Description détaillée
Identifying strategies to favorably alter unhelpful cognitions of patients with recent onset low back pain is a research priority and could help curb the transition from acute to chronic low back pain; lessening the need for prolonged and costly management. Current evidence suggests that psychological factors, including maladaptive pain beliefs and avoidant behaviors and expectations for recovery, are associated with poor outcomes in patients with low back pain. Recently, considerable attention has been given to training non-psychologists to provide psychologically based interventions for patients with low back pian. A recent review of interventions that included psychological approaches noted that all of the trials that failed to show benefit included delivery of the intervention by non-psychologists. Authors suggest that increasing the effort in selecting, training, supervising and assessing the competence of the practitioners delivering the treatment could improve results.
Low back pain comprises approximately 50% of the caseload of outpatient physical therapists physical therapists making physical therapists ideally positioned to manage the unhelpful cognitions of patients with low back pain. However, physical therapists often feel unprepared when managing the cognitive factors associated with low back pain. The purpose of this project is to develop and assess the effectiveness of a training program for physical therapists that focuses on cognitive reassurance; a novel cognitive intervention for patients with low back pain.
Cognitive reassurance is a communication approach in which maladaptive beliefs and expectations are identified. Tailored explanations for the patient's conditions are then provided, possible prognosis and treatment are discussed, and clarifications are offered. With adequate training, physical therapists could utilize cognitive reassurance to promote patients' understanding of his/her condition and modify maladaptive low back pain-related beliefs and expectations.
The proposed pilot study will use a pre-post design to examine the impact of cognitive reassurance training on the low back pain beliefs and skills in physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. Following the training the investigators will recruit patients who have scheduled an evaluation for low back pain with the physical therapists who attended the training. Patient data will be collected at baseline before the evaluation and follow up data at 2, 4 and 8 weeks.
The specific aims are: 1) Evaluate the feasibility of a cognitive reassurance training program for physical therapists that focuses on modifying physical therapists' beliefs and improving physical therapists' skill in the application of cognitive reassurance for patients with acute/subacute low back pain. 2) Evaluate the application of cognitive reassurance by physical therapists to patients with acute/sub-acute low back pain. 3) Examine the association between physical therapist application of cognitive reassurance and short-term changes in the patient's low back pain beliefs and expectations (low back pain beliefs, self-efficacy, pain catastrophizing, fear-avoidance).

Expérimental: Provider 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.
