Quality of life in patients with lumbar spinal pain
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2014, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
In recent years, increasing attention has been drawn to the need of a holistic approach to patients. Studies involving the measurement of the quality of life and taking into consideration not only the physical, but also emotional and spiritual aspects of well-being, have been conducted with increasing intensity over the last few decades. In case of disorders as common as spinal pain syndromes, the measurement of the intensity of pain is particularly important, as these diseases are a scourge for the developing societies. The goal of this study was to present and popularize data on the quality of life. The study included 38 subjects (23 females and 15 males) complaining of lumbar spinal pains. The study group was diverse in many aspects, including age distribution. The studies revealed different levels of quality of live impairment depending on the degree of impairment as the result of the disease. Conclusions based on the survey demonstrate the need to include the quality of life in the rehabilitation process. Measurements of the quality of life provide much information on the patient, their attitude to the disease as well as the rehabilitation process.
