Health workers face a higher likelihood of being exposed to LBP compared to employees in the construction and manufacturing sectors. Data on LBP among hospital workers in Ghana are however limited. This study examined the prevalence, predisposing factors and turnover intention related to LBP among health workers in the Greater Accra region of Ghana.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A multi-centred facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the Greater Accra region from January 30 \u2013May 31, 2023. A multi-stage sampling technique was adopted, and the study participants were selected through proportion-to-size simple random sampling. STATA 15 software was used for analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors associated with LBP at a p &lt; 0.05.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A survey was conducted among 607 health workers in 10 public and private hospitals. The prevalence of LBP was 81.6% [95% CI: (78.2%-84.6%)]. Advanced age [AOR = 1.07 (1.00, 1.16)], working for more than 5 days in a week [AOR = 8.14 (2.65, 25.02)], working overtime [AOR = 2.00 (1.16, 3.46)], rarely involved in transferring patients [AOR = 3.22 (1.08, 9.60)], most of the time involved in transferring patients [AOR = 6.95 (2.07, 23.26)], awkward posture during work [(AOR = 2.36 (1.31, 4.25)], perceived understaffing [(AOR = 1.84 (95% CI = 1.04\u20133.27)], sleep duration \u2265 8 [AOR = 0.54 (0.31, 0.97)] and sitting intermittently at work [AOR = 0.31 (0.12, 0.80)] were factors significantly associated with LBP. A substantial number, 123 (24.9%), occasionally had intention of leaving their jobs.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The study revealed a high proportion of low back pain (LBP), and turnover intention attributed to LBP. Moreover, organizational and occupational factors were found to be significantly associated with LBP. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions aimed at reducing the burden of LBP within these specific areas.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0317582","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,16]],"date-time":"2025-01-16T18:49:43Z","timestamp":1737053383000},"page":"e0317582","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Prevalence, predisposing factors, and turnover intention related to low back pain among health workers in Accra, Ghana"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0212-195X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Philip Apraku","family":"Tawiah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Appiah-Brempong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Okyere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geoffrey","family":"Adu-Fosu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary Eyram","family":"Ashinyo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,16]]},"reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"pone.0317582.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"447","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kql056","article-title":"Low back pain and occupation among Irish health service workers","volume":"56","author":"C Cunningham","year":"2006","journal-title":"Occupational Medicine"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0317582.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.7189\/jogh.09.010304","article-title":"Delivering the right care to people with low back pain in low-and middle-income countries: the case of Nepal","volume":"9","author":"S Sharma","year":"2019","journal-title":"Journal of global health"},{"issue":"9","key":"pone.0317582.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1533","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.1533","article-title":"Non\u2010spinal low back pain: Global epidemiology, trends, and risk factors","volume":"6","author":"P Shokri","year":"2023","journal-title":"Health Science Reports"},{"issue":"5","key":"pone.0317582.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"h444","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.h444","article-title":"Multidisciplinary biopsychosocial rehabilitation for chronic low back pain: Cochrane systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"350","author":"SJ Kamper","year":"2015","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"issue":"9859","key":"pone.0317582.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2163","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(12)61729-2","article-title":"Years lived with disability (YLDs) for 1160 sequelae of 289 diseases and injuries 1990\u20132010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010","volume":"380","author":"T Vos","year":"2012","journal-title":"The lancet"},{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0317582.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"329","DOI":"10.2478\/fon-2020-0042","article-title":"Prevalence and influencing factors of low back pain among nurses in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"7","author":"DY Wang","year":"2020","journal-title":"Frontiers of Nursing"},{"key":"pone.0317582.ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1111\/ner.12018","article-title":"Epidemiology of low back pain in adults.
