Development of a work-integrated learning programme for chronic pain physiotherapy in Dutch private practice using co-design methods: description of a journey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physiotherapists recognise the biopsychosocial model as important in treating chronic pain. However, the adoption of this model in Dutch private practice is limited. Participatory action research, including co-design methods and an explicit perspective on workplace learning, may be helpful in developing a work-integrated learning programme to facilitate the use of a biopsychosocial perspective in private practice physiotherapy.

Objective

To give insight into the development of a work-integrated learning programme for private practice physiotherapists in assessing and treating patients with chronic pain from a biopsychosocial perspective.

Methods

An interprofessional development team of designers, developers, educational professionals and researchers engaged
