Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs About Musculoskeletal Pain Among Primary Care Health Professionals in Spain.
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Pain is influenced by psychological and emotional factors, and healthcare professionals may unintentionally contribute to chronic disability by reinforcing fear and limiting normal activity. Patients with chronic pain often feel they lack adequate information to manage their condition.
This study aims to:
* Assess primary care professionals' knowledge of pain neurophysiology in Spain.
* Evaluate their attitudes and beliefs about chronic low back pain.
* Examine their fear-avoidance beliefs related to pain. A cross-sectional study will gather data from primary care providers. The results will help guide educational strategies and policies to improve musculoskeletal pain management. This will be the first study in Spain to analyze these aspects among primary care professionals.
