Özet: The Intensive Care Unit  employees face biological, chemical, physical, psychosocial and biomechanical risks due to the services they provide. In the intensive care unit, the adjustment of ergonomic factors such as easily adjustable bearings, auxiliary lifting and transport vehicles, taking into account anthropometric measurements are of great importance in preventing musculoskeletal disorders.  In this study, the determination of the stresses of nurses and other health personnel working in Neurology Intensive Care Unit of a hospital during patient care and transportation by REBA method is discussed. In the unit, 11 operations such as positioning of bed and bed linen were determined and 15 nurses working in unit were observed and REBA scores were determined. The REBA scores of the operations ranged from 2 to 10. Alternative solutions have been developed in order to prevent these difficulties and to bring to the level of the risks  to an acceptable level. The REBA score was 9 to 2 with the patient's carriage which was recommended for use in wrinkled bed sheet editing and stretching with the highest risk score; It is estimated that the REBA score will decrease from 9 to 3 with the use of sliding sheets in the process of pulling the patient to bed. It is estimated that the REBA score will decrease from 9 to 2 with the patient carrying lift which is recommended for use in wrinkled bed sheet editing and stretching with the highest risk score and  the REBA score will decrease from 9 to 3 with the use of sliding bed sheets in the process of pulling the patient to bed.
