Abstract

Low back pain is commonly experienced by both adolescents and adults. The aim of this study is to research the prevalence of the Oswestry disability index(ODI) in their 20s of college students. The data was collected from the ODI questionnaire on functional disability measures for college students(males: 233, females: 407). Statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS 12.0 program, which was used for descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis. The results were : Firstly, 'sitting' item was showed 'the highest score' and 'the lowest score' was 'personal care' in ODI items. Secondly, there was statistically significant between female(6.13) and male(4.62) on ODI but not ODI grade(p<0.01). Thirdly, there was a statistically significant relationship between ODI grade and each ODI items(p<0.01). These results have specific meaning as future clinical and epidemiological studies.

요통은 청소년과 성인에서 흔히 경험하게 된다. 이 연구의 목적은 20대 대학생의 요통장애지수에 대한 분포를 조사하는 것이다. 요통장애지수(ODI) 설문지를 이용하여 대학생(남성: 233, 여성: 407)들 대상으로 조사하여 수집하였다. 통계적 분석은 SPSS 12.0을 이용하여 기술통계, 독립표본 t-test 및 피어슨의 상관분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과는 첫째, 요통장애지수(ODI) 항목 중에서 가장 높은 점수를 나타내는 것은 '앉기'이고, 가장 낮은 점수는 '개인위생'로 나타났다. 둘째, 요통장애지수는 남성이 4.62점, 여성이 6.13점으로 나타나 성별간의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났지만(p<0.01), 요통장애지수 등급은 성별간의 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 셋째, 요통장애지수 등급과 각각의 요통장애지수 항목은 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 위의 결과는 앞으로의 임상적, 역학적 연구자료로 의미를 가질 것이다.
