Lack of positive results from many of the health-education programmes for patients with low-back pain (LBP) is possibly due to the type of health information that may have been presented and the method that had been used. The present study sought to explore health-education needs among individuals with LBP. A qualitative approach that utilised in-depth interviews and a focus-group discussion was used. Data was drawn from ten participants attending physiotherapy treatment due to a non-specific LBP at the Nairobi Hospital Rehabilitation Unit, using purposive sampling. A thematic analysis procedure was used to analyse the data.  The study found the participants’ health education needs to be incongruent with the medical professionals’ assumptions of what the patients’ health education needs were. Deficiencies in explanation of the cause, diagnosis, prognosis, and the appropriate use of health services were found. The findings suggest that a more encompassing model of health education was believed to be more fitting. Since the findings indicate that the individuals with LBP require health education on various aspects, a Rehabilitative Model of health education was probably more pertinent to the individuals. That way, a more encompassing, all-inclusive model of health education would cover on the aspects that were currently neglected.

Occupational Low Back Pain

A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence as well as the determinants and clinical features of occupational low back pain among surgeons working at Ministry of Health hospitals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia by exploring its history combined with time of onset after starting the operating room work and self-appraisal of the relationship with the surgical work. Factors and predictors such as professional, socio-demographic and lifestyle factors, medical history, etc. were collected and analyzed. Two hundred and sixteen surgeons (69.9% males, mean age 39.03 years, median work: 5.00 years) responded. Prevalence of occupational low back pain was 55.8% (95% CI: 49.0%, 62.3%); high rates of inadequate management and self-treatment had a notable impact on all 4 domains. Multivariate regression showed two independent protective factors (regular physical exercise [OR = 0.27, P = 0.002] and back health education [OR = 0.41, P = 0.031] and two independent risk factors (high exposure to risky activities [OR = 1.06, P = 0.048] and presence of chronic pain other than back pain [OR = 2.59, P = 0.012]). More than one in two surgeons are likely to suffer from occupational low back pain. The protective roles of regular physical activity and back health education are highlighted

Before And After

Background : Regular health checks and good exercise can maintain the health of the elderly so that there is no drastic decline. Routine health checks aim to control the health of the elderly on a regular basis so that they can find out what is happening. The obstacles encountered in the partner groups are the lack of awareness of the elderly in maintaining health due to busy work and other activities. Output: increased knowledge of partner groups about health and how to protect them. Method: health education, routine health checks, therapy and exercise to maintain the health of the elderly. Results: after counseling and health assistance before and after the provision of information increased knowledge. Prior to counseling knowledge of the elderly on osteoarthritis disorders by 32% and low back pain by 36%. After being given information, there was an increase of 64% knowledge of osteoarthritis disorders and by 72% knowledge of low back pain disorders. Conclusion: an increase in knowledge in the elderly about osteoarthritis disorders and low back pain.
