Abstract

Background: Pain is an important clinical factor that limits movement and functions. Informal caregivers of stroke survivors are primarily involved in providing care and assistance and may face musculoskeletal problems. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain (MSP) and associated factors among informal caregivers of stroke survivors in northwestern Nigeria. Methods: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study performed among 218 informal caregivers of stroke survivors. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, nature of caregiving, and duration of caregiving were collected using researcher-designed data forms. A 12-month prevalence of MSP in different body regions was obtained using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data at an alpha level of 0.05. Results: The majority of the caregivers were female (60.6%) within the age range of 18 - 27 years old (50.9%) and engaged in full-time caregiving (63.8%). The overall prevalence of MSP among the caregivers was 16.5%. The most common MSP was low back pain (28%) and was found to be associated with age, gender, body mass index (BMI), marital status, educational level, occupational status, duration of caregiving, and nature of caregiving (all P

尼日利亚西北部中风幸存者非正式照护者中的肌肉骨骼疼痛和相关因素

背景:疼痛是限制运动和功能的重要临床因素。中风幸存者的非正式护理人员主要参与提供护理和援助，并可能面临肌肉骨骼问题。目的:本研究旨在确定尼日利亚西北部中风幸存者非正式护理人员中肌肉骨骼疼痛(MSP)的患病率及其相关因素。方法:这是一项基于医院的横断面研究，在218名中风幸存者的非正式护理人员中进行。使用研究者设计的数据表格收集社会人口学特征、照护性质和照护持续时间的数据。使用北欧肌肉骨骼问卷对不同身体区域MSP的12个月患病率进行了调查。采用描述统计和推理统计，alpha水平为0.05。结果:护理人员以女性居多(60.6%)，年龄在18 ~ 27岁之间(50.9%)，从事全职护理(63.8%)。护理人员中MSP的总体患病率为16.5%。最常见的MSP是腰痛(28%)，并被发现与年龄、性别、体重指数(BMI)、婚姻状况、教育水平、职业状况、护理持续时间和护理性质有关
