简要总结
The effect of a 70 minute Pain Neurophysiology Education session on Sport Therapy Students Knowledge, Attitudes and Clinical Behaviour Towards Athletes With Chronic Pain
详细描述
This single-blind, randomised control trial aims to investigate the effect of a brief 70 minute Pain Neurophysiology Education session on sport therapy students knowledge, attitudes and clinical behaviour towards athletes with chronic pain. Participants will be selected from first year undergraduate and postgraduate sport therapy cohorts. Random number generator will assign participants into two subgroups. Group 1 will receive a control education on clinical 'red flags'. Red flags are questions that are routinely asked by therapists in clinical practice to screen for sinister pathology. Group 2 will receive education called 'Pain Neurophysiology Education' (taken from the Explain Pain publication). This mode of education uses the neurophysiology of pain to explain the experience, and has been used as an educational tool for patient, healthcare practitioners and students alike. Data collection (completion of three questionnaires) will take place immediately prior, and immediately after each education session.
The change in these outcomes pre and post intervention will subsequently be compared between groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Clinical Vignette. (clinical recommendations)
时间窗: Outcome measure assessed IMMEDIATELY post intervention, on the same day. NO FOLLOW UP.
A case vignette is a validated proxy measure of clinical behaviour, and is assessed by multiple choice recommendations following a case scenario. This recommendations are weighted as either 'appropriate' or 'inappropriate' based on current clinical guidelines.
Pain Neurophysiology Quiz. (knowledge)
时间窗: Outcome measure assessed IMMEDIATELY post intervention, on the same day. NO FOLLOW UP.
A 13 point validated questionnaire assessing participant knowledge of contemporary pain knowledge.
The Health Care Pain Attitudes and Impairment Relationship Scale. (attitudes)
时间窗: Outcome measure assessed IMMEDIATELY post intervention, on the same day. NO FOLLOW UP.
A 13 item validated likert-scale questionnaire to measure health care professionals attitudes towards the ability of patients with pain to function despite their pain.
