The nursing intervention consisted of individualizededucational sessions about proper body mechanics, isometric exercise, hot and coldapplication. The effect of the intervention was evaluated by the same questionnaire. Thefieldwork started in May and ended in November 2010. The results demonstrated significantimprovements in the scores of Copenhagen scale after the intervention; the median total scoredecreased from 21 to 12 (p<0.001). Self-efficacy scores also improved; the median total scoreincreased from 31.0 to 57.7 (p<0.001).
