exercise (LSE) versus lumbar muscles strengthening exercises (LMSE)) on full body mechanics, functional disability outcomes and pain score among female nurses with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP). The main questions are: - What are the differences in full body mechanics, functional disability outcomes and pain score among female nurses with CNLBP? - How exercise intervention affects full body mechanics, functional disability outcomes and pain score among female nurses with CNLBP? Participants will be divided into three groups (lumbar stabilisation exercise (LSE), lumbar muscles strengthening exercises (LMSE) and control group). Exercise intervention group will be asked to perform 8 weeks of exercise intervention with : - 3D kinematics and trunk spinal loads test - Trunk muscle power (extensor) test - Sit-and-reach test - Functional disability (Roland-Morris Low Back Pain and Disability Questionnaire, RMQ) - Pain intensity (Visual analogue scale, VAS) - Endurance of trunk muscle test Meanwhile control group will be given a diary to record their daily activities which consist of their 24 hours diet recall for 8 weeks and involvement of any physical activity throughout the 8 weeks. Researchers will compare between two exercise groups to see if there is any differences in full body mechanics, functional disability outcomes and pain score across different among female nurses with CNLBP.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the nurse-supported self-management program on the sustained attention and sleep quality of night shift nurses. The self-management program consists of training and incentives for night shift nurses to gain healthy eating habits and improve their sleep health.
