Abstract

Lower back pain is today the most common condition caused by a sedentary lifestyle. As it occurs more frequently at a younger age, this research was conducted to examine physical activity and lower back pain in students, and whether there are any correlations. The study surveyed 113 respondents using a survey questionnaire that included sociodemographic data, respondents ’attitudes about physical activity and lower back pain, and a visual analogue scale for pain assessment (VAS) and Oswestry’s Quality of Life Questionnaire. The results of the research showed a statistically significant difference in concentration during learning and sleep quality in relation to sitting for several hours and performing activities of daily living, as well as the influence of pain. Considering that the study of nursing and physiotherapy from undergraduate to graduate level was compared, a significant difference was found in the total sum of the Oswestry questionnaire between these levels (p = 0.003), while a positive correlation of mean strength was found between the results of this questionnaire (τ = 0.448) and degree of pain. Hours of sitting and physical inactivity contribute to the development of pain. Physical activity and strengthening of the abdominal and back muscles, and proper change of position leads to the prevention of pain.

久坐生活方式对腰痛及注意力不集中的影响

下背部疼痛是当今最常见的由久坐不动的生活方式引起的疾病。由于这种情况在年龄较小的学生中更常见，因此这项研究旨在研究体育锻炼和学生腰痛之间是否存在关联。该研究使用调查问卷对113名受访者进行了调查，调查问卷包括社会人口统计数据、受访者对体育活动和腰痛的态度、疼痛评估视觉模拟量表(VAS)和奥斯韦斯特生活质量问卷。研究结果显示，在学习和睡眠质量方面，与坐几个小时和进行日常生活活动以及疼痛的影响有关，在统计学上存在显著差异。比较本科和研究生阶段护理和物理治疗的研究情况，两个水平之间的Oswestry问卷总分差异有统计学意义(p = 0.003)，平均强度与疼痛程度呈正相关(τ = 0.448)。长时间坐着和缺乏身体活动会导致疼痛的发生。身体活动和加强腹部和背部肌肉，适当改变体位可以预防疼痛。
