Background:
Ergonomic hazards are a growing concern among nursing professionals due to their association with musculoskeletal disorders and occupational injuries.
Objective:
This study aimed to assess the knowledge, perceptions, and practices of undergraduate nursing students regarding ergonomic hazards during clinical training.
Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing students at the University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a structured, self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results:
Students demonstrated moderate knowledge about ergonomic hazards and generally positive perceptions of ergonomic importance. However, their actual ergonomic practices were inconsistent, especially during clinical procedures involving patient handling.
Conclusion:
While students are aware of ergonomic risks, gaps in practice highlight the need for targeted training. Ergonomic education should be incorporated into nursing curricula to promote safe clinical behaviors and prevent injuries.
