指導教授 : 邱政元

摘要


下背痛是非常普遍的疾病,令人感到困擾而且下背痛會導致病人失去工作能力。全球人口有75至85%的人,在一生中經歷過下背痛。國內下背痛相關之醫療費用在健保支出佔了一定的比例。儘管下背痛是醫療人員中最常見的健康問題之一,但大部份研究對象皆為所有下背痛患者,進行特定族群研究者並不多,而僅針對女性護理人員及一般女性急性下背痛的醫療利用情形之研究更是稀少。 本研究之方法: 本研究擬分析女性護理人員與一般民眾急性下背痛之醫療利用情形和影響因子。資料來源為2005-2009年之百萬抽樣歸人檔資料,擷取ICD-9-CM前三碼為720、721、722、724,扣除罹病部位明確為胸、頸部者,在合併完醫事人員檔後,對於非護理人員之其他醫事人員進行排除,得到罹患急性下背痛之女性護理人員1,566人;女性一般民眾共82,787人進行研究分析。 本研究之結果: 女性護理人員與一般民眾急性下背痛之醫療費用中,平均醫療費用女性一般民眾為新台幣1090.76元,標準差1728.51元,女性護理人員新台幣1213.39元,標準差1732.51元;且在就醫醫院所屬分局別、就醫科別、年齡組別、是否有慢性病、是否為重大傷病、醫療院所層級皆呈現顯著(P<0.0001)。 本研究之結論如下: 在下背痛總就診費用皆與下背痛ICD-9-CM、年齡、是否有重大傷病、就醫場所權屬別、特約層級、就醫地點、就醫科別有顯著關係。 本研究發現前傾因素之年齡和職業類別、使能因素的就醫地點、需要因素之是否有重大傷病和是否有慢性病、就醫場所特質之特約層級和就醫科別,皆為影響下背痛病人醫療利用之重要因素。 而女性護理人員較之於女性一般民眾確實有較高之醫療花費與次數,證實護理人員較易罹患急性下背痛且比起一般民眾有更高之醫療需求,與國外之研究中護理人員較易罹患下背痛之結論相符。 建議後續研究者進行相關研究時,可同時配合問卷調查,將其他重要因素列入考量,如此將可對下背痛之醫療服務利用和其影響因素有更完整的認識和瞭解,研究結果之取得會更精確。

Acute low back pain is a very common and bothering disease, making patients lose their working abilities. Around 75% to 85% of global population experienced low back pain during their lifetime. The medical cost related to low back pain account for a certain proportion of health insurance expenditure in our country. Although low back pain is one of the most common diseases in medical professionals, the majority of previous analytic studies were based on general population with low back pain with little data focusing on specific population. Studies of analysis of medical utilization focusing on female nursing staff and woman with low back pain were even scarce. Method: The aim of this study is to analyze the medical utilization pattern and affecting factor of female nursing staff and general population with acute low back pain.

After combining file of data of medical professionals, non-nursing staff was also excluded. The final number for analysis was 1792 female nursing staff with acute low back pain, compared to general woman population with number of 91812. Results: Regarding the medical cost of female nursing staff and general population with acute low back pain, the mean cost counted from female general population is NTD 1090.76, the SD is NTD 1728.51; that from female nursing staff is NTD 1213.39 and SD is NTD 1732.51. There are statistical significance (p value <0.0001) in the categories of place of insurance, department visited, age, chronic disease, catastrophic illness, and level of hospital. This study found, age and occupational types of predisposing characteristics, the level of enrollment payroll and visiting place of enablingresources, whether having major illness and whether having chronic diseases of need,and , contracted category and visiting department of visitingplacecharacteristics were important factors influenced low back pain patients’ healthservice utilization. Conclusion: There are statistical significance (p value <0.0001) regarding the total medical cost in the categories of place of insurance, department visited, age, chronic disease, catastrophic illness, and level of hospital.
