The purpose of this study was to describe the association between psychosocial factors in patients with work-related neck or low back pain (n = 129), in order to study sickness leave, its duration, the disability reported, and to analyze the relationship of these factors with different sociodemographic variables. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Data on kinesiophobia, catastrophizing, disability, and pain were gathered. Sociodemographic variables analyzed included sex, age, occupational, and educational level. Other data such as location of pain, sick leave status and duration of sickness absence were also collected. Educational level (p = 0.001), occupational level (p < 0.001), and kinesiophobia (p < 0.001) were found to be associated with sickness leave; kinesiophobia (b = 1.47, p = 0.002, r = 0.35) and catastrophizing (b = 0.72, p = 0.012, r = 0.28) were associated with the duration of sickness leave. Educational level (p =0.021), kinesiophobia (b = 1.69, p < 0.000, r = 0.505), catastrophizing (b = 0.76, p < 0.000, r = 0.372), and intensity of pain (b = 4.36, p < 0.000, r = 0.334) were associated with the degree of disability. In the context of occupational insurance providers, educational and occupational factors, as well as kinesiophobia and catastrophizing, may have an influence on sickness leave, its duration and the degree of disability reported.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a common cause of disability worldwide. Healthcare workers are particularly prone to it because of the physical and emotional factors associated with their profession.Objectives: To determine the prevalence, perception and correlates of LBP among healthcare workers in tertiary health institutions in Sokoto, Nigeria.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 320 healthcare workers selected by multistage sampling technique from July to September 2016. Anthropometry was done for the participants in addition to questionnaire administration.Results: The mean age of the study participants was 36.99 +/- 8.23 years. The lifetime, annual, and point prevalence of LBP among the participants were 56.2%, 39.1% and 17.2% respectively. Most, 151 (83.9%) of the 180 participants that have ever experienced LBP reported that it commenced after starting work, and they perceived it to be due to standing for long hours (57.2%), awkward postures (22.2%) and carrying heavy objects/patients at work (20.6%). Older age, female sex, longer duration of practice, overweight/obesity, and lifting heavy objects/patients at work were significantly associated with LBP among the participants.Conclusion: The prevalence of LBP is high among healthcare workers in Sokoto, Nigeria; although it was also associated with older age and female sex, being in practice for 10 years and above, overweight/obesity, and lifting heavy objects/patients at work were the predictors identified. Management of the respective hospitals should prevent workplace exposures to heavy weight/objects by establishing “lift teams” as a temporary measure, and also implement “zero lift programs” in their facilities.Funding: NilKeywords: Prevalence, perception, correlates, low back pain, healthcare workers.

Pain Distribution

Purpose: Different assessment strategies for radiating low back pain (LBP) abound across and within primary-contact disciplines yet physical diagnosis of the involved faulty anatomical structures remain difficult. This study investigated pattern of pain distribution in patients with gluteal-related low back pain. Methods: The study involved forty (40) participants with radiating low back pain who were referred for physiotherapy from two major referral clinical settings in Ghana. They were recruited into the cross-sectional survey through consecutive sampling technique. Using marker and transparent tracing sheet, gluteal triangle was outlined from the lumbar region, the involved gluteal region and the posterior part of the involved thigh. Pattern of pain distribution was noted and physically correlated with stereotype patterns of pressure points as gold standard. Data analysis involved mean, frequency distribution, percentage distributions and z-score. Alpha value was considered significant at p < 0.05. Results: The mean ages, year (SD) were 52.0 years (12.0) and 48 years (15) for male and female, respectively. Myofascial and piriformis syndromes were the most predominant presentations among the patients recording 13 (32.5%) and 10 (25%), respectively. Male group recorded 9 (22.5%) of pain originating from myofascial syndrome compared to 4 (10%) assessed in their female counterparts. There was no gender difference in the proportion of pattern of pain distribution among the participants. Conclusion: This study demonstrated different patterns of pain distribution and was found to be consistent with gold standard pressure point in the assessment of patients with radiating LBP, thus it can be included as complimentary diagnostic tool in clinical practice.
