Abstract(s)
Objective: To examine the association between pain catastrophizing, fear avoidance beliefs and intensity
of pain with self reported functional disability in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods: An
observational analytic cross-sectional sample of 90 individuals with chronic low back pain. Data collection
was conducted through the following four measures: Questionnaire for QCLI survey variables, the Roland
Morris,Disability Questionnaire; the pain catastrophizing scale; and the fear avoidance beliefs
questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the frequency distribution and measures of central
tendency and the nonparametric correlation test of Spearman. Results: The pain catastrophizing variable
obtained a correlation value with the self reported disability rs = 0.446, p <0.01, the variable of fear
avoidance beliefs of work-related pain obtained a correlation value with the self reported disability rs =
0.455 to p <0.01, current pain intensity and in the previous year obtained values of correlation with selfreported
disability rs = 0.289 and rs = 0.362 respectively for p-value <0.01. Conclusion: The psychosocial
variables of pain catastrophizing and fear avoidance belief of pain-related to work, have a moderate
association with disability in individuals with chronic low back pain. The association between pain intensity
and disability seems to have a less important role demonstrating low associations.
