| Abstract |
Chronic low back pain is a disease that interferes with quality of life and the patient's functional capability. This study aimed to identify the moderating effect of the "Type of Family" in the relationship between functional disability and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain. Two hundred and three patients with low back pain for longer than 3 months participated in the study. The instruments used were: Medical Outcome Study (MOS 20); Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDO; Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES II). Regression analyses were performed in order to test the moderating effect of the type of family. The results showed that patients with lower levels of disability presented better quality of life in the intermediate and balanced families, and this relationship was even stronger in balanced families. According to the results, intervention programs in chronic low back pain, besides the patient, should include the family particularly in balanced families since they are the ones that feel the impact of the disease on their quality of life the most. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 January 2016.
All research outputs
#16,048,318
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#987
of 2,035 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#218,263
of 399,677 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#14
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,035 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 399,677 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its contemporaries.
