“…Previous studies have investigated the quality of life in LBP patients, and SF-36 is the most widely used HRQL forms to assess health concept in diseased groups as well as general population (Demiral et al, 2006). Soysal, Kara & Arda (2013) suggested the quality of life evaluated by SF-36 has significant impairment among LBP patients. Sleep disturbance, depression and anxiety are major factors affecting the life quality in patients with LBP.…”

BackgroundLow back pain (LBP) is the most common problem worldwide. There are several negative consequences of LBP, such as sleep disorders, work leave, disability, depression, anxiety, and poor quality of life. In this study, we designed to evaluate the prevalence of sleep disturbance in patients with non-specific LBP(NSLBP), and cross-correlation among sleep disorder, anxiety, depression and pain intensity in patients with NSLBP.AimIn this study, we designed to evaluate the prevalence of sleep disturbance in patients with NSLBP, and cross-correlation among sleep disorder, anxiety, depression and pain intensity in patients with NSLBP.MethodsA cross-sectional self-assessment questionnaire survey was carried out in an outpatient clinic. Anonymous assessments were used to characterize the presence of NSLBP, PSQI, VAS, SF-36 form, ODI, BAI and BDI. Cross-correlation among the severity of NSLBP and sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression and life quality were evaluated.ResultsPatients with NSLBP have a higher incidence of sleep disorder, anxiety and depression, and higher ODI scores than healthy people without LPB (P < 0.01). NSLBP patients with sleep disorders have more severe anxiety, depression, an increased VAS score and poor daily living (P < 0.05). NSLBP patients with anxiety have declined sleep quality, poor daily living, decreased work and social skills, and increased LBP severity (P < 0.05). NSLBP patients with depression have declined sleep quality, poor daily living, decreased work and social skills (P < 0.05). Significant associations were found between the severity of NSLBP and sleep disorders, anxiety and ODI scores.ConclusionPsychological and social factors play an important role in the development of NSLBP. NSLBP leads to sleep disorders, which decrease the sleep quality and increase the unpleasant emotions and memories in return; these can exacerbate the severity of LBP, with the cycle repeating to form a vicious circle.

“…Soysal et al [24] compared preoperative CLBP outpatients with a healthy control group and concluded that disability assessed by ODI score was higher in the order of preoperative patient, outpatient, and control. We found that patients who had experienced LBP for 3 months or longer had considerable functional disability (mean ODI score, 21.218 ± 0.951).…”

“…The authors also reported a strong relation between gender and the incidence of both depression and anxiety. Soysal et al [24] showed that BDI scores were significantly higher in CLBP patients than in chronic neck pain patients or a healthy control group. The current study also demonstrated significantly higher incidence of depression (51.5 vs 6.8%) and anxiety (42.5 vs 18.2%) in CLBP patients.…”

“…Boskovic et al [18] insisted that patients with chronic lumbar radiculopathy had significantly lower scores on the SF-36 questionnaire on the physical domain while their scores on the mental domain remained similar to those of the general healthy control group. Soysal et al [24] reported that the quality of life which was evaluated by the SF-36 including all subcategories among CLBP and chronic neck pain patients showed significant impairment compared to a healthy control group. In our results, the quality of life assessed by the SF-36 has shown significant impairment among the CLBP patients.…”

BackgroundChronic low back pain (CLBP) has a significant effect on quality of life and imposes a great economical burden on society. In a number of studies, validated questionnaires had been given to CLBP patients to determine their health-associated quality of life, sleep disturbance, and psychological status. However, such outcome studies had not been performed previously in Korea.MethodsWe used self-report questionnaires to compare CLBP patients with an age- and sex-matched healthy control group. Between September 2012 and August 2013, we enrolled 47 patients who had CLBP for more than 3 months (group P) and 44 healthy age- and sex-matched controls (group C), who completed the following self-report questionnaires: 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).ResultsThe scores from the ODI, BDI, and BAI were significantly higher in group P than in group C. The SF-36 scores were significantly lower in group P than in group C, suggesting lower quality of life in group P. The incidence of depression and anxiety was significantly higher in group P than in group C. However, neither the PSQI score nor the incidence of sleep disturbance was significantly different between the groups.ConclusionsPatients with CLBP showed considerable functional disability and significant impairment of psychological status with a low quality of life. Hence, it is important to evaluate CLBP patients to provide adequate psychological support.

“…Nevertheless, with the increase of the lumbar spine disability level, there is a tendency towards a limitation of physical activity among female teachers, both in occupational and personal domains. This may contribute to a decrease in their quality of life in general [30].…”

Background: Back pain represents one of the most common diseases across various populations of workers worldwide. This study analyzes the prevalence and severity of back pain, based on selected demographic variables, and the relationship with physical activity among school teachers. Material and Methods: The study included 998 professionally active teachers (840 females and 158 males) from the southern part of Poland. Validated psychometric tools, namely: 1) for evaluation of disability due to back pain -a Polish version of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Neck Disability Index (NDI), 2) for physical activity assessment -the Subjective Experience of Work Load (SEWL) as well as the authors' supplementary questionnaire, addressing demographic and anthropometric variables were used. Results: There was no correlation between age and the NDI scores in females (r = 0.027), in contrast to males (r = 0.202; p ≤ 0.05). Statistically significant correlations (p ≤ 0.05) were reported between: age and the ODI, in both females (r = 0.219) and males (r = 0.180). No associations between the body mass index (BMI)-ODI, and BMI-NDI were found. In the case of women, disability related to low back pain (LBP) had a negative impact on the indicators of their activity during work, sports, and leisure time. In the case of men, the NDI and ODI scores did not differ, based on activity indicators. Conclusions: Our findings confirm that back pain represents a serious concern among teachers. Age appears to be a prognostic factor, while no association between the BMI and LBP has been revealed. The limitation of physical activity leads to more frequent back pain. Med Pr 2015;66(6):771-778
