护理人员腰背疼痛与抑郁情绪的相关性研究

目的探讨护理人员腰背疼痛(low back pain,LBP)与抑郁情绪之间的相关关系。方法采用一般情况、数字疼痛量表(numerical rating scale,NRS)及Beck抑郁问卷(Beck depression inventory,BDI)对502名临床在职护理人员进行调查。按有无LBP分为LBP组和无LBP组。采用χ2检验、秩和检验及等级相关分析法分析LBP与抑郁情绪间的相关关系。结果与无LBP组比较,LBP组BDI指数明显升高。LBP发生率及疼痛程度与抑郁程度呈正相关。结论做好躯体症状和心理症状双重干预可降低护理人员LBP的发生。

Correlation between low back pain and depression of nurses

Objective To explore the correlation between low back pain and depression of nurses. Methods 502 nurses were randomly divided into two groups： one group with pains and the other without, both investigated by questionnaire involving general condition, numerical rating scale （NRS） and Beck depression inventory （BDI）. Chi-square test, rank sum test and rank correlation analysis were employed to analyze the relationship between low back pain and depression. Results BDI index of the group with low back pain was higher than that in the group without low back pain. Both incidence and degree of low back pain had the positive correlation with BDI. Conclusions The incidence and the degree of low back pain are both correlated with degree of depression. Double interferences in somatic and psychological symptoms may lower the incidence of low back pains in nurses.
