Health literacy and beliefs among a community cohort with and without chronic low back pain

Health literacy and beliefs among a community cohort with and without chronic low back pain
We examined the health literacy of individuals with CLBP using a mixed methods approach. One-hundred and seventeen adults, comprising 61 with no history of CLBP and 56 with CLBP (28 with low and high disability, respectively, as determined by a median split in Oswestry scores) participated. Data regarding severity of pain, LBP-related disability, fear avoidance, beliefs about LBP and pain catastrophizing were collected using questionnaires. Health literacy was measured using the Short-form Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (S-TOFHLA). A sub-sample of 36 participants with CLBP also participated in in-depth interviews to qualitatively explore their beliefs about LBP and experiences in seeking, understanding and using information related to LBP. LBP-related beliefs and behaviours, …

How little pain and disability do patients with low back pain have to experience to feel that they have recovered? Kamper SJ, Maher CG, Herbert RD, Hancock MJ, Hush JM, Smeets RJ. Eur Spine J 2010 Mar 13. [Epub ahead of print]

How little pain and disability do patients with low back pain have to experience to feel that they have recovered? Kamper SJ, Maher CG, Herbert RD, Hancock MJ, Hush JM, Smeets RJ. Eur Spine J 2010 Mar 13. [Epub ahead of print]
Epidemiological and clinical studies of people with low back pain (LBP) commonly measure the incidence of recovery. The pain numerical rating scale (NRS), scores from 0 to 10, and Roland Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ), scores from 0 to 24, are two instruments often used to define recovery. On both scales higher scores indicate greater severity. There is no consensus, however, on the cutoff scores on these scales that classify people as having recovered. The aim of this study was to determine which cutoff scores most accurately classify those who had recovered from LBP. Subjects from four clinical studies were categorized as ‘recovered’ or ‘unrecovered’ according to their self-rating on a global perceived effect scale. Odd ratios were calculated for scores of 0, 1, 2, 3 and …

Utility of the Oswestry Disability Index for studies of back pain related disability in nurses: Evaluation of psychometric and measurement properties

Utility of the Oswestry Disability Index for studies of back pain related disability in nurses: Evaluation of psychometric and measurement properties
This study investigated the psychometric and measurement properties of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) in nursing students to determine its suitability for assessing back pain related disability in intervention studies.Methods: Bachelor of Nursing students were recruited. Test–retest reliability and the ability of the ODI to discriminate between individuals with serious and non-serious back pain were investigated. The measurement error of the ODI was examined with the minimal detectable change at the 90% confidence level (MDC90).Results: Student nurses (n=214) had a low mean ODI score of 8.8±7.4%. Participants with serious back pain recorded higher scores than the rest of the cohort (p (Source: International Journal of Nursing Studies)

Microendoscopic discectomy for recurrent lumbar disc herniation*

Microendoscopic discectomy for recurrent lumbar disc herniation*
The purpose of this study is to elucidate the feasibility of microendoscopic discectomy (MED) for the treatment of recurrent lumbar disc herniation. Thirty-six patients with recurrent lumbar disc herniation were treated using MED (30 men and six women; mean age: 45.7 years, range: 26[ndash]80 years; mean follow-up: 24.4 months, range: 12[ndash]52 months; mean duration between the primary and revision surgery: 65.9 months, range: 1[ndash]320 months) (recurrent group). Sex- and age-matched patients with primary lumbar disc herniation treated by MED served as the control group (primary group). The clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score for low back pain and questionnaires regarding MED. The average Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores before surge…
