This study investigates the association between depressive symptoms and multisite pain and health-related quality of life and work ability in currently employed health care workers with recurrent low back pain (LBP).
Multisite pain, depressive symptoms, quality of life, and work ability were assessed by validated questionnaires. A generalized linear model was used for statistical analysis.
Notably, 28% of female health care workers with LBP had at least moderate levels of depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with decreased health-related quality of life and work ability. Multisite pain was not significantly associated with work ability.
Depressive symptoms are relatively common in female health care workers with LBP, and treatment of these symptoms may be crucial to improve their work ability.
本研究旨在探讨复发性腰痛（LBP）的在职医护人员中，抑郁症状与多部位疼痛以及与健康相关的生活质量和工作能力之间的关系。
通过验证性问卷评估多部位疼痛、抑郁症状、生活质量和工作能力。使用广义线性模型进行统计分析。
值得注意的是，28%的患有 LBP 的女性医护人员存在至少中度的抑郁症状。抑郁症状与健康相关的生活质量和工作能力下降显著相关。多部位疼痛与工作能力无显著相关性。
患有 LBP 的女性医护人员中抑郁症状较为常见，治疗这些症状可能对提高其工作能力至关重要。
