Background and purposeNonspecific low back pain (LBP) is the most prevalent musculoskeletal condition in various age ranges and is associated with depression. The aim of this study was to determine the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores in participants with nonspecific LBP and no-pain by age distribution.MethodsA case–control study was carried out following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology criteria. A sample of 332 participants, divided into the following age categories: 19–24 (n=11), 25–39 (n=66), 40–64 (n=90), 65–79 (n=124), and ≥80 (n=41) years was recruited from domiciliary visits and an outpatient clinic. The BDI scores were self-reported in participants with nonspecific acute or subacute (≤3 months) LBP (n=166) and no-pain (n=166).ResultsThe BDI scores, mean ± standard deviation, showed statistically significant differences (p<0.001) between participants with nonspecific acute or subacute LBP (9.590±6.370) and no-pain (5.825±5.113). Significantly higher BDI scores were obtained from participants with nonspecific acute and subacute LBP in those aged 40–64 years (p<0.001; 9.140±6.074 vs 4.700±3.777) and 65–79 years (p<0.001; 10.672±6.126 vs 6.210±5.052). Differences were not significant in younger patients aged 19–24 (p=0.494; 5.000±2.646 vs 8.250±7.498), 25–39 (p=0.138; 5.440±5.245 vs 3.634±4.397), and in those aged ≥80 years (p=0.094; 13.625±6.1331 vs 10.440±5.591).ConclusionParticipants with nonspecific acute and subacute LBP present higher BDI depression scores, influenced by age distribution. Specifically, patients in the age range from 40 to 80 years with LBP could require more psychological care in addition to any medical or physical therapy. Nevertheless, physical factors, different outcomes, and larger sample size should be considered in future studies.

The majority of women experience pain during breastfeeding initiation with few strategies to manage breast and nipple pain. In fact, women cite breast and nipple pain as among the most common reasons for breastfeeding cessation. To address this important issue, we developed a breastfeeding self‐management (BSM) intervention, based on the Individual and Family Self‐Management Theory Framework. In this framework, self‐management is conceptualized as a process in which women use knowledge, beliefs, and social facilitation to achieve breastfeeding goals. The purpose of this longitudinal pilot randomized controlled trial was to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the BSM intervention with women initiating breastfeeding. Recruitment of 60 women intending to breastfeed occurred within 48 hr of delivery and women were randomized to either the intervention or usual care group. The BSM intervention group received BSM education modules that included information of how to manage breast and nipple pain and self‐management support through biweekly texting from the study nurse, and were asked to complete a daily breastfeeding journal. Primary outcomes measured at baseline, 1, 2, and 6 weeks will be used to (a) evaluate feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the BSM intervention, and (b) assess the influence of protective and risk factors of breastfeeding pain (including individual genetic polymorphisms related to pain sensitivity) on process variables for self‐management of breastfeeding and breastfeeding pain, and on proximal (breastfeeding pain severity and interference, breastfeeding frequency) and distal outcomes (breastfeeding exclusivity and duration and general well‐being).
