Abstract

This study was conducted to identify factors related to the musculoskeletal symptoms of 340 family caregivers who have a patient with brain damage based on self-administered questionnaires. The questionnaires included general characteristics, characteristics of care activities and caregivers' musculoskeletal symptoms. Data were collected from many long-term care hospitals and rehabilitation centers during March 17 to March 21, 2014. The results indicated that complaint rates of work-related musculoskeletal systems of the body sites differed. Factor analysis revealed that neck complaints were related to education (under mid), while shoulder complaints were related to sex (female), age (50-59), education (mid) and duration of care (< 2 years). Arm/elbow complaints were related to age (40-49), education (high) and duration of care (12-24). Complaints regarding the hand/wrist/finger were related to age (50-59) and duration of care (12-24), while those associated with the legs/feet were related to age (50-59) and duration of care (< 6[ED highlight - years? Please specify.]). Back problems were related to education (under mid, mid stage, high) and gait. The complaint rate regarding musculoskeletal symptoms during daily life was not statistically significant. Logistic regression analysis of significant factors related to subjective musculoskeletal symptoms identified ambulation and gait as having the greatest influence and complaint factor among family caregivers. The complaint rate of family caregivers differed among body parts. Being a caregiver for less than one year was found to have a significant impact on pain. Overall, long term family caregivers could be faced with risk factors for musculoskeletal problems, but there are many different factors that affect musculoskeletal symptoms with regards to their activities. Accordingly, comprehensive and systematic prevention plans for family caregivers who have patients with brain damage should be developed.

본 연구는 뇌손상 진단을 받고 병원에서 재활치료를 실시하고 있는 환자의 가족 간병인 340명을 대상으로 근골격계증상을 알아보고 그 관련요인을 파악하고자 자기 기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사 내용은 일반적 특성, 간병활동 특성, 근골격계 자각 증상이였다. 본 연구의 조사 기간은 2014년 3월부터 4월이며, 재활병원 및 요양병원에서 수집하였다. 연구결과 독립변수에 따른 자각증상 호소율은 신체부위별로 다르게 나타났다. 요인분석의 결과는 목의 경우 초졸의 학력이 영향을 끼쳤고, 어깨의 경우 여자, 나이 50~59세, 학력 중졸, 간병기간 1년 이내와 1년 7개월 이상 2년 이내가 영향을 끼쳤다. 팔/팔꿈치의 경우 나이 40~49세, 학력 대졸, 간병기간 1년 이내와 1년 7개월 이상 2년 이내 변인이 유의한 영향을 끼쳤다. 손/손목/손가락의 경우 나이 50~59세, 간병기간 1년 이내와 1년 7개월 이상 2년 이내 변인이 통증에 유의한 영향을 끼쳤다. 다리/발의 경우 나이 50~59세, 간병기간 6개월 이내 변인이 통증에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 허리의 경우 학력 초졸 중졸 고졸, 간병기간 1년 이내와 1년 7개월 이상 2년 이내, 독립보행 불가능 변인이 통증에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 진단명 별 간병활동 특성에서 근골격계 자각증상 호소율은 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 근골격계 자각증상 호소에 가장 영향을 미치는 간병활동 동작으로는 이동하기와 보행이었다. 근골격계 자각증상에 영향을 미치는 전체 요인에 대해서는 간병 기간 1년 이내가 전체 통증에 유의한(p<.05) 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결론으로는 뇌손상 환자의 가족 간병인은 환자를 간병하는 간병활동 특성에서 근골격계 질환의 위험에 노출되어 생활하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 뇌손상 환자를 돌보는 가족 간병인의 신체부위별 근골격계 증상에 영향을 미치는 요인이 다르므로 이러한 요인에 대한 체계적이며 종합적인 예방 교육과 연구가 마련되어야 할 것이다.
