Many cross-sectional studies have examined the predictors of neck pain among adolescents and working-age populations, but there are limited studies included undergraduate students.
To investigate the predictors of neck disability among undergraduate students.
A cross-sectional study using a self-administered online survey. Students completed the survey that included socio-demographic factors, academic-related factors, health and lifestyle factors, and standardized questionnaires including Neck Disability Index (NDI), 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Students who reported an NDI score higher than 15 were considered as having a neck disability. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify the significant predictors of neck disability.
Of all students (n = 1292), 20.8% reported neck disability. Among all possible predictors, students' major satisfaction (OR 1.46 [95% CI 1.06-2.01]; p = 0.019), DASS-21 anxiety score (OR 1.06 [95% CI 1.03-1.09]; p < 0.001), SF-12 total score (OR 0.89 [95% CI 0.86-92]; p < 0.001), and PSQI score (OR 1.21 [95% CI 1.15-1.28]; p < 0.001) were the only significant predictors of neck disability.
Increased levels of academic stressors and anxiety, and decreased levels of quality of life and sleep quality are associated with increased neck disability among undergraduate students.
许多横断面研究已经研究了青少年和工作年龄段人群中颈部疼痛的预测因素，但纳入本科生的研究有限。
调查本科生颈部残疾的预测因素。
使用横断面研究，采用自我管理的在线调查。学生完成了包括社会人口统计学因素、与学业相关的因素、健康和生活方式因素以及标准化问卷在内的调查，包括颈部残疾指数（NDI）、12 项简短健康调查（SF-12）、抑郁焦虑压力量表（DASS-21）和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）。报告 NDI 评分高于 15 的学生被认为患有颈部残疾。使用多变量逻辑回归模型确定颈部残疾的显著预测因素。
在所有学生（n = 1292）中，20.8%报告颈部残疾。在所有可能的预测因素中，学生对专业的满意度（OR 1.46 [95% CI 1.06-2.01]；p = 0.019）、DASS-21 焦虑评分（OR 1.06 [95% CI 1.03-1.09]；p < 0.001）、SF-12 总分（OR 0.89 [95% CI 0.86-92]；p < 0.001）和 PSQI 评分（OR 1.21 [95% CI 1.15-1.28]；p < 0.001）是颈部残疾的唯一显著预测因素。
学业压力和焦虑水平升高，生活质量和睡眠质量下降与本科生颈部残疾增加有关。
