The inclusion criteria were aged 20 – 45 years old and had been working in the hospitals for more than 1 year. The percentage of back pain in the last one year was 28.5 % (N=382). Fifty five percents of the back pain occurred when moving patients in bed, 23.9 % when moving patients to or from wheel chair. Almost all paramedics with back pain (90.8 %) experienced recurrent back pain more than once in a year, 11 % had been worse back pain than before, and 43.1 % went to see a physician. The percentage of back pain was higher in paramedics aged 40 years old and above and also in paramedics with working period more than 15 years (p0.05).
