“…Sions and Higs explained the lack of a significant relation between fear avoidance and disability in their Hispanic patients, which is similar to our results, with the occurrence of fear and avoidance in the context of the severity of pain and external control focus in these patients (32). In the study of Cai et al (5) which they cited, it was stressed that severity of pain partly mediated the relation between fear avoidance behavior and disability.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between fear and avoidance beliefs with the disability of patients with chronic low back pain and the prediction of quality of life. MaterIaL and MetHOds:105 outpatients with chronic low back pain were included in the study. Patients were evaluated with a sociodemographic questionnaire Visual Analog Scale Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire Beck anxiety inventory Beck depression inventory, Somatosensory Amplification Scale Fear and avoidance beliefs questionaire and Short form-36 health survey questionnaire. resuLts:As pain intensity increased, FABQ increased. Higher levels of anxiety, depression, FABQ (work) leads to higher level of disability. The disability predictors were found to be pain intensity and level of anxiety. When levels of pain intensity, level of anxiety and depression, FABQ increased, physical function decreased. Pain intensity and FABQ (physical) were found to be the predictors of quality of life.cOncLusIOn: Findings of our study were compatible with the previous studies that evaluated the relationship between pain intensity and FAB with the disability of patients with chronic low back pain. We think that it'd have a role for the perception of disability and connected to this to prevent the impairment of life quality by implications for FAB in these patients.

Bu hastalarda korku kaçınma inançlarının değerlendirilmesinin yeti yitimini anlama ve buna bağlı yaşam kalitesindeki bozulmanın önlenmesinde rol oynayabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.anaHtar sÖZcÜkLer: Kronik bel ağrısı, Korku kaçınma tutumları, Yeti yitimi, Yaşam kalitesi

“…Some authors [11,25] have attempted to explain the exact mechanisms and factors related to chronic low back pain, and have reported that a model based on clinical signs and symptoms suggests that intensity and quality of pain are proportional to the extent of tissue injury, which eventually evolves into high levels of disability [27]. However, there is also evidence that the persistence of symptoms of pain cannot be explained by objective clinical findings; therefore, a specific approach based on a biomedical model may prove insufficient due to the complexity of factors that are related to low back pain (e.g.…”

Background: Low back pain is a significant health problem condition due to high prevalence among the general population. Emotions and physical factors are believed to play a role in chronic low back pain. Kinesiophobia is one of the most extreme forms of fear of pain due to movement or re-injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between kinesiophobia and pain intensity, disability and quality of life in people with chronic low back pain. Methods: The study included 132 individuals with chronic back pain, with ages between 18 and 65 years old. Kinesiophobia was assessed using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale with a cut-off more than 3 for inclusion in the study, disability was assessed using the Roland Morris questionnaire, quality of pain was assessed using the McGill questionnaire, and quality of life was assessed using the Quality of Life questionnaire SF-36. Results: The results are statistically significant, but with weak associations were found between kinesiophobia and pain intensity (r = 0.187), quality of pain (sensory, r = 0.266; affective, r = − 0.174; and total r = 0.275), disability (r = 0.399) and physical quality of life (emotional r = − 0.414). Conclusion: Kinesiophobia is an important outcome to assess in patients with chronic low back pain. The results suggest that correlations between kinesiophobia and disability and quality of life are statistically significant.

Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Are Associated With Disability in Older American Adults With Low Back Pain

Abstract: Physical activity FABs are independently associated with self-reported disability and overall physical health in older American adults with LBP. High FABs may warrant balance and falls assessment.
