dc.description.abstractMost people have experienced low back pain, which significantly deteriorates their quality of life and causes afinancial burden on society. Understanding the associations of low back pain severity with sociodemographic and psychosocialdeterminants in a sample of Ukrainians experiencing low back pain is essential for improving treatment.Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling (N = 341) through an online survey questionnaireamong Ukrainian refugees in Czechia. Self-reported physical and mental health, depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (BAI), andsociodemographic factors were measured. Linear regressions were conducted to understand the association between self-reportedphysical and mental health determinants, anxiety, depression, sociodemographic characteristics, and low back pain.Results: Most participants with low back pain experienced moderate to concerning levels of anxiety (97.1%) and moderate to severedepression (92%). They estimated their physical and mental health from fair to very bad. The links between low back pain severityand having some limitations in everyday life or being disabled; lifestyle; age; socioeconomic status; and self-reported physicalhealth status were revealed.Conclusions: The study identified the prevalence of symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as self-reported physical andmental health statuses, and found psychosocial determinants of health associated with low back pain in the Ukrainian sampleen_US
