The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between psychological distress, the severity of low-back pain and the response of 54-63-year-old male in- and outpatients to low-back treatment. The correlation between the index of psychological distress and the back pain index was statistically significant, but relatively low. In the outpatient group (n = 63) those with fewer symptoms of distress and those not employed benefited significantly more from the treatment. In the inpatient group (n = 88), such clear differences were not found. The effects of treatment for low-back pain were relatively short-lived in both groups, whilst the number of inpatients reporting a large variety of positive effects after the treatment was greater. Differences between the two types of treatment are discussed.
该研究的目的是调查心理困扰、腰痛严重程度与54至63岁男性门诊和住院患者对腰痛治疗反应之间的关系。心理困扰指数与背痛指数之间的相关性具有统计学意义，但相对较低。在门诊组（n = 63）中，困扰症状较少且未就业的患者从治疗中获益显著更多。在住院组（n = 88）中，未发现如此明显的差异。两组中腰痛治疗的效果都相对短暂，而报告治疗后有多种积极效果的住院患者数量更多。讨论了两种治疗类型之间的差异。
