Can a tailored implementation programme enhance the adoption of guideline-adherent behaviour in physiotherapists and chiropractors managing patients with low back pain? An implementation study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Low back pain (LBP) is the primary contributor to disability worldwide, leading to a significant healthcare burden. Implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) can reduce this burden, as healthcare professionals (HCPs) working evidence-based reduce the number of treatments, the use of imaging and medication compared to HCPs not working evidence-based. Clinical practice guidelines have been published to help HCPs implement research evidence into practice. Unfortunately, studies have consistently shown a lack of adherence to guidelines in LBP care. This study aimed to investigate the implementation outcomes of a tailored programme for implementing key recommendations from LBP guidelines among Danish physiotherapists and chiropractors working in primary care.
