Back Education

Persistence of symptoms of low back pains and pelvic girdle pains are frequent complaints after pregnancy. Knowledge of back pain prevention and back education is essential for prevention and relief of persistence pains after delivery. The aim is to determine the factors that are associated with persistence of low back/girdle pains after pregnancy, the severity of the pains and measures undertaken by the patients for alleviation of this chronic condition. The study was a cross sectional survey. Ethics approval was obtained from Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital Ethics Committee. Information such as socio demographic characteristics of the clients, persistence and severity of low back pains/pelvic girdle pains after pregnancy and associated risk factors, was asked and documented on a questionnaire. Consecutive, consenting clients were recruited for the survey. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS Version 19. Qualitative data were summarized using frequencies and percentages. χ2 and Fishers’ Exact tests were used, where appropriate, for categorical data. A P value of ≤0.05 was considered significant. During the period, 51 patients with chronic back/pelvic girdle pains or both were recruited. Their mean age (±SD) was 30.9±5.62 years. Bed rest was the most means of relief of low back/pelvic girdle pains. Variables such as advancing age, ethnic group, high parity, educational status and obesity were found to be present and high among patients with persistence of low back/pelvic girdle pains. However, only their employment status was found to be associated with the severity of their pains (χ2 =11.443, P=0.001). The survey showed only employment status was statistically associated with severity of the low back/pelvic girdle pains (χ2 =11.443, P=0.001). Other variables were not associated. There was low knowledge of back pain prevention and back education among the study group.

Low back pain (LBP) is a leading contributor to musculoskeletal injury worldwide and carries a high economic cost. The healthcare industry is the most burdened, with nurses, in particular, being highly prone to LBP. Wearable technologies have the potential to address the challenges of monitoring postures that contribute to LBP and increase self-awareness of workplace postures and movements. We aimed to gain insight into workers’ perceptions of LBP and whether they would consider using wearable monitoring technologies to reduce injury risks. We conducted a cross-sectional survey to gather information from a selected population of nurses. Sixty-four participants completed the survey, and data were analyzed with the support of Machine Learning techniques. Findings from this study indicate that the surveyed population (64 nurses) is interested in these new approaches to monitor movement and posture in the workplace. This technology can potentially change the way ergonomic guidelines are implemented in this population.

<p>Upaya perlindungan pada pekerja pembuat tusuk sate terhadap risiko bahaya Kecelakaan Akibat Kerja (KAK) dan Penyakit Akibat Kerja (PAK) seperti <em>Low Back Pain </em>(LBP) merupakan kebutuhan yang mendasar. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor- faktor yang berhubungan dengan keluhan LBP pada pekerja pembuat tusuk sate di Desa  Dago Kecamatan Parungpanjang Kabupaten Bogor. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain <em>cross-sectional, </em>populasi 37 pekerja dengan metode sampling jenuh yaitu semua anggota populasi digunakan sebagai sample. Instrumen penelitian yaitu kuesioner, alat timbangan dan <em>microtoise </em>(alat mengukur tinggi badan)<em>. </em>Cara analisis data menggunakan analisa univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji <em>chi square. </em>Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara usia (<em>P Value </em>0,384), IMT (<em>P Value </em>0,603), kebiasaan merokok (<em>P Value </em>0,773), aktivitas fisik (<em>P Value </em>0,211) dan faktor pekerjaan (<em>P Value </em>0,410) dengan keluhan <em>Low Back Pain </em>(LBP). Sedangkan masa kerja (<em>P Value </em>0,037) dengan keluhan <em>Low Back Pain </em>(LBP) terdapat hubungan yang signifikan. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah pekerja yang masa kerja ≥ 5 tahun memiliki risiko mengalami <em>Low Back Pain </em>(LBP) dibandingkan dengan pekerja yang memiliki masa kerja ≤ 5 tahun. Disarankan agar adanya edukasi terkait penyakit akibat kerja seperti ergonomi dalam sektor informal khususnya pada pekerja pembuat tusuk sate.</p>

We assessed the attitudes of Canadian obstetricians toward chiropractic with a 38-item cross-sectional survey. Ninety-one obstetricians completed the survey, for a response rate of 14% (91 of 659). Overall, 30% of respondents held positive views toward chiropractic, 37% were neutral, and 33% reported negative views. Most (77%) reported that chiropractic care was effective for some musculoskeletal complaints, but 74% disagreed that chiropractic had a role in treatment of non-musculoskeletal conditions. Forty percent of respondents referred at least some patients for chiropractic care each year, and 56% were interested in learning more about chiropractic care. Written comments from respondents revealed concerns regarding safety of spinal manipulation and variability among chiropractors. Canadian obstetricians’ attitudes toward chiropractic are diverse and referrals to chiropractic care for their patients who suffer from pregnancy-related low back pain are limited. Improved interprofessional relations may help optimize care of pregnant patients suffering from low back pain.

The study aimed to gain knowledge about low back pain (LBP) in nurses working in the orthopedic departments of tertiary hospitals in Sichuan province, China. We used a cross-sectional survey to examine the prevalence of LBP among 797 inpatient nurses who had worked for 1 year in an orthopedic department in one of 29 hospitals (Grade 3A) in Sichuan province. The survey included a questionnaire to determine the prevalence of LBP and factors related to LBP, a screening graph of LBP symptoms, the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), and the Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) for LBP. The 1-year period prevalence of LBP in the nursing population was 66.8% and the point prevalence was 51.3%. Among the 523 nurses who had experienced LBP, the mean total number of days that LBP had been experienced during the past year was 20.2 ± 16.3 days (range = 1-90 days). The annual number of episodes of LBP was 5.7 ± 4.5 times/year (range = 1-20 times/year). More than half the orthopedic nurses (51.1%) planned to quit, and 5.8% thought of leaving their job due to LBP. These study findings indicate that nurses in this region experience a burden of LBP similar to those in other regions in the world.

Low back pain (NPB) is a pain that is felt in the lumbar or lumbosacral areas can be either local pain, radicular pain, or both, and is not a diagnosis of the disease. Almost all populations experience NPB so that it becomes a common health problem in the world. Half of the workers are thought to have experienced NPB. According to the initial survey, more than two-thirds of taxi X drivers experienced NPB. This type of study was quantitative observational with a cross-sectional design, the amount of sample was 43 respondents. The study aimed to determine the relationship between the length of work with the incidence of lower back pain (NPB) of taxi X drivers Pekanbaru. Data analysis was used univariate and bivariate analysis by Chi-square test. The results obtained p-value = 0.008 and PR = 2.917 (95% CI = 1.462-5.819) which means there was a relationship between the length of work with NPB on taxi drivers X Pekanbaru. Taxi drivers who have worked > 8 hours have a risk of 2,917 times more likely to experience NPB compared to those who have worked ≤ 8 hours. The conclusion of the study there was a relationship between the length of work with the NPB on taxi drivers X Pekanbaru which was a risk factor.
