简要总结
This study investigates the effect of pain neuroscience education (PNE) on pain knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors among undergraduate physiotherapy students in Jordan
详细描述
Physiotherapy students at the Hashemite University will be randomly assigned into either pain neuroscience education or control lectures groups. Both groups will receive a 70-min didactic group-lecture. The control group will receive education about red-flags which are special screening questions for serious pathology. The red-flags education will discuss tissue pathology and triage for back pain classification. Neurophysiology and the biopsychosocial mode will not be discussed. The intervention group will receive a PNE lecture. All primary and secondary outcome measures consist of validated questionnaires (e.g., RNPQ, HC-PAIRS), except for the study-specific red-flags knowledge test; the study-specific case vignette assessing guideline-concordant low back pain recommendations underwent validation testing before participant recruitment.

结局指标
主要结局
Revised Pain Neurophysiology Questionnaire (RNPQ)
时间窗: Before and immediately after and 6 months after the education session
The 12-item RNPQ will be used to assess knowledge of pain neurophysiology. Responses are marked yes, no or undecided. One point is awarded for correct answers. Scores range from 0 to 12, with high scores indicating good knowledge.
The modified HC-PAIRS
时间窗: Prior to and immediately and 6 months after the education session
The modified HC-PAIRS (Health Care Providers' Pain and Impairment Relationship Scale will be used to measure attitudes and beliefs towards patients with chronic pain and their ability to function. This 13-item questionnaire uses a 7-point Likert scale (strongly disagree to strongly agree). Scores range from 13 to 91 with lower scores suggesting more positive attitudes.
次要结局
- Case vignette to measure behavior (clinical recommendations).(Before and immediately and 6 months after the education session)
- Case vignette to measure behavior (clinical recommendations).(Before and immediately and 6 months after the education session)
