Back pain represents one of the most common occupational problems in nursing. Since the correct posture has a key role in prevention of back pain، this study was performed to determine of operating- room nurses'' readiness to adopt correct posture based on Transtheoretical Model (TTM).

This descriptive-analytical study included a convenience sample of 110 operating- room nurses employed at four hospitals in city of Hamadan. Participations completed a designed questionnaire to assess the readiness of change based on TTM.

The results of present study revealed that by increasing the stage of change (from precontemplation to maintenance)، adopting correct posture in the nurses، increased as well (P=. 01). Also، by increasing the stage of change، self-efficacy for adopting correct posture increased (P=. 03) and perceived cons decreased (P=. 02). Stage of change constructs could predict 68% variance of adopting correct posture in the nurses.

The results of present study indicated that the majority of operating-room nurses are in pre-operational levels (precontemplation، contemplation and preparation) for adopting correct posture. Considering stages of change as an intervening variable may contribute in any future intervention for this group.
