description | OBJECTIVES: The prevalence of work‐related low back pain (LBP) is high among care workers and can negatively affect quality of work life (QWL). To improve workplace satisfaction, this study aimed to identify factors influencing QWL among seniors' care workers with severe LBP. METHODS: A questionnaire survey including items on demographics, qualifications, basic job responsibilities, job stressors, LBP severity, QWL, and job satisfaction was conducted in 2018. In total, 1000 senior care facilities were selected via random sampling and eight care workers per institution were asked to complete the survey. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors influencing QWL of care workers with and without severe LBP. RESULTS: Data from 1247 care workers with severe LBP and 2009 with nonsevere LBP were included in the analysis. Overall QWL was lower in the severe LBP group than in the nonsevere LBP group. In both groups, human relationships, workplace support, discretionary responsibility level, and working hours or time off were identified as common factors influencing QWL. In the severe LBP group, the salary was also a significant influence on QWL, while in the nonsevere LBP group, the number of workers, promotion or official position, and caregiving technique were identified as significant QWL factors. CONCLUSIONS: The QWL of care workers with severe LBP was strongly influenced by salary. Since care workers suffering from severe LBP are working for a salary while enduring the pain and do not have found a worth doing, they need to prevent LBP and get job satisfaction and self‐progress. |
