The present study was aimed at assessing the knowledge on body mechanics among staff nurses working in selected hospitals of Calicut. The objectives of the study were to find out the level of knowledge regarding body mechanics among staff nurses and to prepare an information booklet on body mechanics for staff nurses. A sample of 80 staff nurses were selected conveniently for the study. The conceptual framework of the study was based on Nola. J. Pender’s Health Promotion Model. A non-experimental descriptive approach was chosen for the study. The data for the present study were collected using semi- structured questionnaire. The finding of the study shows that 97.5% of the selected sample had poor knowledge and 2.5% had average knowledge on body mechanics. The study revealed that there is significant association between knowledge on body mechanics and selected demographic variables like year of experience and educational status.
