dc.description.abstractPurpose/aimTo investigate the relationship of pain intensity, disability level, physical activity level, and body awareness with kinesiophobia in pregnant women with low back pain (LBP).Materials and methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in the obstetrics and gynaecologic clinic of a tertiary centre. Eighty-six pregnant women were included in the study. Pain intensity, disability level, physical activity, body awareness, and kinesiophobia were assessed with a Visual Analogue Scale, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ), and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), respectively.ResultsKinesiophobia score was high in pregnant women with LBP (40.01 +/- 9.02). In pregnant women with LBP, a weak positive correlation was found between kinesiophobia with mean intensity of LBP (r = 0.339, p = 0.001) and intensity of LBP in activity (r = 0.283, p = 0.008); a moderate positive correlation between kinesiophobia and disability score (r = 0.539, p = 0.001); and a weak negative correlation between kinesiophobia and physical activity level (r = -0.308, p = 0.004) and body awareness (r = -0.324, p = 0.002). There was no relationship between kinesiophobia and intensity of LBP at rest (r = 0.160, p = 0.142) and nocturnal LBP intensity (r = 0.176, p = 0.105).ConclusionsLBP intensity, disability level, physical activity level, and body awareness were significantly correlated with kinesiophobia in pregnant women with LBP. Therefore, kinesiophobia may be addressed as an important issue in pregnancy education programs.en_US
