“…The annual LBP prevalence rates of 33%–74% estimated in Nigeria ( Bello and Bello, 2017 ) is higher than the prevalence rates of 14%–51% reported in other African countries ( Louw et al, 2007 ). The burden, however, seems to be greater among rural dwellers than urban dwellers as the prevalence rates of 40%–74% ( Omokhodion, 2002 ; Tella et al, 2013 ) found in rural Nigeria is higher than the 44% rate found in urban Nigeria ( Omokhodion, 2004 ). These figures are alarming and seem to suggest that Nigerians especially rural residents are likely to experience one of the greatest burdens of LBP ( Igwesi-Chidobe et al, 2017a ).…”

This pilot randomized clinical trial assessed the feasibility of implementing motor control exercise (MCE) and patient education (PE) program for the management of chronic low back pain (CLBP) in a low resource rural Nigerian community. Thirty patients with CLBP were recruited and randomly assigned to MCE, PE, or MCE plus PE groups. The MCE program was provided twice a week while the PE program was provided once a week all for 6 weeks. Feasibility was assessed through recruitment rate, treatment compliance, retention/dropout rate, report of adverse events, perceived helpfulness, overall satisfaction, and clinical outcome of pain (numeric pain rating scale) and functional disability (Oswestry Disability Index). Many patients were willing to participate in the study and the recruitment rate was 77%. Treatment compliance in all the three groups were >65% for supervised treatment sessions and <50% for prescribed home program. Retention rate was high and greater overall satisfaction with the interventions was reported. Compared with the baseline, all the three groups improved significantly in pain and disability (P<0.05) after 6 weeks. Pairwise comparison revealed that the MCE plus PE group was superior to the PE group for pain and to the MCE for disability (P<0.05), with large effect size. It was concluded that the designed interventions are promising and conducting a full-scale randomized clinical trial in the future is feasible to confirm the effectiveness of the interventions for the management CLBP in rural Nigeria.

“… 4 Studies in Nigeria suggest that biomechanical factors are important in the aetiology of LBP but these studies did not account for the possible influence of psychosocial factors, and did not use the valid definitions of the impact of LBP such as functional disability or work-related disability/sickness absence. 12 24–27 …”

Biopsychosocial factors associated with chronic low back pain disability in rural Nigeria: a population-based cross-sectional study

et al. 2017

IntroductionMany people in Nigeria are living with disability due to chronic low back pain (CLBP), with the greatest burden accounted for by people living in rural Nigeria. However, factors associated with disability in rural Nigeria have not yet been established. We investigated the biomechanical and psychosocial predictors of CLBP disability in a rural Nigerian population.MethodsA cross-sectional study of adults with non-specific CLBP recruited from rural communities in Enugu State, South-eastern Nigeria. Measures of self-reported and performance-based disability, pain intensity, anxiety and depression, coping strategies, social support, occupational biomechanical factors, illness perceptions and fear avoidance beliefs were collected by trained community health workers. We used univariate and multivariate analyses.Results200 individuals were recruited. Psychosocial factors were the most important factors associated with CLBP disability, and accounted for 62.5% and 49.1% of the variance in self-reported and performance-based disability, respectively. The significant predictors of self-reported disability were: illness perceptions (β=0.289; p<0.0005), pain intensity (β=0.230; p<0.0005), catastrophising (β=0.210; p=0.001), fear avoidance beliefs (β=0.198; p=0.001) and anxiety (β=0.154; p=0.023). The significant predictors of performance-based disability were: illness perceptions (β=0.366; p<0.0005), social support (β=0.290; p<0.0005), fear avoidance beliefs (β=0.189; p<0.01) and female gender (β=0.184; p<0.01). Illness concern was the most salient dimension of illness perceptions predicting self-reported and performance-based disability.ConclusionsThese results provide evidence which can be used to inform the development of interventions to reduce CLBP disability in rural Nigeria, and may have relevance in other rural African contexts.

“…Hal ini relevan dengan studi sebelumnya bahwa pekerja di pertambangan menderita sakit terutama di punggung bawah, tangan, lutut, pergelangan tangan, bahu, dan leher (Das, 2014). Masalah nyeri sendi pada petani diakibatkan posisi kerja yang tidak ergonomis dan masa istirahat dalam berkerja yang terlalu singkat (Tella, et al, 2013), karena petani bekerja dari pagi sampai malam tanpa waktu yang cukup untuk mengambil waktu istirahat akan mengakibatkan nyeri pada tulang dan sendi akibat penggunaan dan pemakaian masa otot dan tulang yang melebihi dari kapasitas kerja. Hal ini akan mengakibatkan nyeri punggung bawah setelah melebihi dari beban kerja (Gupta & Nandini, 2015).…”

Introduction:The majority of Indonesian labor force at rural area works in the agricultural sector that risk for health problems related to the interaction of farmer and environment. It is necessary to approach health care safety based on primary health care for to prevent and reduce the risks of accidents or illness. This study identifies farmer’s health problem and their factors for developing occupational health nursing model-based agricultural nursing at rural area of Jember.Methods: A cross-sectional study of 169 farmers was done to investigate sociodemographic, lifestyles, environment of living and worked, health status and health problem. Data collected by the self-administered the questionnaire, physical assessment, and blood test. The descriptive and comparative analyses include chi-square tests and logistic and multinomial regression analyses were used to assess the relationships between factors to the presence of health problems. Results: There was differences between sociodemographic, environment of living and worked and the health problems of farmers (p<0.05). Almost 37.9% of farmers is an illness. Among 28.5% of underweight and 9.5% of overweight that related to age, drink of coffee, and excess day of work. 62.6% of anemia that related to gender and smoking habit. Meanwhile, 45.2% of systolic hypertension and 35.8% diastolic hypertension that caused by worked of overload. Furthermore, 50.3% of pain on joint and bone related to age and recess of worked.Discussion: The health problems of farmers were characterized by the nutritional problem, anemia, hypertension, and pain that related to the sociodemographic environment of biologic, psychologic, and worked. An agricultural nursing model could be developed for assessment of related factors that formulated diagnoses of health problems on farmers at rural area.
