Abstract
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are a major occupational health problem among nurses. Existing interventions have not totally eliminated the risk for WRMSDs. Safe work behavior and risk perception may play an important role in modifying this risk.
The aims of the study were to identify factors influencing safe work behaviors related to patient handling and risk perceptions about risk of musculoskeletal injury among critical care nurses; and examine the relationship between safe work behavior and risk perception.
