Tiivistelmä
This study investigates the association between depressive symptoms and multisite pain and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and work ability in currently employed health care workers with recurrent low back pain (LBP).
Methods
Multisite pain, depressive symptoms, quality of life, and work ability were assessed by validated questionnaires. A generalized linear model was used for statistical analysis.
Results
Notably, 28% of female health care workers with LBP had at least moderate levels of depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with decreased HRQoL and work ability. Multisite pain was not significantly associated with work ability.
Conclusions
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.
