The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and features of low back pain (LBP) among stroke caregivers.
Participants included 64 caregivers of stroke survivors in our inpatient clinic. Age, gender, body weight, FIMTM, and Brunnstrom Scale of patients and low back pain history, Short Form-36 (SF-36), Beck Depression Measure (BDM), and Oswestry Disability Scale (ODS) of caregivers were reported. Descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, and Mann-Whitney U test were used.
Fifty-three (82.8 %) of caregivers had LBP. Stroke survivors of caregivers with LBP (group 1) had significantly lower FIMTM scores when compared with stroke survivors of caregivers without LBP (group 2) (P < .05). All SF-36 subscores and total score of group 1 except mental health were significantly lower than SF-36 scores of group 2.
The lifetime, 12-month period, and point prevalence of LBP were 44.1%, 34.0%, and 19.7%, respectively, in our country. Caregivers had a higher frequency of LBP in this study. However it was a study with a small number of participants. There are many studies about stroke caregivers' depression and life quality. LBP should also be investigated.
本研究旨在确定脑卒中照顾者腰痛（LBP）的发生频率和特征。
参与者包括我院门诊 64 名脑卒中幸存者的照顾者。记录了参与者的年龄、性别、体重、FIMTM、Brunnstrom 量表、低腰痛病史、SF-36 简表、贝克抑郁量表（BDM）和 Oswestry 残疾量表（ODS）。采用描述性统计、Spearman 相关分析和 Mann-Whitney U 检验。
53 名（82.8%）照顾者有腰痛。与无腰痛的照顾者（组 2）相比，有腰痛的照顾者（组 1）的脑卒中幸存者的 FIMTM 评分明显较低（P <.05）。组 1 的所有 SF-36 子量表和总分除心理健康外均明显低于组 2 的 SF-36 评分。
在我国，腰痛的终生、12 个月和现患率分别为 44.1%、34.0%和 19.7%。在本研究中，照顾者腰痛的频率更高。但这是一项样本量较小的研究。有许多关于脑卒中照顾者抑郁和生活质量的研究。也应该对 LBP 进行调查。
