On the quantitative relationships between individual/occupational risk factors and low back pain prevalence using nonparametric approaches

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Low Back Pain among Health-care Workers in Denizli

“…[29] In another study, it was determined that occupation, daily working hours, working time by standing and sitting were determined as risk factors. [16] In Sweden, working environment with bad lighting and ventilation, maintaining the same position for a long time, load carrying and working for more than 8 hours a day were found as risk factors for low back pain among university hospital employees. [30] group and load carrying increased the frequency of low back pain.…”

“…Occupational low back pain developed as a result of exposure to factors such as heavy lifting, working by bending forwards, using the waist and body in wrong positions, and improper working conditions is a common cause of injury. [16] It is considered that the low back pain is more frequent today as a result of decreased body movements despite the spread of technology. [17] Because of this, research on low back pain frequency and risk factors has an important place in preventing low back pain.…”

“…[29] In the study where risk factors among hospital employees were evaluated with the non-parametric approach, it was witnessed that height, weight, gender and extra professional activities increased the frequency of low back pain. [16] According to Karahan et al, age, female gender and smoking habit are among risk factors. [17] İlhan et al examined the relation between age and low back pain prevalence; and they reported that low back pain was 1.95 times more in age group 25-34, 3.32 times more in age group 35-44, 3.31 times more in age group 44-55 when age group 15-24 was used as a reference.…”

The connection between exertion and the prevalence of low back pain among hospital staff

“…Navedeni rezultati kažejo na potrebo po preventivnih aktivnostih na delovnem mestu pred pojavom bolečine v križu. Mendeleka s sodelavci (12) je proučeval 14 osebnostnih dejavnikov tveganja in 17 dejavnikov tveganja pri delu za pojav bolečine v križu pri zdravstvenem osebju. Raziskava, ki je temeljila na kvantitativni anketni metodologiji, je pokazala, da so med vsemi proučevanimi dejavniki tveganja na delovnem mestu najmočneje povezani s pojavnostjo bolečine v križu status zaposlitve, število delovnih ur dnevno in število ur stoječega dela dnevno.…”

“…Prostočasna gibalna aktivnost je pogoj za razvoj tistih mišičnih struktur, ki so nujno potrebne za varno in učinkovito izvedbo zdravstvene oskrbe pacienta z vidika pacienta in z vidika zaposlenega v zdravstveni negi. Dobljeni rezultati se ujemajo z rezultati sorodnih študij, ki pravijo, da je pojav bolečine v križu pogostejši na delovnih mestih, ki zahtevajo dvigovanje težkih bremen, stoječe delo, neustrezno telesno držo, večje telesne obremenitve in na splošno več fizičnega dela (2,5,11,12,13,15,16). Navedene ugotovitve so potrdile tudi druge raziskave, ki so proučevale vlogo gibalne aktivnosti pri pojavu in obravnavi bolečine v križu na različnih populacijah.…”
