Abstract

Giriş: Bu çalışma;
Eğitim ve Araştırma hastanesi Fizik Tedavi Ünitesine başvuran hastalarda, bel
ağrısı ve etkileyen faktörleri araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır.

Yöntem: Bu araştırma
eğitim ve araştırma hastanesi fizik tedavi ve rehabilatasyon ünitesine başvuran
ve çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılmayı kabul eden, bel ağrısı olan 102 hastada
yapılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak; gerekli literatür taraması
sonucunda araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan ve 23 sorudan oluşan anket formu
uygulanmıştır. Veriler SPSS paket istatistik programına kaydedilmiş olup,
karşılaştırmalarda p<0,05 istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edilmiştir.

Bulgular: Araştırma
kapsamına alınan katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 46,7±14,4 yıldır. Meslek
grupları içerisinde bel ağrısı en fazla ev hanımlarında görülmekteydi. Bel
ağrısı olanların %57,8’i fazla kilolu veya obezdi. Bel ağrısı olanların %73,5’i
uzun süreli ayakta kalmaya %68,6’sı ise ağır yük kaldırmaya maruz kalmaktaydı.
Hastaların %29,4’nün annesinde olmak üzere %69,6’sının ailesinde bel ağrısı
vardı. %70,6’sı belinin ağrısı için bir ilaç tedavisi almıştı. İlaç tedavisi
alanların bel ağrısı sıklığı, almayanlara göre daha fazlaydı (p<0,05). Bir
yılda 11 kez ve daha fazla bel ağrısı çeken kişilerde sigara içme oranı %66,7
iken, sigara içmeyenlerde bu oran %35,7 bulundu (p<0,05). Beden kitle
indeksi arttıkça bel ağrısı sıklığı artmasına rağmen, bu artış anlamlı değildi
(p>0,05).







Sonuç: Bel ağrısı
şikâyeti ile başvuran hastalar daha çok ağır yük kaldırdıklarını veya uzun süre
ayakta kaldıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Sigara kullanımı da bel ağrısını
artırmaktadır. Bel ağrısı olanların ailesinde de aynı şikâyet bulunmaktadır.
Risk faktörlerini azaltmaya yönelik önlemlerin alınması, günlük yaşam
aktivitelerini engelleyen bel ağrısı sıklığının bir ölçüde azaltacaktır.

Examination of the patients applying to the physical therapy unit of a hospital due to low back pain

Year 2018, Volume: 3 Issue: 3, 127 - 132, 04.10.2018

Abstract

Introduction: This study
analyzes factors influencing low back pain in patients admitted to the physiotherapy
unit of an education and research hospital.

Methods: The study
sample included 102 patients who applied to the physiotherapy unit and
volunteered to join the study. The data were collected using a 23-items
questionnaire created by the authors based on a review of the literature. The
data were entered into the SPSS Program For comparisons, p values below 0.05
were deemed to be statistically significant.

Results: The mean
age of the participants was 46.7±14.4 years. By occupation, low back pain was
most common among housewives. Of the patients who suffered from lower back
pain, 57.8% were overweight or obese. Of those experiencing lower back pain,
73.5% were standing for long time periods, and 67.6% were lifting heavy loads.
Of the patients, 69.6% had lower back pain in their families, and 29.4% of the
family members with lower back pain were their mothers.

Of the patients, 70.6% received drug therapy for the pain. The frequency
of low back pain among patients who did not receive drug therapy was higher
than that of the patients who received pain medications (p<0.05). Of the
patients who had low back pain attacks 11 times or more in a year, the
percentage of smokers was 66.7%, while this rate was 35.7% among nonsmokers
(p<0.05). The increase in low back pain with body mass index was not
statistically significant (p>0.05).









Conclusion: Patients
applied to the hospital due to low back pain report lifting heavy loads or
prolonged standing. Smoking increases the frequency of low back pain. Patients
with low back pain also tend to have family members with the condition. With
appropriate measures to reduce risk factors, the frequency of low back pain,
which hinders daily life activities, can be reduced.
