Abstract

Nigeria has been reported as having the highest prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in Africa. Despite this, sexual disability among people with LBP in Nigeria is sparsely reported. To examine the prevalence of sexual disability and its relationship with pain intensity, quality of life and psychological distress among individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) in Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional study of individuals with CLBP was conducted. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain intensity while sexual disability was assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index domain 8 (ODI-8). Quality of life was assessed using the Short-form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire and the 42-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-42) was used to measure psychological distress. A total of 375 participants (mean age = 41.4 years, SD = 5.67) with CLBP participated in the study. The majority of the participants have a sexual disability (357, 95.2%), with 33.1% (124) of them reporting that their sex life was severely restricted by pain and 17.9% (67) reporting that pain prevents any sex life at all. Females have a lower quality of life and higher levels of sexual disability, pain, and psychological distress than males (p < 0.05). Sexual disability was strongly correlated with pain intensity, quality of life, and psychological distress (p < 0.05).The findings of this study indicate that there was a high prevalence of sexual disability among individuals with CLBP in Nigeria and this was strongly correlated with pain, quality of life and psychological distress.

尼日利亚慢性腰背痛患者的性功能障碍发生率及其与疼痛强度、生活质量和心理压力的关系:横断面研究
据报道,尼日利亚是非洲腰背痛(LBP)发病率最高的国家。尽管如此,关于尼日利亚腰背痛患者中性功能障碍的报道却很少。目的:研究尼日利亚慢性腰背痛(CLBP)患者中性功能障碍的发生率及其与疼痛强度、生活质量和心理困扰的关系。我们对慢性腰背痛患者进行了一项描述性横断面研究。研究使用视觉模拟量表(VAS)评估疼痛强度,使用奥斯韦特里残疾指数第 8 领域(ODI-8)评估性残疾。生活质量采用简式健康调查(SF-36)问卷进行评估,42 项抑郁、焦虑和压力量表(DASS-42)用于测量心理压力。共有 375 名慢性前列腺炎患者(平均年龄为 41.4 岁,SD=5.67)参与了研究。大多数参与者有性功能障碍(357 人,95.2%),其中 33.1%(124 人)表示他们的性生活受到疼痛的严重限制,17.9%(67 人)表示疼痛完全妨碍了他们的性生活。与男性相比,女性的生活质量更低,性残疾、疼痛和心理困扰的程度更高(p < 0.05)。性残疾与疼痛强度、生活质量和心理压力密切相关(p < 0.05)。这项研究的结果表明,尼日利亚的慢性前列腺炎患者中性残疾的发生率很高,而且与疼痛、生活质量和心理压力密切相关。
