Abstract

Background: Caregivers in Japan experience a high prevalence of low back pain (LBP), with age, sex, individual pain experiences, and central sensitization symptoms potentially influencing its chronic progression.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of LBP among caregivers, as well as its relation to age and sex, and explore work status, psychological factors, and central sensitization symptoms as contributing factors to chronic LBP (CLBP).

Methods: A large-scale cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1214 caregivers in 35 geriatric healthcare facilities. The survey assessed LBP and CLBP prevalence, work status, psychological factors, and central sensitization-related symptoms. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing CLBP.

Results: Among 936 valid respondents, the LBP prevalence was 69.2%. No significant sex differences were found in the prevalence of LBP and CLBP. Old age, higher pain severity, and severe symptoms related to central sensitization increased the risk of CLBP. However, work status and psychological factors did not significantly contribute to CLBP.

Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of LBP among caregivers, age and individual pain experience significantly impact CLBP. These findings emphasize the need for therapeutic strategies to manage pain intensity, especially in the acute phase, to prevent the progression to chronicity.

日本护理人员的职业性腰背痛：大规模横断面研究

背景：在日本，护理人员的腰背痛发病率很高：在日本，护理人员的腰背痛（LBP）发病率很高，年龄、性别、个人疼痛经历和中枢敏感症状可能会影响其慢性发展：确定护理人员中腰背痛的患病率及其与年龄和性别的关系，并探讨工作状况、心理因素和中枢敏感症状是导致慢性腰背痛（CLBP）的因素：方法：对 35 家老年医疗机构的 1214 名护理人员进行了大规模横断面调查。调查评估了腰背痛和慢性腰背痛的患病率、工作状况、心理因素和中枢敏感相关症状。采用多变量逻辑回归分析来确定CLBP的影响因素：在 936 名有效受访者中，枸杞多糖症的患病率为 69.2%。枸杞多糖症和慢性枸杞多糖症的患病率无明显性别差异。高龄、疼痛严重程度较高以及与中枢敏感相关的严重症状会增加慢性腰痛的风险。然而，工作状态和心理因素对慢性腰背痛的影响不大：结论：腰背痛在护理人员中的发病率很高，年龄和个人疼痛经历对腰背痛的影响很大。这些发现强调，需要采取治疗策略来控制疼痛强度，尤其是在急性期，以防止慢性化。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present relevant information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints. It will provide readers with both 1) a general fund of knowledge on the assessment and management of specific problems and 2) new information considered to be state-of-the-art in the field. The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty. In each issue clinicians can find information which they can use in their patient setting the very next day.
