Abstract

Kronik bel ağrısı (KBA) teorik olarak 12 hafta veya 3 aydan daha uzun süredir yaşanan bel ağrısıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kronik bel ağrısı olan farklı yaş gruplarındaki bireylerin ağrı algıları ve ağrı inançları ile semptom şiddeti arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Çalışma Aralık 2022-Mart 2023 tarihleri arasında 210 kişi ile gerçekleştirildi. Katılımcılar yaşlarına göre 3 gruba ayrıldı; 18-39, 40-56, 57-79. Kişisel bilgileri kaydetmek ve katılımcıların inançlarını, ağrı algılarını ve yaşadıkları ağrının şiddetini ölçmek için Demografik Bilgiler, Ağrı İnançları Ölçeği (AİÖ), Ağrının Merkeziliği Ölçeği (COPS) ve Sayısal Derecelendirme Ölçeği (NRS-11) anketleri kullanıldı. Yaş grupları arasındaki farkın değerlendirmesinde One-Way MANOVA yöntemi kullanıldı. NRS-11, 18-39 / 40-56 ve 18-39 / 57-79 yaş grupları arasında anlamlı farklılık gözlendi (p<0.05). Psikolojik Ağrı İnanç Ölçeği’nde 40-56 / 57-79 ve 18-39 / 57-79 yaş grupları arasında anlamlı farklılık gözlendi (p<0.05). Organik Ağrı İnanç Ölçeği 18-39 / 57-79 yaş grubunda anlamlı olarak farklı bulundu (p<0.001). Sonuç olarak, artan yaşın ağrı şiddeti ve ağrıya ilişkin inançların gücü ile doğru orantılı olduğu bulundu. Ayrıca, KBA’lı bireylerde yaş faktörünün ağrı merkezileşmesi üzerinde etkili olmadığı bulundu.

INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PAIN PERCEPTIONS AND PAIN BELIEFS AND SYMPTOM SEVERITY OF INDIVIDUALS IN DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS WITH CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN

Abstract

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is theoretically low back pain experienced for more than 12 weeks or 3 months. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between pain perceptions, beliefs and symptom severity of individuals in different age groups with CLBP. The study was conducted between December 2022 and March 2023 with 210 individuals. Participants were divided into 3 groups according to age; 18-39, 40-56, 57-79. The Demographic Information Form, Pain Beliefs Scale (PBQ), Centrality of Pain Scale (COPS) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) questionare were used to record the personal information and to measure participant’s pain beliefs pain perceptions, and the severity of pain experienced. One-Way MANOVA was used to evaluate the difference between age groups. NRS-11 was found significantly different between age groups of 18-39/40-56 and 18-39/57-79 (p<0.05). Significant difference was observed in the Psychological Pain Beliefs Scale among the age groups of 40-56/57-79 and 18-39/57-79 (p<0.05). Organic Pain Beliefs Scale was found significantly different in age group of 18-39/57-79 (p<0.001). In conclusion, increasing age was found to be directly proportional to pain intensity and the strength of pain beliefs. Also, age factor was not found to be effective on the pain centralization in individuals with CLBP.
