Systematic review of psychosocial factors at work and private life as risk factors for back pain
article
To assess whether psychosocial factors at work and in private life are risk factors for the occurrence of back pain a computerized bibliographical search of several databases was performed, restricted to studies with a cohort or case-control design. In this review eleven cohort and two case-control studies were included. Strong evidence was found for low social support in the workplace and low job satisfaction as risk factors for back pain. Insufficient evidence was found for an effect of a high work pace, high qualitative demands, low job control, and psychosocial factors in private life.
