Pain cognitions and impact of low back pain after participation in a self-management program: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Benefits from low back pain (LBP) treatments seem to be related to patients changing their pain cognitions and developing an increased sense of control. Still, little is known about how these changes occur. The objective of this study was to gain insights into possible shifts in the understanding of LBP and the sense of being able to manage pain among patients participating in a LBP self-management intervention.

Methods

Using a qualitative study and a content analytic framework, we investigated the experiences of patients with LBP who participated in 'GLA:D^® Back', a group-based structured patient education and exercise program. Data were generated through qualitative semi-structured interviews conducted between January 2019 and October 2019. Interviews
