- Abstract
Introduction: Low back pain is common during gestation and affects the performance of daily living activities. Objectives: To verify the prevalence of low back pain, to describe the main characteristics, to identify disabilities and associated factors in pregnant women attending the public health network in the city of Juína/MT. Methods: An analytic cross-sectional observational study was carried out with pregnant women awaiting the prenatal visit in six basic health units. A questionnaire was applied to sociodemographic, clinical and lumbar related records; visual analog pain scale (EVA) and Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODQ). Results: 105 women were enrolled in the survey, aged between 18 and 37 years, 55.2% were in the second trimester and 44.8% were in the third trimester. Lumbar pain was reported in 78.1% of pregnants. It was verified by the EVA, pain intensity of 4.73 ± 2.61 points. From the QIO, the majority (54.9%) presented minimal lumbar incapacity and none presented total disability. Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of low back pain, but the disabilities were considered minimal. Many pregnant were young, housewives, who need more knowledge and help from the public health network for the prevention and relief of low back pain.
