Method: In a cross sectional study self-reported questionnaires were completed by 190 nurses and physiotherapist assist Questions included work experience and history of low back pain. Frequency and intensity (1-10) of the pain were investigated. An open question was asked about the most effective therapy for them. The respondents evaluated the importance of the use of pain killers and their opinion about the efficacy of diverse treatment methods. on a 5 point scale. The Fear-Avoidance Beliefs questionnaire (FABQ) was also included. The results were evaluated by descriptive statistics. Correlations between pain intensity and beliefs about treatment efficacy were calculated.
Results: On average, the nurses have been working for 22 years and the physiotherapy assistants for 17 years. 95.2% of the respondents have already suffered from low back pain. 21% had mild pain (G1), 39,9% moderate pain (G2) and 38,8% severe pain (G3). FABQ score was significantly higher in groups who experienced higher intensity pain. (G1:=42,22, G2= 48,5, G3=83,5, p=0,011). Regarding the importance of treatment methods, FABQ was only related with the use of pain killers (p<0,01) and surgery (p=0,07). Self experienced low back pain influenced the evaluation of treatment efficacy: by. the more severe the complaints were, higher the passive treatments were scored. In addition, three major groups could be distinguished regarding the treatment preferences.
