The attitudes and beliefs of clinicians treating back pain: Do they affect patients' outcomes?
The attitudes and beliefs of clinicians treating back pain: Do they affect patients' outcomes?
There is a rising interest in the treatment-extrinsic factors that may affect outcome in patients with back pain, and in the role that communication with clinicians might play to reduce or increase obstacles to recovery. Research in this area is still in its early stages. There are some methodological issues related to measuring clinicians’ beliefs. In addition, since it is not clear which clinicians’ beliefs increase obstacles to recovery in patients, interventions have tended to focus on the messages communicated to patients, and have attempted to increase knowledge and awareness of guideline recommendations in clinicians. In general, such campaigns have been moderately successful, but results may be significantly improved if specific beliefs demonstrated to have a negative effect on patients were addressed directly.

Abstract
There is a rising interest in the treatment-extrinsic factors that may affect outcome in patients with back pain, and in the role that communication with clinicians might play to reduce or increase obstacles to recovery. Research in this area is still in its early stages. There are some methodological issues related to measuring clinicians’ beliefs. In addition, since it is not clear which clinicians’ beliefs increase obstacles to recovery in patients, interventions have tended to focus on the messages communicated to patients, and have attempted to increase knowledge and awareness of guideline recommendations in clinicians. In general, such campaigns have been moderately successful, but results may be significantly improved if specific beliefs demonstrated to have a negative effect on patients were addressed directly.
