Describe work-life and demographic characteristics associated with reporting recent back pain, and estimate back pain severity among Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals.
A 58-item postal questionnaire was used to collect relevant health and wellness information from a national sample of EMS professionals. The outcome variables were self-reported pain in the back or legs, and severity of recent back pain as indicated by the Aberdeen Back Pain Scale (ABPS).
There were 470/930 (50.5%) participants who reported one or more days of pain in the back or legs over a 2-week period. The variables most strongly associated with recent back pain and pain severity were prior back problems, self-reported health, and job satisfaction.
This study indicated that work-life, health, and demographic characteristics of EMS professionals were associated with reporting recent back pain.
描述与报告近期背痛相关的工作-生活和人口统计学特征，并估计急救医疗服务（EMS）专业人员的背痛严重程度。
使用包含 58 个项目的邮政问卷从全国范围内的 EMS 专业人员样本中收集相关健康和健康状况信息。结果变量是自我报告的背部或腿部疼痛，以及阿伯丁背痛量表（ABPS）所表明的近期背痛严重程度。
在过去 2 周内，有 470/930（50.5%）名参与者报告了一天或多天的背部或腿部疼痛。与近期背痛和疼痛严重程度最密切相关的变量是先前的背部问题、自我报告的健康状况和工作满意度。
这项研究表明，EMS 专业人员的工作-生活、健康和人口统计学特征与报告近期背痛有关。
