Preventing low back pain

腰痛の予防

Learn ways of giving care that do not hurt your lower back, and how to report when it hurts.

Key points

  1. Care that involves lifting a person in your arms puts a very heavy load on the lower back. The national guidelines ask employers, as a rule, not to have workers lift a person by human strength alone.

    人を抱え上げる介助は、腰にとても大きな負担がかかります。国の指針は、原則として、人の力だけで人を抱え上げさせないように、事業者に求めています。

  2. Use care equipment such as a lift (a machine that lifts a person) or a sliding sheet (a cloth that slides well). If you do not know how to use it, ask before you use it.

    リフト(人を持ち上げる機械)や、スライディングシート(よくすべる布)などの福祉用具を使います。使い方がわからないときは、使う前に聞きます。

  3. When care equipment cannot be used and you really have to lift the person, do it with 2 or more people. Do not push yourself alone. Call another staff member.

    福祉用具が使えなくて、どうしても抱え上げるときは、2人以上で行います。一人で無理をしないで、ほかの職員を呼びます。

  4. When you give care, get as close to the person as you can. Adjust the height of the bed. Avoid bending forward and avoid twisting your body.

    介助のときは、相手にできるだけ近づきます。ベッドの高さを調節します。前かがみや、体をひねる姿勢をさけます。

  5. When your lower back hurts, do not put up with it. Report it to your supervisor early. A report also helps to prevent low back pain in other people.

    腰が痛いときは、がまんしないで、早く上司に報告します。報告は、ほかの人の腰痛を防ぐことにもつながります。
