Confounding variables are weight and age. Unrelated variables are body mass index and exercise habits. The conclusion of this study is that the work period is the most dominant variable influencing musculoskeletal disorders with (p-value=0,007; OR: 17,949; 95% CI: 2,212-145,619). It is recommended for nurses to pay attention to the correct way of lifting patients so that they can adjust to body posture, and for K3RS should more active in providing training related to ergonomic patient handling.
