In Turkish Version "Health Care Providers and Impairment Relationship Scale (HC-PAIRS)"

Completed

• Conditions: Health Personnel Attitude; Chronic Low-back Pain

• Registration Number: NCT04046419
• Lead Sponsor: Kutahya Health Sciences University

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the Turkish validity and reliability of ''Health Care Providers and Impairment Relationship Scale HC (HC-PAIRS)'' developed by Dr Rainville.

Detailed Description

Low back pain is one of the reasons for applying to health institutions. Low back pain, which seriously affects patients' lives and leads to major financial losses, causes serious deficiencies in both developing and developed countries. Health professionals' perception of pain, factors associated with pain and fear avoidance attitudes of patients affect the success of treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the Turkish version, validity and reliability of ''Health Care Providers and Impairment Relationship Scale (HC-PAIRS)''. 165 physiotherapist working with chronic low back pain were included in the study. In order to determine the reliability of the scale, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) will be used to determine the level of the relationship between the results of the first and second measurements. Cronbach's alpha coefficient will be used for homogeneity of the questions in the scale. For concurrent validity, correlation coefficient will be used to determine the agreement between the previously validated scales and the Turkish version of HC PAIRS.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Turkish version of Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia	10 minute	TSK was used for the assessment of kinesiophobia. The items are rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale (1=definitely disagree, 4=completely agree) and the total score is between 17 and 68 points. Higher total score indicates higher level of kinesiophobia.
The Health Care Providers' Pain and Impairment Relationship Scale	10 minute	The Health Care Providers' Pain and Impairment Relationship Scale (HC-PAIRS) is a questionnaire for assessing the attitudes and beliefs of health care providers about functional expectations for CLBP patients.17 It consists of 15 statements rated on a 6-point Likert scale ranging from "totally disagree" to "totally agree."

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists (PABS-PT)	10 minute.	This tool was developed to distinguish between biomedical and biopsychosocial orientations toward the treatment of low back pain in physiotherapists. The scale uses a 6-point Likert-type scale (1=definitely disagree, 6=definitely agree). Treatment orientation is measured on the biomedical (factor 1) and biopsychosocial (factor 2) subscales. Subscale scores are calculated by simply adding the scores corresponding to the selected response for each item. The subscale with the highest score indicates the respondent's dominant treatment orientation
