Differences in low back pain occurrence over a 6-month period between four recovery-stress groups

Abstract

The results indicate the relevance of the acute recovery-stress state for LBP occurrence.

Theoretical impact of workplace-based primary prevention of lumbar disc surgery in a French region: A pilot study

“…Simulated workplace-based mono-component work-centered interventions and multi-component global interventions showed that preventive efficiency varied depending on the intervention design, the number of workers in different jobs and the proportion of work-related LDS. Given that personal risk factors such as obesity or high leisure time stressors are also risk factors for LDS [34], reducing rates of LDS in the general working-age population will also require strategies to reduce personal risk factors, particularly in jobs with low levels of workrelated risk for LDS [20].…”

Evaluation of the effect of psychological recovery tools on back pain in an out-patient prevention program

“…From a practical point of view, the outcomes as stated in Heidari et al [28] formed the foundation to examine the role of recovery in our study within the prevention program. Mierswa and Kellmann [29] extended these associations by examining the predictive value of recovery-stress groups for BP occurrence in administrative university employees. After six months, the group with the highest stress and lowest recovery scores at baseline displayed a significantly higher proportion of BP occurrence compared to the group with the lowest stress and highest recovery scores.…”

“…Kallus [24] defines recovery as "an inter-and intraindividual multilevel (e.g., psychological, physiological, social) process in time for the re-establishment of personal resources and their full functional capacity" (p. 42). In light of the fact that deficient recovery has been associated with health problems [25][26][27] and BP in particular [28,29], strengthening this psychological component may exhibit a beneficial influence on BP development. Heidari et al [28] as well as Mierswa and Kellmann [29] have linked patterns of stress and recovery to the occurrence of BP.…”

“…In light of the fact that deficient recovery has been associated with health problems [25][26][27] and BP in particular [28,29], strengthening this psychological component may exhibit a beneficial influence on BP development. Heidari et al [28] as well as Mierswa and Kellmann [29] have linked patterns of stress and recovery to the occurrence of BP. The studies suggest that a negative pattern of high stress and low recovery is accompanied by both increased back-related pain intensity and disability [28] and an increased risk to develop BP over time [29].…”

The association between work stress, recovery, and BP has also been proposed in the model (Fig.…”
