INTRODUCTıON/AIM: Defining the physical, psycho-social effects of body awareness may help to explain the functional effects. It was aimed to examine the relationship between the body awareness level and musculoskeletal pain complaints, physical activity level, and emotional state in healthy people.
A total of 289 healthy individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 were included in the study. Body awareness level was using Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ), musculoskeletal pain complaint using The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), physical activity levels using International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-short form) and emotional status using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were assessed.
The mean age of the participants was 19.50 ± 1.55 years. The mean pain intensity was 2.48 ± 1.99. The BAQ score average was 91.87 ± 15.55. Thirty percent of the participants had a mild level and 14.9% had a moderate level of depression risk. While there was a weak positive relationship between the Disease Startup sub-dimension of BAQ and the moderate-level IPAQ score (r = 0.135, p = 0.022). Also there was a weak negative relationship between Disease Startup sub-dimension and the level of depression risk. A weak positive relationship was found between the changes in the body process and attention to subjects sub-dimension and the level of depression risk (r = 0.127, p = 0.030). There was a positive correlation between level of depression risk and pain intensity (r = 0.237, p = 0.000). Body awareness levels of individuals who had back pain in the last 1 month were higher than those who did not experience pain (p = 0.029).
The results of the study showed that physical activity positively affected body awareness level. The body awareness level was directly related to the pain associated with the musculoskeletal system and emotional state. There is a need more studies examining the relationship between body awareness and pain, physical activity and emotional status with subdimensions of the BAQ.
目的：定义身体意识的生理和心理社会影响可能有助于解释其功能影响。本研究旨在探讨身体意识水平与健康人群的肌肉骨骼疼痛主诉、身体活动水平和情绪状态之间的关系。
材料与方法：本研究共纳入 289 名 18 至 25 岁的健康个体。使用身体意识问卷（BAQ）评估身体意识水平，使用北欧肌肉骨骼问卷（NMQ）评估肌肉骨骼疼痛主诉，使用国际体力活动问卷（IPAQ-short form）评估身体活动水平，使用贝克抑郁量表（BDI）评估情绪状态。
结果：参与者的平均年龄为 19.50±1.55 岁。平均疼痛强度为 2.48±1.99。BAQ 评分平均为 91.87±15.55。30%的参与者有轻度抑郁风险，14.9%的参与者有中度抑郁风险。BAQ 的疾病启动子维度与中等水平的 IPAQ 评分之间存在弱正相关（r=0.135，p=0.022）。此外，疾病启动子维度与抑郁风险水平之间存在弱负相关。身体过程和对主体的关注维度的变化与抑郁风险水平之间存在弱正相关（r=0.127，p=0.030）。抑郁风险水平与疼痛强度之间存在正相关（r=0.237，p=0.000）。在过去 1 个月内经历过背痛的个体的身体意识水平高于未经历过疼痛的个体（p=0.029）。
结论：研究结果表明，身体活动对身体意识水平有积极影响。身体意识水平与与肌肉骨骼系统相关的疼痛和情绪状态直接相关。需要更多研究来检查 BAQ 的子维度与身体意识、疼痛、身体活动和情绪状态之间的关系。
