Occupational low back Pain (LBP) is a major cause of morbidity and cost. Efforts to control LBP are largely unsuccessful because of the dynamic and multi-factorial nature of this problem. Better understanding of risks is needed, especially psychological factors. The purpose of this research was to assess the association between worker attributions and LBP. According to attribution theory, there is a natural human tendency to explain adverse events like LBP. Attributing LBP to internal causes may increase the worker's perceived control, whereas external attribution may cause distress. A new model was developed to explore these associations.

520 $a Occupational low back Pain (LBP) is a major cause of morbidity and cost. Efforts to control LBP are largely unsuccessful because of the dynamic and multi-factorial nature of this problem. Better understanding of risks is needed, especially psychological factors. The purpose of this research was to assess the association between worker attributions and LBP. According to attribution theory, there is a natural human tendency to explain adverse events like LBP. Attributing LBP to internal causes may increase the worker's perceived control, whereas external attribution may cause distress. A new model was developed to explore these associations.
520 $a A cross-sectional design was used in this study of 292 garment workers. Data were gathered by self-administered questionnaire and through direct observation. Responses to questions on worker attributions of LBP cause and knowledge of back safety were subjected to factor analysis and other psychometric evaluation to develop scales. Six hypotheses based on the Demand-Control and Attribution models were tested using multivariate logistic regression.
520 $a The attribution and knowledge scales appeared to be reliable (Cronbach's alpha = 0.81--0.85 and 0.74, respectively). Workers who were high versus low in internal attribution were more likely to be knowledgeable of back safety (OR = 7.0, 95% CI =3.5--14). Workers reporting high versus low demand as measured by the Job Content Questionnaire were more likely to report LBP (OR = 2.5, 95% CI = 1.3--4.6). Workers attributing LBP to job tasks or those reporting low supervisor support were more likely to report LBP (OR= 4.4, 95% CI = 2.2--8.9 and OR= 4.0, 95% CI = 1.4--11, respectively). Workers with annual incomes above $1 5,000 were more likely to report LBP in the test of both the Demand-Control and Attribution models (OR = 2.7, 95% CI = 1.21--6.16 and OR = 4.7, 95% CI = 1.8--12.5. respectively).
520 $a While both models appeared to be useful for the study of low back pain, the Demand-Control model explained only 5.9% of the variance, whereas the Attribution model explained 20.7%. This study provides evidence that attribution theory is useful in the study of LBP, including in future interventions in the prevention of LBP.
