目标. - 由于其频率和后果的职业生活，腰痛（LBP）代表了一个真实的健康保健问题。我们的研究旨在确定医院工作人员中LBP的患病率，分析医疗和职业后果，并调查与此健康问题相关的因素。- 我们对Fattouma Bourguiba教学医院的350名员工进行了调查。员工回答了一个预先制定的问卷，包括51个项目。- 累积生活患病率为57.7%。年患病率为51.1%。慢性LBP患病率为12.8%。61.9%的病例需要医疗护理。在45%的病例中进行了放射学检查。在26.1%的案例中观察到病假，在两个案例中有必要改变职业。与LBP相关的因素是年龄（P < 0.01），女性（P = 0.024），高BMI（P = 0.01），已婚或离婚的事实（P < 0.01），吸烟（P = 0.016），既往LBP病史（P < 0.0001）、额外职业活动（P < 0.01）、偏头痛（P < 0.001）、工作年限（P = 0.007）和举重（P = 0.008）。运动是LBP的保护因素（P = 0.019）。- LBP在医院工作人员中的流行以及社会职业缺陷是重要的。许多因素与LBP有关，敦促医疗团队采取一些预防措施来减少这种痛苦。(c)2004年，Elsevier SAS。All rights reserved.
Objectives. - Because of its frequency and consequences on professional life, low back pain (LBP) represents a real health care problem. Our study is aimed at determining the prevalence of LBP among hospital staff, analyzing the medical and professional consequences as well as investigating into the factors associated to this health problem.Methods. - We have conducted an inquiry among 350 employees at Fattouma Bourguiba teaching hospital. The employees have answered a pre-established questionnaire including 51 items.Results. - The cumulative life-prevalence was 57.7% of the cases. The annual prevalence was 51.1% of the cases. Chronic LBP prevalence was 12.8% of the cases. Medical care was required in 61.9% of the cases. Radiological explorations were performed in 45% of the cases. Sick leave was observed in 26.1% of the cases and an occupational change was necessary in two cases. Factors associated to LBP were age (P < 0.01), female gender (P = 0.024), high BMI (P = 0.01), the fact of being married or divorced (P < 0.01), smoking (P = 0.016), past medical LBP history (P < 0.0001), extra professional activity (P < 0.01), migraine (P < 0.001), years' service (P = 0.007) as well as heavy weight lifting (P = 0.008). Exercise is rather a protecting factor against LBP (P = 0.019).Conclusion. - The prevalence of LBP among hospital staff as well as the socio-professional drawbacks is important. Many factors are associated to LBP urging medical teams to take some preventive measures to reduce this affliction. (c) 2004 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
