The level of depressive symptoms and related factors in patients with chronic low back and neck pain
Abstract
Objective:The number of patients with back and neck pain, which we frequently encounter in neurosurgery practice, is too high to be underestimated, especially in today's conditions. Unfortunately, it is known that it causes serious labour force and economic losses as well as negatively affecting the social lives of individuals. The etiology of low back and neck pain is multifactorial and it is usual to encounter with depressive mood.
Material and Methods: The study included 76 patients presenting with low back and neck pain and 48 healthy individuals who had not undergone spinal surgery in the control group. Beck Depression Scale (BDS) was used to question the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients and whether they had a history of previous spinal surgery. The data collected for the study were recorded using SPSS 22 software and analysed in the same software.
Results: In our study, BDI scores were found to be higher in the control group in those who regularly used analgesics for pain (p<0.05). In the patient group, BDI scores were higher in smokers, those who reported irregular diet and those who had previously received psychological support (p<0.05). In addition, patients who lived in the city centre, had irregular diet and smoked had higher BDI scores compared to the control group.
Conclusion: Chronic low back and neck pain affects the functional status of individuals and may cause psychological problems such as depression. Low back and neck pain are diseases characterised by multifactorial interactions. Patients may be recommended to undergo physical and psychological examinations and psychological counselling.
