Objective: To investigate depressive symptoms and their related factors in patients with chronic low back pain in Korea.
Method: A cross-sectional study using data from the fourth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES IV) 2009 was undertaken. Th e sample consisted of 1,426 participants with chronic low back pain. Multifactorial regression analysis was used to identify the association between depressive symptoms and socioeconomic demographics and other chronic diseases.
Results: Among the 371 (26.0%) patients with depression, signifi cant factors associated with depressive symptoms were female gender (odds ratio [OR], 2.691; 95% confi dence interval [CI], 1.724?4.199), medical aid benefi ciary (OR, 1.371; 95% CI, 1.039?1.810), a dependent group for activities of daily living (OR, 1.570; 95% CI, 1.180?2.087), ’not good’ in the perceived health category (OR, 2.309; 95% CI, 1.730?3.081) and in a cancer group (OR, 1.803; 95% CI, 1.051?3.093).
Conclusion: This study provides the foundation for managing patients with chronic low back pain and depressive symptoms. Clinicians managing chronic low back pain should consider risk factors for depressive symptoms.
