Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current status of kinesiophobia in pregnant women with pregnancy-related low back pain (PLBP) and its influencing factors, so as to inform the clinical development of intervention programs.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 270 pregnant women with PLBP who underwent routine obstetric examination from August to November 2023 at the Obstetrics Clinic of Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Jiangnan University. Pregnant women were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Tampa Scale for Kinesio-Phobia, Falls Efficacy Scale-International, Pregnancy Exercise Self-efficacy Scale, and Low Back Pain Knowledge Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the factors influencing kinesiophobia in pregnant women with PLBP.Results:In 270 pregnant women with PLBP, the kinesiophobia score was (47.78±8.80) and the prevalence of kinesiophobia was 89.3% (241/270). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that lower extremity edema, pain, fear of falling, exercise self-efficacy, and knowledge of low back pain were the factors influencing kinesiophobia in pregnant women with PLBP ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Pregnant women have a high level of kinesiophobia, and there are many influencing factors. Healthcare professionals should consider a variety of factors to develop an intervention program to reduce kinesiophobia and increase activity levels in pregnant women with PLBP.
