简要总结
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of a 70-minute Pain neuroscience education (PNE) session on physiotherapy students' knowledge of pain and their beliefs and attitudes about the treatment of patients with chronic pain.
详细描述
To investigate the effect of a 70 minute pain neuroscience education session on physiotherapy students' knowledge of pain and their beliefs and attitudes about the treatment of patients with chronic pain. This study was a single-center, cross-sectional study on the pain knowledge of students in a four-year physiotherapy program and their beliefs and attitudes about patients with back pain.Students were eligible to participate if they were enrolled at physiotherapy undergraduate program at Kütahya Health Sciences University Faculty of Health Sciences. Individuals were excluded if they had previously received in depth-teaching on pain neuroscience. The study was completed with 156 students from different classes (first, second, and third year of the program) who agreed to participate in the study. All participants were informed about the study and signed informed consent forms. Pain neurophysiology questionnaire and Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists were used to assess pain knowladge and attitudes and beliefs. After recording their demographic information, the participants completed the Neuroscience of Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) and Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists (PABS-PT) at three time points: pre-PNE, immediately post-PNE, and 6 months after PNE.

研究组 & 干预措施
Pain education group
Pain education was conducted in physical conditions similar to the university classrooms where the study was performed for all participants.
干预措施: Pain neuroscience education (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire (NPQ)
时间窗: Baseline and six months
The NPQ was designed to assess pain knowledge and consists of 19 questions with choices of "true", "false", or "I don't know." The questionnaire was developed in 2003 by Moseley , the validity study was conducted by Catley et al. , and it was determined as effective in the evaluation of pain knowledge. The total score is 0-19, with higher score indicating more correct answers. It was reported that the NPQ can be used both with healthcare professionals and with patients after some modifications to make it more comprehensible for patients.
次要结局
