INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2024; 21:845. [PMID: 39063422 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph21070845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is a global health condition that affects thousands of people. CMP can substantially affect the functional capacity and quality of life of the people impacted, resulting in high costs for health care and social security systems. Sociodemographic factors may play a significant role in pain chronification prevention and control programs. Thus, current risk factors for CMP must be seriously considered as part of an interdisciplinary management strategy. The purpose of the study was to identify the primary sociodemographic characteristics of CMP patients at a multidisciplinary and specialized center for chronic pain. This is a retrospective investigation based on a review of medical records. Age, gender, income, and the time of onset of pain symptoms were among the variables included in the analyzed data. To analyze variables related to the duration of discomfort, a multiple regression model was utilized. Sociodemographic factors explained 37.94% of experiencing prolonged pain, according to the study's findings. Being female and having a family income above the minimum wage were variables that were directly proportional to discomfort duration. Age was not associated with a prolonged duration of pain perception.

[PMID: 38566113 PMCID: PMC10985854 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07387-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Musculoskeletal discomforts (MSDs) are prevalent occupational health issues that are associated with a wide range of risk factors. This study aimed to investigate some of the occupational hidden risk factors and the mediating role of sleep in work-related musculoskeletal discomforts. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, the role of job stress and shift work as two hidden risk factors and sleep problems as the mediator in work-related musculoskeletal discomforts was investigated in 302 healthcare workers using the path analysis models. For this aim, healthcare workers' Occupational Stress and musculoskeletal discomforts were evaluated using the Health and Safety Executive questionnaire and Cornell questionnaire, respectively. Moreover, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) were used to examine the sleep characteristics of participants. Shift work and job stress as predictor variables and sleep characteristics as mediating variables were analyzed. RESULTS The results showed that the path coefficients of job stress on indexes of quality sleep and insomnia severity were significant. Also, the path coefficient of shift work on quality sleep index was significant. In return, the path coefficients of shift work on the insomnia severity index were not significant. Additionally, there was a mutually significant association between indexes of quality sleep and the severity of insomnia and musculoskeletal discomforts. The direct effect coefficient of job stress on MSDs was significant, whereas the direct effect coefficient of shift work on MSDs was insignificant. This means that shift work alone does not significantly impact these disorders. CONCLUSION It would seem that shift work and job stress as two occupational hidden risk factors can mediate sleep indexes and indirectly play a critical role in the incidence of musculoskeletal discomforts. Moreover, sleep disorders and musculoskeletal discomforts are mutually related and have a bidirectional relationship.

Abstract
Aims Psychological status may be an important predictor of outcome after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of psychological distress on postoperative health-related quality of life, joint function, self-assessed pain, and sports ability in patients undergoing PAO. Methods In all, 202 consecutive patients who underwent PAO for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) at our institution from 2015 to 2017 were included and followed up at 63 months (SD 10) postoperatively. Of these, 101 with complete data sets entered final analysis. Patients were assessed by questionnaire. Psychological status was measured by Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18), health-related quality of life was raised with 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), hip functionality was measured by the short version 0f the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12), Subjective Hip Value (SHV), and Hip Disability and Outcome Score (HOS). Surgery satisfaction and pain were assessed. Dependent variables (endpoints) were postoperative quality of life (SF-36, HOS quality of life (QoL)), joint function (iHOT-12, SHV, HOS), patient satisfaction, and pain. Psychological distress was assessed by the Global Severity Index (GSI), somatization (BSI Soma), depression (BSI Depr), and anxiety (BSI Anx). Influence of psychological status was assessed by means of univariate and multiple multivariate regression analysis. Results In multiple multivariate regression, postoperative GSI, BSI Soma, and BSI Depr had a negative effect on postoperative SF-36 (e -2.07, -3.05, and -2.67, respectively; p < 0.001), iHOT-12 (e -1.35 and -4.65, respectively; p < 0.001), SHV (e -1.20 and -2.71, respectively; p < 0.001), HOS QoL (e -2.09 and -4.79, respectively; p < 0.001), HOS Function (e -1.00 and -3.94, respectively; p < 0.001), and HOS Sport (e -1.44 and -5.29, respectively; p < 0.001), and had an effect on postoperative pain (e 0.13 and 0.37, respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusion Psychological distress, depression, and somatization disorders affect health-related quality of life, perceived joint function, and sports ability. Pain perception is significantly increased by somatization. However, patient satisfaction with surgery is not affected.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted sleep quality. However, research regarding older adults' sleep quality during the pandemic has been limited. This study examined the association between socioeconomic background (SEB) and older adults' sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data on 7040 adults aged ≥50 were acquired from a COVID-19 sub-study of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). SEB was operationalized using educational attainment, previous financial situation, and concern about the future financial situation. Sociodemographic, mental health, physical health, and health behavior variables were included as covariates. Chi-squared tests and binary logistic regression were used to examine associations between SEB and sleep quality. Lower educational attainment and greater financial hardship and concerns were associated with poor sleep quality. The relationship between educational attainment and sleep quality was explained by the financial variables, while the relationship between previous financial difficulties and sleep quality was explained by physical health and health behavior variables. Greater financial concerns about the future, poor mental health, and poor physical health were independent risk factors for poor sleep quality in older adults during the pandemic. Healthcare professionals and service providers should consider these issues when supporting older patients with sleep problems and in promoting health and wellness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Pain assessments are an essential part of evidence-based care and management. Among comparable care providers, there is variation in how nurses document assessments as well as the content in them, and there is a notable associated administrative burden. AIMS This study evaluated the impact and significance of a new, structured, digitised pain assessment form from quality, safety and efficiency standpoints. METHODS Samples of pain assessments were examined at three consecutive stages: first, the pre-existing form was used, then the new structured form was introduced and, finally, the structured form was taken away and nurses went back to completing the original form. Assessments were scored by two clinical analysts against 18 clinically defined pain-related characteristics and factors. The time taken to extract and interpret the assessments was also recorded. Statistically significant changes were assessed using Welch's t-tests and Fisher's exact tests. FINDINGS There was a significant improvement in data quality using the new structured form compared with the pre-existing template, including an increase in the capture of five safety-related variables. Less time was needed to extract and interpret data with the new form. CONCLUSION Intelligent structured forms are highly effective for documenting pain assessments, and offer notable benefits in quality, safety, and efficiency.

Abstract
Objective - to study the emotional and psychic state at the patients with neurological cervical spine disorders (NCSD) and determine of the constitutional psychic human qualities influence at the it.
Methods and subjects. 87 patients (18-44 years old), who suffered from subacute and chronic NCSD, were examined by clinical-anamnestic, clinical-functional (vertebral neurological), clinical-neurological methods. Emotional and psychic state was examined by Spielberger-Hanin test and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Psychic functions of human constitution were studied by temperament type determining with using Eysenck’s EPQ questionnaire.
Results and discussion. The course of subacute and chronic cervicalgia, cervicocranialgia, cervicobrachialgia (neck and shoulder pain) was characterized depression symptoms at the melancholic temperament type (at 76% patients, р< 0,05). At the choleric temperament type depression symptoms was present meeted very often too (at 68% patients). At the sanguine temperament type depression symptoms was very rarely (at 29% patients). The peculiarities from reactive and personality anxiety were found too. It were at the melancholic and choleric patient highter significantly, than at the sanguine patients (p <0,05, p <0,01, p < 0,001). Temperament influence on the depression symptoms and anxiety confirmed by reliable correlations.
Conclusions. The emotional and psychic state at the patients with NCSD characterize as anxiety on the background of neurological symptoms of cervicalgia, cervicocranialgia, cervicobrachialgia (neck and shoulder pain). It this symptoms add with decreased performance, mood and sleep disturbances and all these complaints in the aggregate are summed up as depressive disorders, mainly of mild severity. Constitutional psychic human qualities, which included in temperament, influence on the it formation. The models of influence different temperament types on the emotional and psychic states at the patients with NCSD were represented. It points pathogenic significance of melancholic and choleric temperament types and sanogenetic qualities of sanguine type. Constitutional psychic human qualities and emotional and psychic state should be considere at the diagnostic and treatment patients with NCSD. Significance of the human constitution, emotional and psychic state for NCSD confirm by study results. It is background for following studies.

Abstract
Globally, mental and musculoskeletal disorders present with high prevalence, disease burden, and comorbidity. In order to improve the quality of care for patients with persistent physical and comorbid mental health conditions, person-centered care approaches addressing psychosocial factors are currently advocated. Central to successful person-centered care is a multidisciplinary collaboration between mental health and musculoskeletal specialists underpinned by a robust therapeutic alliance. Such a collaborative approach might be found in osteopathy, which is typically utilized to treat patients with musculoskeletal disorders but may arguably also benefit mental health outcomes. However, research and practice exploring the reputed effect of osteopathy on patients with mental health problems lack a robust framework. In this hypothesis and theory article, we build upon research from embodied cognition, predictive coding, interoception, and osteopathy to propose an embodied, predictive and interoceptive framework that underpins osteopathic person-centered care for individuals with persistent physical and comorbid mental health problems. Based on the premise that, for example, chronic pain and comorbid depression are underlined by overly precise predictions or imprecise sensory information, we hypothesize that osteopathic treatment may generate strong interoceptive prediction errors that update the generative model underpinning the experience of pain and depression. Thus, physical and mental symptoms may be reduced through active and perceptual inference. We discuss how these theoretical perspectives can inform future research into osteopathy and mental health to reduce the burden of comorbid psychological factors in patients with persistent physical symptoms and support person-centered multidisciplinary care in mental health.
