Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nonspecific low back pain on disability in home care health providers.Methods: Fifty-four health care providers with a mean age of 33.03±7.34 years were included in the study. Health care providers in hospital was referred as Group 1, health care providers in home care was referred as Group 2. The sociodemographic characteristics of the participants were questioned. Nonspecific low back pain was measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS) was used to assess functional disability associated with low back pain.Results: When the pain intensity of both groups was compared, the VAS activity and VAS night scores of Group II were higher than Group I (p<0.05). QBPDS scores were significantly higher in Group II compared to the groups (p<0.05). A moderate positive correlation was found between the VAS activity score and QBPDS disability scores (r=0.50; p=0.005).Conclusion: Nonspecific low back pain severity of health care providers at home care service is high. Particularly, the severity of the pain felt in the activity is related to disability.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, evde bakım hizmetinde görev alan sağlık çalışanlarının nonspesifik bel ağrısının özürlülüğe etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya, 24-65 yaş aralığında (33,03±7,34 yıl) 54 sağlık çalışanı dahil edildi. Hastanede görev alan sağlık çalışanları I. Gruba, evde bakım hizmetinde görev alan sağlık çalışanları II. Gruba dahil edildi. Katılımcıların sosyodemografik bilgileri sorgulandı. Nonspesifik bel ağrısını değerlendirmek için Vizüel Analog Skalası (VAS) kullanıldı. Bel ağrısıyla ilişkili özürlülüğü değerlendirmede Quebec Bel Ağrısı Özürlülük Ölçeği (QBAÖÖ) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Her iki grubun ağrı şiddeti karşılaştırıldığında Grup II’in VAS aktivite ve VAS gece skorları Grup I'den daha yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Gruplar arası QBAÖÖ skorları karşılaştırıldığında, Grup II’nin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha yüksek olduğu görüldü (p<0,05). VAS aktivite skoru ile QBAÖÖ skorları arasında orta düzeyde pozitif ilişki gösterildi (r=0,50; p=0,005). Sonuç: Evde bakım hizmetinde görev alan sağlık çalışanlarının nonspesifik bel ağrısı şiddeti yüksektir. Özellikle aktivitede hissedilen ağrı şiddeti özürlülük ile ilişkilidir.
