This study aims to compare the quality of life (QoL), kinesiophobia, perceived occupational performance and satisfaction (POPaS) levels between individuals experiencing low back (LBP) and/or neck pain (NP) and control group (CG) without such pain, as well as to identify occupations in daily life where problems occur.
Method:
QoL was evaluated using the Nottingham Health Profile, kinesiophobia using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, and POPaS levels through the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure.
Results:
QoL scores revealed significant differences between the CG and the LBP and LBNP groups (p < 0.001). Kinesiophobia levels were significantly higher in groups with LBP and LBNP compared to the CG (p < 0.01). Regarding POPaS, the CG scored significantly higher than the LBP and LBNP groups (p < 0.05). The NP group showed significantly lower satisfaction scores compared to the CG (p < 0.001). Individuals reporting pain experienced notable difficulties in areas such as personal care, mobility and home management.
Conclusion:
Our findings indicate that LBP and/or NP negatively impacts QoL and daily activities, with kinesiophobia potentially contributing to this condition. Consequently, the impact of LBP and/or NP on occupational performance should not be underestimated. Intervention strategies aimed at reducing kinesiophobia and enhancing occupational performance should be considered in intervention plans.
