Educational interventions can help people acquire knowledge of the anatomy of the back, how to lift and carry objects effectively, and potential risk factors of low back pain (Sowah et al., 2018). Health promotion is essential in improving disability, pain, as well as the overall quality of life (Albaladejo et al., 2010). Young adults have not been largely targeted by health promotion programmes (Lee et al., 2017). In fact, most of the educational interventions directed for young adults focused on healthy eating and physical activity (Brown et al., 2015; Floegel et al., 2014). Moreover, lack of adulthood health promotion programmes may limit the success of childhood health education interventions (Allman-Farinelli et al., 2016). To date, there is no consensus on the educational programme for improving knowledge of back health, ergonomics and postural behaviour in University students. Such programmes can vary widely in the literature (Steele et al., 2006). Previous studies in this area may vary in the aims, the ways of delivery, the duration, the intensity and the content of the educational programmes. The objectives of the programmes can include the following: to reduce the prevalence of MSDs (Hoe et al., 2018); to prevent the occurrence of low back pain, to teach acceptable sitting posture, safe lifting techniques, sports injury prevention, to train students to make appropriate and safe decisions regarding the use of their body to prevent the onset of back pain, and to improve their knowledge of back care principles (Steele et al., 2006). Quantitative studies including RCTs, Cluster randomised controlled trials, quasi-randomised control trials (QRCTs) and prospective cohort studies with control groups will be included. Single group designs, retrospective case-control studies and qualitative studies will be excluded.
