Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Lower back pain (LBP) is a public health threat that affects people who frequently experience sedentary working conditions. Few studies reported on low back pain among bank workers in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the magnitude and associated factors of low back pain among bank workers in Hawassa City, Sidama Region, Ethiopia.
METHODS: This institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 20, 2023, to June 30, 2023. A multistage sampling technique was employed to select participants, and data were collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire, entered into Epidata version 4.6, and transferred to SPSS version 25 for further analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the independent predictors of lower back pain.
RESULTS: Of the 627 total study participants, six hundred seven bank workers participated in the study, with a response rate of 96.8%. The overall magnitude of lower back pain among the study population was 55.2%, with a 95% confidence interval (CI 51.1-59). Based on the multivariate binary logistic regression analysis, being in a manager position (AOR = 3.85; 95% CI = (1.2,12), a level 2 banker (AOR = 3.8; 95% CI = (1.9,8.9), age 30-39 years (AOR = 4; 95% CI = (2,12.4), an age ≥ 40 years (AOR = 5.4; 95% CI= (3.04,16.3), working in sufficient space (AOR = 0.4; 95% CI = (0.3,0.9), and physical activity (AOR = 0.2; 95% CI = (0.1,0.8)) were significantly associated with low back pain.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of low back pain among the bank workers was high in the study area. Being in a managerial position, being a level two banker, being aged 30-39 years, being aged ≥ 40 years, working in sufficient space, and engaging in physical activity were significantly associated. Therefore, it is essential to establish a health screening team, create awareness programs for the benefit of physical activity, provide sufficient working space, and give special attention to elderly and senior bankers and bank managers to reduce the risk of developing low back pain.

摘要：
背景：下背痛（LBP）是一种公共卫生威胁，会影响经常经历久坐工作条件的人。很少有研究报道埃塞俄比亚银行工作人员腰背痛，特别是在研究领域。因此,这项研究旨在确定哈瓦萨市银行工作人员腰背痛的程度和相关因素，SidamaRegion,埃塞俄比亚。
方法：这项基于机构的横断面研究于2023年4月20日至2023年6月30日进行。采用多阶段抽样技术选择参与者，数据是使用结构化的自我管理问卷收集的，进入Epidata版本4.6，并转移到SPSS版本25进行进一步分析。进行了双变量和多变量逻辑回归分析，以确定下腰痛的独立预测因素。
结果：在总共627名研究参与者中，六百七名银行工作人员参加了这项研究，有效率为96.8%。研究人群中腰背痛的总体程度为55.2%，95%置信区间（CI51.1-59）。基于多元二元逻辑回归分析，担任经理职位(AOR=3.85；95%CI=(1.2,12)，二级银行家(AOR=3.8；95%CI=(1.9,8.9)，年龄30-39岁(AOR=4；95%CI=(2,12.4)，年龄≥40岁(AOR=5.4；95%CI=(3.04,16.3)，在足够的空间内工作(AOR=0.4；95%CI=(0.3,0.9)，和体力活动(AOR=0.2;95%CI=(0.1,0.8))与下腰痛显著相关。
结论：研究地区银行工作人员腰背痛的患病率较高。处于管理地位，作为二级银行家，30-39岁，年龄≥40岁，在足够的空间工作，和参加体力活动显著相关。因此,建立健康筛查小组至关重要，为身体活动创造意识计划，提供足够的工作空间，并特别关注老年人和高级银行家以及银行经理，以降低患腰背痛的风险。
