Objective: To study the body mechanics factors that affect nursing care in critically ill patients. Method: Documentary descriptive. Results and conclusion: It was determined that among the factors that affect the use of body mechanics in the care of ICU patients, the main one is the knowledge of this tool, because if the staff is not trained on the subject, they will not be able to take care of themselves or prevent future injuries. Many methods can reduce or prevent injuries and improve the prognosis or outcome of injured people. These include anticipating challenges by assessing risk assessment, providing safety training, control bands, personal protective equipment, safety guards, safety mechanisms on machinery and safety barriers.
