Abstract

Chronic (low) back pain patients are about to become a main problem of epidemiological and social aspects, especially concerning working conditions. Statistical investigations show rapid progression in application for disability pensions. The author wants to point out that statistical normal phenomena as (low) back pain can no longer be explained by our so-called established handling in reasons, diagnosis and treatment, even not in prophylaxis. Therefore there is a great need for--mainly bio-socio-psychological--studies and efforts concerning etiology, diagnosis and therapeutic concepts of low back pain, especially focussed on working place conditions and disability. In the uplined paper some new concepts are presented and discussed in order to trigger some new points of view and make clear, that further investigations are necessary.

Responsiveness of common outcome measures for patients with low back pain.

STUDY DESIGN: A prospective cohort study assessing the responsiveness of two disease-specific questionnaires and a generic health questionnaire for patients with low back pain and sciatica. OBJECTIVES: To compare the responsiveness of the eight scales and two summery scales of the SF-36 questionnaire with that of the Oswestry Disability Index and Low Back Outcome Score questionnaires. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Evaluation of treatment outcome is being determined more frequently from a patient's perspective, particularly the impact treatment has on current health status. METHODS: Patients were recruited from two orthopedic back pain clinics in a tertiary hospital. Patients completed the pretreatment questionnaire 1 month before treatment and follow-up questionnaires a minimum of 2-6 months after treatment. Patients undergoing surgery were also observed for a minimum of 2 years. RESULTS: Overall, the Oswestry Disability Index was most responsive; however, individual scales from the SF-36 questionnaire showed equal or greater sensitivity to change than the Oswestry Disability Index in each of the patient subgroups. The SF-36 Role Physical scale was prone to floor effects (a high percentage of respondents score zero), and the change scores from the SF-36 Role Emotional scale varied by 100 points in either direction in each of the patient subgroups. CONCLUSION: Responsiveness varied according to which method was used in its calculation. The responsiveness of the SF-36 questionnaire shows that it can be a useful adjunct in the assessment of patients with low back pain when combined with disease-specific questionnaires.

[The social security reform: wide-ranging effects on companies as well as occupational health services].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reactions of companies and Occupational Health Services (OHSs) to the reform of the social security system by the government of the Netherlands; especially to inventory to what extent intended effects (more handicapped workers employed, more reintegration efforts) and unintended effects (exclusion handicapped workers, deteriorated quality OHSs) occurred. DESIGN: Inventory survey. METHOD: Data on number of OHSs and their sizes and staff compositions were collected in September 1997 through a questionnaire sent to all members of the National Association of OHSs (BOA). In addition, data on efforts of enterprises in the area of working circumstances in 1996 and in 1997 were derived from the published results of enquiries by telephone among a representative random sample of 4,000 enterprises. RESULTS: The number of employees in the care of the OHSs was twice as high in 1997 as in 1991. The number of OHS staff members had also doubled, but the proportion of physicians among the total staff had decreased. The number of employees per physician had increased by 34%. The nature of the contracts concluded with enterprises shows that the extension of the market has not led to more extensive OHS care, although it has brought about greater variation. Generally, large companies developed a policy to prevent disability and to employ more handicapped workers, while small and medium-size companies more often tried to exclude people that is at risk for disability or absenteeism. CONCLUSION: Intended effects occurred to a limited extent in larger companies and unintended effects mainly in small and medium-size companies.
