Acharya Technique's Efficacy in Reducing Low Back Pain in Nurses

A wounded part's defence mechanism, pain, is meant to keep it from getting worse. Worldwide, people are impacted by Low Back Pain (LBP), a prevalent, debilitating, and burdensome illness. Trauma, inappropriate use, or excessive uses are possible causes. The Acharya Technique is a simple, natural stretching exercise that is safe to use, won't damage anyone's health, and is a good way for nurses to relieve their low back discomfort. This paper aims to appraise nurses' levels of low back ache at the pretest and posttest. This evaluates the Acharya Technique's efficacy in reducing low back ache in nurses. Additionally, to correlate the degree of low back ache experienced by nurses with the demographic characteristics they have chosen. Thirty nurses at Saveetha Medical College and Hospital in Chennai who met the included criteria were the subjects of a study using a pre-experimental pretest and posttest research design with purposive sampling technique. Questionnaires that were structured were used to collect data. A policy of confidentiality was followed during the entire process. An arrangement of inferential and descriptive statistics was used to evaluate the composed data. According to the results, staff nurses' mean pretest pain score was 7 ± 2.13, and their mean posttest pain score was 3 ± 1.6. Four was the mean difference score. At the p<0.05 level, the computed paired "t" test value of t = 15.5 was determined to be statistically significant. This indicates unambiguously that the staff nurse's level of discomfort was found to have reduced in the post-test after using the Acharya approach for low back ache. The persistence of this work is to assess the Acharya technique's efficacy among nurses. According to the study's findings, back discomfort decreased with the application of the Acharya technique.
