Summary

The focus of this proposal is to evaluate the feasibility of a cognitive reassurance training program by examining changes in physical therapist low back pain beliefs and skills with training and evaluating the quality with which physical therapists apply cognitive reassurance to patients. The secondary focus is to examine the association between physical therapist application of cognitive reassurance and short-term changes in patients' low back pain beliefs and expectations.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Cognitive reassurance training

The 2-day training program includes 3 sessions that will consist of interactive didactic lectures, solving case studies and role-playing activities. The first session uses lecture and cases to present models of pain and disability, evidence based predictors of disability and delayed recovery and evidence based interventions for patients with low back pain. The second session uses role playing and case studies help the providers to 1) develop skills in identifying maladaptive beliefs about pain in patients with low back pain and 2) develop the skills to address diagnostic uncertainty and negative pain beliefs and 3) develop skills to educate patients with low back pain. The third session will use role playing and case studies to refine the provider' skills in providing cognitive reassurance to patients with low back pain.
