Low back pain is the most common public health problem throughout the world related to Nursing profession. The etiology of low back pain is assumed to be of multi-factorial origin as individual, work-related and psychosocial factors can contribute to its development. The study included 395 Nurses and gave a response rate of 91.9%. The mean age was 30.6 (±8.4) years. Nearly half of the participants (n=181, 45.8%, 95% CI (40.8%- 50.6%)) were complained low back pain. There were statistical significant association between low back pain and working shift, physical activities at work, sleep disturbance and felt little pleasure by doing things.
