Abstract:
This study aims to assess the knowledge and practice of Body Mechanics among nursing students while performing selected nursing procedures. The research was conducted in a descriptive, non-experimental design using a structured questionnaire and observational checklist. Data were collected from a sample of 100 B.Sc. Nursing students at G.S.L. General Hospital, Rajahmundry. The results revealed that the majority of the nursing students had inadequate knowledge (59%) and poor practice (97%) regarding the use of Body Mechanics in nursing procedures. There was a positive but weak correlation between knowledge and practice (r = 0.04). The study concluded by developing an informational booklet to improve students' understanding and practice of Body Mechanics.
