The main objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of lower back pain (LBP) and clarify the effect of work-related psychological factors on LBP. Nationwide survey data collected from male Korean firefighters (FIFS) were used. To identify the risk factors (work-related psychological factors such as job stress and depression) affecting LBP, the χ test and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted. The prevalence of LBP was 19.3% and was highest in the emergency medical service (31.8%) part of FF job types. Within job stress, an uncomfortable physical environment, high mental job demand and organizational injustice were associated with LBP. However, inadequate social support inversely associated with LBP. Depression and high-risk alcohol drinking were related to LBP. LBP was closely related to job stress, depression and alcohol intake. Proper interventions of psychological factors should therefore be addressed to control LBP in FIFS.
本研究的主要目的是评估下背痛（LBP）的患病率，并阐明工作相关心理因素对LBP的影响。使用了从韩国男性消防员（FIFS）收集的全国性调查数据。为了确定影响LBP的风险因素（如工作压力和抑郁等工作相关心理因素），进行了χ检验和多因素逻辑回归分析。LBP的患病率为19.3%，在FF工作类型的紧急医疗服务部分最高（31.8%）。在工作压力方面，身体环境不舒服、工作心理需求高和组织不公正与LBP相关。然而，社会支持不足与LBP呈负相关。抑郁和高危饮酒与LBP有关。LBP与工作压力、抑郁和酒精摄入密切相关。因此，应采取适当的心理因素干预措施来控制FIFS中的LBP。
