Relationship between kinesiophobia and somnipathy among inpatients with lumbar degenerative disease after surgery and its impact pathway / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the relationship between kinesiophobia and somnipathy among inpatients with lumbar degenerative disease after surgery, and analyze the mediating effects of post-traumatic stress disorder and family care.Methods:A cross-sectional survey method was adopted, from July 2020 to July 2022, a total of 130 lumbar degenerative disease patients from Wuhan Dongxihu District People′s Hospital were enrolled as research object by convenience sampling method. General information questionnaire, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Posttraumatic Stress Checklist-civilian version and Family APGAR index were used for investigation. A structural equation model was established to evaluate the mediating effect of post-traumatic stress disorder, family care on kinesiophobia and somnipathy.Results:The scores of kinesiophobia, somnipathy, post-traumatic stress disorder and family care were (39.95 ± 3.90), (7.63 ± 0.46), (25.99 ± 4.99), (5.67 ± 1.76) points, respectively. There were significant differences in the scores of somnipathy in terms of age, monthly income, course of disease and pain degree ( F values were 3.21 to 10.12, all P<0.05). The dimensions and total scores of somnipathy were positively correlated with kinesiophobia ( r values were 0.347 to 0.800, all P<0.05) and post-traumatic stress disorder ( r values were 0.385 to 0.825, all P<0.05), negatively correlated with the scores of family care ( r values were - 0.653 to - 0.282, all P<0.05); the scores of family care was negatively correlated with kinesiophobia and post-traumatic stress disorder ( r = - 0.695, - 0.637, both P<0.05); the scores of kinesiophobia was positively correlated with post-traumatic stress disorder ( r = 0.773, P<0.05). The indirect effect of kinesiophobia on somnipathy was identified, and the total indirect effect value was 0.44; the indirect effect value of family care and post-traumatic stress disorder was 0.09, which accounted for 12.0% of the total effect. Conclusions:Post-traumatic stress disorder and family care play a multiple mediating role on the relationship between kinesiophobia and somnipathy in patients with lumbar degenerative disease after surgery.
