“…The starting point is "0" or "No pain" and the ending point is "10" or "Unbearable pain". Pain severity was classified as 1-4 mild, 5-6 moderate, and 7 and above severe according to VAS scores [9] The ranges of vitamin D levels were defined as normal (30 to 100 ng/ml), insufficient (20 to 30ng/ml), deficient (<20ng/ml), and toxic (higher than 100ng/ml) [7].…”

Low back pain increases with age and causes a burden of serious socio-economic adverse outcomes. Gender, age, vitamin D insufficiency, and obesity are some of the factors that are considered accountable for the etiology of low back pain, however, conflicting results are present in the literature regarding their effects on low back pain. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of pain duration, pain intensity, gender, and preventable risk factors including vitamin D and body mass index (BMI), on low back pain. File registration data of 274 patients (211 females, 63 males) were included in this retrospective study. Age, gender, pain intensity, BMI, and vitamin D levels were recorded. Patients aged 60 and over were considered as the geriatric group. We observed that higher Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores were significantly associated with increased BMI (p=0.007) and advanced age (p=0.049). Duration of pain was positively correlated with, age (p<0.001) and BMI (p=0.02). There was no significant relation between VAS scores and vitamin D levels. The duration of the disease was longer in women than men (p=0.038), but no significant difference was observed for VAS scores between genders. When the study group was divided into geriatric and non-geriatric groups, disease duration was higher in the geriatric group (p<0.001), but no significant difference was observed between VAS scores. BMI, which is among the modifiable risk factors, is closely related to low back pain. The increase in both BMI and VAS scores, especially with advancing age, indicates that overweight older individuals are at high risk for low back pain.

ith the current developments in technology and various communication techniques, there has been a gradual decrease in the physical activity of young people. Therefore it is of great importance that children are encouraged to take up sport from a young age.A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : The aim of the study was to compare the body awareness and fatigue severity of adolescent athletes and sedentary individuals. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : The study was performed with 81 athletes (22 females, 59 males) licenced in 13 different sports (football, basketball, swimming, handball, wrestling, boxing, athletics, volleyball, karate, badminton, sailing, taekwando, judo) and 81 (37 females, 44 males) age-matched sedentary individuals. Sociodemographic data were recorded. The Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) and the Fatigue Severity Scale were completed by both groups and the data were compared. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : The mean age of participants was 15.27±1.23 years, mean body mass index was 21.20±2.82 in athletes, and 20.74±2.55 in sedentary individuals. No difference was determined between the athletes and the sedentary group in respect of the BAQ total score. The Changes in the Body Process and Attention to Responses (BAQ-1) scores from the BAQ subscales were better in the sedentary group than in the athletes. The fatigue severity of athletes was lower than in the sedentary group. No correlation was determined between fatigue and body awareness in either group. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : The results of this study showed that body awareness may be higher in sedentary adolescents and fatigue intensity may be less felt in athletes.K Ke ey yw wo or rd ds s: : Awareness; fatigue; adolescent; athletes Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Bu çalışmanın amacı, adölesan sporcuların ve sedanter bireylerin vücut farkındalık ve yorgunluk şiddetini karşılaştırmaktır.

Sosyodemografik veriler kaydedildi. Her iki grup tarafından Vücut Farkındalık Anketi (VFA) ve Yorgunluk Şiddeti Ölçeği dolduruldu ve veriler karşılaştırıldı.

Sporcular ve sedanter grup arasında VFA toplam puanı açısından fark saptanmadı. VFA alt ölçeklerinden Vücut Sürecindeki Değişiklikler ve Tepkilere Dikkat (VFA-1) puanı, sedanterlerde sporculara göre daha yüksekti. Sporcuların yorgunluk şiddeti sedanter gruba göre daha düşüktü. Her iki grupta da yorgunluk ve beden farkındalığı arasında ilişki saptanmadı. Sadece kadınlarda, Hastalık Başlangıcı (VFA-4) ve yorgunluk arasında bir ilişki vardı.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of biopsychosocial parameters in the early postoperative period on the satisfaction of patients. Seventy-seven patients (female/male: 61/16, age: 40.28 ± 17.67 years) who underwent arthroscopic meniscectomy (n = 43), anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (n = 25) and total knee arthroplasty (n = 9) were included in this study. The satisfaction levelwas evaluated using the Orthopedics Service Inpatient Satisfaction Survey (OTISS). In addition, the pain intensity, anxiety, depression, and independence level in daily living activities of the patients were evaluated. There was a very weak negative correlation between the anxiety and the satisfaction level with the physiotherapist and secretary ( r: −0.274, p: 0.016; r:−0.265, p: 0.020). A very weak negative correlation was found between the pain intensity at activity and satisfaction with the nurse ( r: −0.227, p: 0.048). There were very weak correlations between feeding and satisfaction with the physiotherapist ( r: 0.292, p: 0.010), secretary ( r: 0.285, p: 0.012), doctor ( r: −0.269, p: 0.018), nurse ( r: 0.300, p: 0.008) general satisfaction ( r: 0.251, p: 0.028) and OTISS total score ( r: −0.305, p: 0.007). In conclusion, the pain intensity, anxiety, and independence level in the early postoperative period were related to the satisfaction levels of patients who have undergone orthopedic knee surgery.
