Covid-19 has shone a light on the psychological stresses of nurses work

For decades and until relatively recently, musculoskeletal disorders have been the principal cause of nurses’ sickness absence in the UK. I trained as a nurse in the era that first recognised the damage being done to nurses’ health and wellbeing by back injuries. From our very first day as student nurses, there was a real discipline in the way we were taught about the dangers of poor lifting techniques as part of a strategy to protect us from being the next generation of casualties of back injuries. Now mental health problems have overtaken back injuries to become the principal cause of nurses’ sickness absence.
