To investigate the point prevalence of upper back pain and lower back pain in Jordanian schoolteachers and to estimate the work-related reported disability.
A cross-sectional survey was used to assess back pain in a convenience sample of teachers in Jordan. Crude and weighted prevalence estimates of self-reported spinal pain and limited productivity were described. Demographic and occupational factors associated with self-reported pain and limited productivity were identified by multinomial/logistic regression.
Crude rates differed by gender, geographic location, school funding and grade levels of teaching. Weighted estimates for self-reported pain were 46% for females and 36% for males. Pain with limitation was 55% for males and 49% for females. Pain without limitation was associated with female gender (odds ratio [OR] = 5.26). Pain with limitations was associated with female gender (OR = 2.92), teaching in public school (OR = 2.06) and body mass index (OR = 1.1). Among subjects with pain, limitations were associated with male gender (OR = 2.34), teaching in public school (OR = 3.18) and pain in both upper and lower back (OR = 4.64).
Pain and occupational limitations are highly prevalent in schoolteachers in Jordan.
调查约旦学校教师中上背部疼痛和下背部疼痛的现患率，并估计与工作相关的报告残疾情况。
采用横断面调查评估约旦教师便利样本中的背痛情况。描述了自我报告的脊柱疼痛和生产力受限的粗患病率和加权患病率估计值。通过多项/逻辑回归确定与自我报告的疼痛和生产力受限相关的人口统计学和职业因素。
粗发病率因性别、地理位置、学校资金和教学年级水平而异。自我报告疼痛的加权估计值女性为46%，男性为36%。有疼痛且活动受限的男性为55%，女性为49%。无活动受限的疼痛与女性性别相关（优势比[OR]=5.26）。有活动受限的疼痛与女性性别（OR=2.92）、在公立学校教学（OR=2.06）和体重指数（OR=1.1）相关。在有疼痛的受试者中，活动受限与男性性别（OR=2.34）、在公立学校教学（OR=3.18）以及上背部和下背部均疼痛（OR=4.64）相关。
疼痛和职业受限在约旦学校教师中非常普遍。
