Abstract

Aims: We do not know if patients find the coordinated treatment of comorbid obesity and low back pain acceptable in clinical practice. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate patient-level interest in a combined back pain and obesity specialty treatment clinic.

Methods: A survey was sent to patients over 18 with a diagnosis of back pain and a BMI over 30 through their electronic medical records. Statistical analysis was carried out to examine the role of weight and pain stigma in mediating beliefs about weight and back pain on interest in a combined clinic.

Results: 1290 people responded. Respondents reported moderate levels of experienced stigma relating to pain (9.4 ± 6.6) using the 32-point Stigma Scale for Chronic Illness and obesity (3.5 ± 1.1) using the 6-point Weight Bias Internalization Scale. Respondents expressed a moderate belief that back pain and weight were related (70.8% ± 21.7). Most patients (69.2%) were interested in a joint clinic.

Conclusions: In a target population of patients with obesity and back pain, a combined clinic treatment plan is desirable. These results support the need to explore the feasibility and sustainability of innovative, combined, holistic care clinics to treat people with obesity and back pain.

农村人群合并肥胖和背痛的可接受性:一项中介分析。
目的:我们不知道患者在临床实践中是否认为合并肥胖和腰痛的协调治疗是可以接受的。本研究的主要目的是评估患者对背痛和肥胖联合专科治疗诊所的兴趣。方法:通过电子病历对18岁以上诊断为背痛且BMI超过30的患者进行调查。统计分析进行了检验的作用,体重和疼痛的耻辱在中介信念的体重和背部疼痛的兴趣在一个联合诊所。结果:1290人回复。受访者报告了与疼痛相关的中等程度的耻辱感(9.4±6.6),使用32分慢性病耻辱感量表和肥胖(3.5±1.1),使用6分体重偏见内化量表。受访者中等程度地认为背痛与体重有关(70.8%±21.7)。大多数患者(69.2%)对联合门诊感兴趣。结论:在肥胖和背痛患者的目标人群中,联合临床治疗计划是可取的。这些结果支持了探索创新、综合、整体护理诊所治疗肥胖和背痛患者的可行性和可持续性的必要性。
