The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life and health behaviours and to analyse the relationship between the quality of life and health behaviours in the group of patients with low back pain (LBP). Material and methods: The research was conducted on a sample of 52 patients with LBP (29 female and 23 male, M(age) = 48.96±15.86). The tool used for assessing the quality of life was the Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQoL-BREF, Polish version), whereas the methodological basis for investigating health behaviours was the Health Behaviour Inventory (HBI). Results: The analysis revealed that the General Index of Intensity of Health Behaviours (GIIHB) was high in 30.8%, average in 40.4% and low in 28.8% of the respondents. Statistically significant positive relationships were observed between: (1) Positive Thinking (HBI) and: Overall Quality of Life (R=0.42), General Health (R=0.29), Psychological domain (R=0.46) and Environmental domain (R=0.44); (2) between Proper Nutritional Habits (HBI) and Overall Quality of Life (R=0.38), Psychological domain (R=0.28), Environmental domain (R=0.30); (3) between Health Practices (HBI) and: Overall Quality of Life (R=0.31) and Psychological domain (R=0.28); (4) between Preventive Behaviours (HBI) and two domains: Psychological domain (R=0.34) and Environmental domain (R=0.34). GIIHB for the respondents in general was a factor that significantly differentiated quality of life in Psychological domain (p=0.031) and Environmental domain (p=0.026). Conclusion: In general, positive correlations concerning quality of life and health behaviours of the respondents were observed between the Psychological domain and all categories of health behaviours (HBI). Furthermore, positive correlations were found for Overall Quality of Life and Environmental domain with most of HBI categories. In light of these findings, it should be indicated that the focus during therapies for patients with LBP aimed to improve their quality of life should be on education in the field of health behaviours.

下腰痛患者的生活质量和健康行为

这项研究的目的是评估生活质量和健康行为，并分析下腰痛（LBP）患者组的生活质量和健康行为之间的关系。材料和方法：本研究是对52名LBP患者（29名女性和23名男性，M（年龄）= 48.96±15.86）进行的。用来评估生活质量的工具是《生活质量问卷》（WHOQoL-BREF，波兰语版），而用于调查健康行为的方法学基础是《健康行为清单》（HBI）。结果：分析显示，健康行为强度综合指数（GIIHB）的高（30.8％），平均（40.4％）和低（28.8％）。（1）积极思考（HBI）与：总体生活质量（R = 0.42），总体健康（R = 0.29），心理领域（R = 0.46）和环境领域（R = 0.44）; （2）在适当的营养习惯（HBI）和整体生活质量（R = 0.38），心理领域（R = 0.28），环境领域（R = 0.30）之间；（3）在健康实践（HBI）和：整体生活质量（R = 0.31）和心理领域（R = 0.28）之间；（4）在预防行为（HBI）和两个领域之间：心理领域（R = 0.34）和环境领域（R = 0.34）。一般而言，受访者的GIIHB是在心理领域（p = 0.031）和环境领域（p = 0.026）显着区分生活质量的因素。结论：总体而言，在心理学领域和所有健康行为类别之间，观察到与受访者的生活质量和健康行为呈正相关。此外，发现总体生活质量和环境领域与大多数HBI类别呈正相关。根据这些发现，应该指出，旨在改善LBP患者的生活质量的治疗期间，重点应该放在健康行为领域的教育上。
