Marital adjustment, psychological distress, health attitudes and prevalence of musculoskeletal pain symptoms were studied and compared between 63 chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients and their spouses. The CLBP patients experienced somatization significantly more than their spouses, while other psychological distress scores did not reveal statistically significant differences between the couples. The CLBP patients experienced significantly more feelings of guilt at having pain than their spouses. The patients experienced significantly more internal control, while their spouses experienced more external locus control of health. The female spouses had had significantly more musculoskeletal pain symptoms in neck and shoulders during the past week than the male spouses. The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain symptoms in the CLBP patients did not differ significantly between sexes. The results of this study are compared to population studies where the same methods have been used.
对63名慢性下腰痛（CLBP）患者及其配偶的婚姻适应、心理困扰、健康态度和肌肉骨骼疼痛症状的患病率进行了研究和比较。CLBP患者的躯体化症状明显多于其配偶，而其他心理困扰得分在夫妻之间未显示出统计学上的显著差异。CLBP患者因疼痛而产生的内疚感明显多于其配偶。患者体验到更多的内控感，而其配偶则体验到更多对健康的外控感。在过去一周内，女性配偶的颈部和肩部肌肉骨骼疼痛症状明显多于男性配偶。CLBP患者中肌肉骨骼疼痛症状的患病率在性别之间没有显著差异。本研究的结果与采用相同方法的人群研究结果进行了比较。
