Low back pain can be defined as pain below the ribs and above the upper gluteal line.
The study aimed to analyze low back pain in professionals from beauty salons in the city of Fortaleza, state of Ceará.
Descriptive, quantitative-qualitative, transversal, non-probabilistic research in the snowball modality, conducted between June and August 2021 in the José Walter neighborhood. Two sociodemographic questionnaires and the Quebec Back Pain Disability scale were applied, which seeks to assess how pain affects the participants' daily lives.
Forty-two professionals were interviewed, of which 32 women (76.2%), with a mean age of 39.45 ± 10.99 years. Women were more likely to have an onset of low back pain and to live with pain for a longer time compared to men, in addition to these professionals having a significant overload for the hours worked. 52% of respondents showed significant clinical changes, mainly in relation to stand up for 20-30 minutes (16.7%), sit in a chair for several hours (14.3%), walk several kilometers (19%), carry two bags with groceries (14.3%) and lift and carry a heavy suitcase (28.6%).
It was evidenced that low back pain may be related to personal or environmental factors, with a sedentary lifestyle, length of service and working hours as strong indications for the onset of low back pain, with impairment in daily tasks.
下背痛可定义为肋骨以下、上臀线以上的疼痛。
本研究旨在分析塞阿拉州福塔莱萨市美容院专业人员的下背痛情况。
2021年6月至8月在若泽·沃尔特社区采用雪球抽样方式进行描述性、定量定性、横断面、非概率研究。应用了两份社会人口学调查问卷和魁北克背痛残疾量表，该量表旨在评估疼痛如何影响参与者的日常生活。
共采访了42名专业人员，其中32名女性（76.2%），平均年龄为39.45±10.99岁。与男性相比，女性更易出现下背痛且疼痛持续时间更长，此外这些专业人员工作时长存在显著超负荷情况。52%的受访者表现出明显的临床变化，主要涉及站立20 - 30分钟（16.7%）、在椅子上坐几个小时（14.3%）、步行几公里（19%）、提两袋食品杂货（14.3%）以及提起并搬运一个沉重的行李箱（28.6%）。
有证据表明下背痛可能与个人或环境因素有关，久坐的生活方式、工作年限和工作时长是下背痛发作的强烈指征，且会影响日常任务。
