Effects of an e-learning programme on osteopaths' back pain attitudes: a mixed methods feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The biopsychosocial model is recommended in the management of non-specific low back pain but musculoskeletal practitioners can lack skills in assessing and managing patients using a biopsychosocial framework. Educational interventions have produced equivocal results. There is a need for an alternative educational tool to support practitioners' development in the application of biopsychosocial model to manage low back pain.

Methods

A mixed methods study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of an e-learning programme on the biopsychosocial management of non-specific low back pain for osteopaths with more than 15 years' experience. A sequential explanatory design was conducted, with a feasibility randomised controlled trial and semi-structured interviews explor
